title: Acoustic echo cancellation in the presence of microphone arrays

abstract: Hands-free communication can be applied to many practical applications such as teleconferencing, video conferencing, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) conferencing, and mobile telephony to make communicating more convenient and safer. In order to make sure that a high quality conversation exists between parties the hands-free system requires a microphone array beamformer, to reduce background noise, as well as an acoustic echo canceller to prevent the far-end signal from being transmitted back to the far-end. This thesis proposes a new structure for combining acoustic echo cancellation and microphone array beamforming that outperforms current structures under changing conditions within the hands-free environment. Simulations have shown that by taking into consideration the dynamic behaviour of the hands-free environment, the proposed structure outperforms current combined structures by up to approximately 2dB on average during changing acoustical environment conditions.

title: Combined beamforming and noise cancellation

abstract: This work examines combined beamformer-noise canceller (BF-NC) structures. A new paradigm for adaptive beamforming is presented: The front-end consists of a bank of arbitrary beamformers which are configured independently by a beam-steering module. A switching unit then cascades the beamformers with a multiple-reference adaptive noise canceller which provides sidelobe suppression. The relationship between the front-end beamformers and cascaded adaptive noise cancellers is characterized by computing the beampattem, directivity, white noise gain, and signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) before and after the noise canceller stage. It is shown that the SIR gain offered by the desired signal beamformer varies inversely with the SIR gain contributed by the noise canceller. It is also shown that signal enhancement is offered for a broad range of scenarios, including a speech desired signal and speech interference. An emphasis is placed on evaluating BF-NC structures in real environments. Experimental results reveal SIR improvements of up to 30 dB.

title: Standards creation involvement in a large telecom product development company; a grounded theory

abstract: Product development companies engage in standards creation since standards influence timely development, introduction and acceptance of their products. For a telecom product supplier, standards involvement becomes critical since standards are essential for interworking and interoperability across telecommunication systems. Drawing from twelve archived standards stories, fifteen standards practitioner surveys and six completed standards creation research cases, the research develops a grounded theory to account for success measures and success factors for standards creation involvement in a large telecom product development company. The research identifies a typical telecom standards creation lifecycle. The research proposes seven success measures and nine success factors of standards creation involvement in a large telecom product development company. It also identifies nine circumstances that mediate the effect of success factors on success measures of standards creation involvement. Finally, the research proposes evaluation criteria that standards practitioners can apply to predict likelihood of success of standards creation involvements and identify potential issues.

title: An enhanced OSPF routing protocol in wireless mesh networks with Rayleigh/Ricean fading

abstract:
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a link state based interior gateway routing protocol. This study explores the performance of OSPF routing protocol in a fixed wireless network with Rayleigh/Ricean fading. Our topology consists o f wireless mesh routers, which are connected to each other via 802.11a links.
During our throughput performance study two types of throughput losses are identified. The first type of throughput loss is a direct consequence of fading, and happens when user traffic is sent during fading depths and lost The second type of throughput loss is an indirect consequence of fading, and happens when OSPF control traffic is sent during fading depths and lost This results in router interface shut down and consequent user traffic interruption and route changes.
FA-OSPF (Fading Adapted OSPF) routing algorithm was developed in our study in order to prevent the second type of throughput loss and consequent user traffic interruption and route changes.

title: Architecture for adaptive remote patient monitoring

abstract:
The population is aging at an unprecedented rate around the world and the majority of the aging population suffers from chronic illnesses like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory diseases, and cancers in addition falls are major cause of mortality with elderly patient
Remote patient monitoring offers improved care to patients with chronic and/or acute illnesses in their place of residence without the need for frequent visits to the hospital, thus reducing the medical cost as well as improving the quality of life for the patients. A remote patient monitoring system architectural design is proposed that is cost effective, robust and scalable so that components can be added as plug-and-play modules.
The proposed architecture was extended to include an adaptive information content management method and buffering scheme to reduce the loss of patient data and improve survivability of the monitoring system under adverse network conditions like network congestion and/or temporary loss of network connectivity.
A remote patient monitoring system to monitor bed occupancy using a pressure sensitive mat was implemented and a trial was conducted to verify its application in the field. A usability study was done to evaluate the user response to a graphical user interface (GUI) prototype for the bed occupancy remote patient monitoring system. Using the feedback from this usability study, the functional GUI was implemented. The application of an adaptive information content management method for the bed occupancy monitoring system was demonstrated and the improvement in the survivability of the system was evaluated.

title: Wireless network system based multi-non-invasive sensors for smart home

abstract:
There are several techniques that have been implemented for smart homes usage; however, most of these techniques are limited to a few sensors. Many of these methods neither meet the needs of the user nor are cost-effective.
 This thesis discusses the design, development, and implementation of a wireless network system, based on multi-non-invasive sensors for smart home environments. This system has the potential to be used as a means to accurately, and remotely, determine the activities of daily living by continuously monitoring relatively simple parameters that measure the interaction between users and their surrounding environment.
We designed and developed a prototype system to meet the specific needs of the elderly population. Unlike audio-video based health monitoring systems (which have associated problems such as the encroachment of privacy), the developed system's distinct features ensure privacy and are almost invisible to the occupants, thus increasing the acceptance levels of this system in household environments. The developed system not only achieved high levels of accuracy, but it is also portable, easy to use, cost-effective, and requires low data rates and less power compared to other wireless devices such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, wireless USB, Ultra wideband (UWB), or Infrared (IR) wireless.
 Field testing of the prototype system was conducted at different locations inside and outside of the Minto Building (Centre for Advanced Studies in Engineering a t Carleton University) as well as other locations, such as the washroom, kitchen, and living room of a prototype apartment. The main goal of the testing was to determine the range of the prototype system and the functionality of each sensor in different environments. After it was verified that the system operated well in all of the tested environments, data w ere then collected at the different locations for analysis and interpretation in order to identify the activities of daily living of an occupant.

title: Effect of fuel composition on the response of an acoustically forced flat flame

abstract: Interest in alternative fuels for power generation is growing, yet these fuels bring new challenges to gas turbine design and operation. Among these challenges are combustor operability issues, highlighted by problems with combustion instabilities. For this thesis, a fundamental study of the effects of fuel composition on combustion dynamics was undertaken. An acoustically forced flat flame burner was constructed, allowing measurement of the flame transfer function (FTF) relating acoustic perturbations to heat release rate fluctuations in the flame. Tests were done using methane, along with simulated syngas and biogas fuel mixtures over a variety of operating conditions. Large variations in methane concentration had a significant impact on the FTF, while variations in the hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio did not impact the FTF in fuel mixtures of equal parts methane and syngas. The Strouhal number was found to be an important parameter in predicting phase response independent of the fuel type. Flame liftoff distance and fuel composition were the key parameters determining the peak FTF magnitude. A hypothesis on the role of the non-adiabatic nature of the flat flame and thermal-diffusive effects on the trends in peak FTF magnitude is presented and discussed.

title: Variable step-size adaptive algorithms for acoustic echo cancellation in hands-free portable devices

abstract:
Hands-free communication is becoming more ubiquitous in many of today’s practical devices such as mobile phones, tablets, teleconferencing systems, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) conferencing systems, hearing aids, Bluetooth® accessories, and hands-free car kits. Therefore there is an increased demand for more robust acoustic echo cancellation and noise cancellation to provide higher quality conversations. Acoustic echo cancellers use adaptive filters to identify the acoustic echo path impulse response. Non-stationarity of the acoustic environment and long lengths of the echo paths impose challenges on the performance of adaptive algorithms.
This thesis proposes new techniques to improve the performance of adaptive algorithms in the context of acoustic echo cancellation by varying the step-size parameter in different ways. Two techniques are proposed and incorporated into existing variable step-size Normalized LeastMean-Square (NLMS) based algorithms: the gradient-induced technique and the thresholding technique. In the gradient-induced technique, an estimate of the gradient of the coefficients’ adaptation is incorporated into the filter coefficients’ update rule. It is shown that the proposed technique improves the overall performance of selected Proportionate NLMS (PNLMS) based algorithms with a modest increase in complexity. It also allows algorithms to achieve comparable performance with less overall complexity when compared to more complex algorithms. The thresholding technique is incorporated into the NLMS algorithm and the NonParametric Variable Step-Size NLMS (NPVSS-NLMS) algorithm forming new classes of thresholded NLMS-based algorithms. Simulations show that the proposed thresholded algorithms outperform their original counterparts in terms of convergence speed and tracking capability with a modest increase in computations.

title: Resolving the Pythium ultimum species complex

abstract: The Pythium ultimum species complex is comprised of two morphological varieties: var. ultimum and var. sporangiiferum. Previous efforts to resolve whether the two varieties are genetically distinct have produced conflicting results. Using 29 isolates of Pythium ultimum - twelve isolates of var. sporangiiferum and seventeen isolates of var. ultimum, multi-gene genealogies were created from both newly identified highly variable genes and previously identified genes. Observed conflict between species estimates given by nuclear and mitochondrial gene regions resulted in two separate studies. The first examined multiple nuclear genes to resolve the species complex, while the second tested the suitability of mitochondrial genes for phylogenetic analysis. Nuclear multi-gene genealogies found that the Pythium ultimum species complex is comprised of four genetically distinct species, while mitochondrial multi-gene genealogies indicate that the mitochondrial genome of Pythium ultimum is single copy, non-recombinant and uniparentally inherited.

title: Usage monitoring of electrical devices in a smart home

abstract: Profiling the usage of electrical devices within a smart home can be used as a method for determining an occupant's activities of daily living, which can support independent living of older adults. A nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) system monitors the electrical consumption at a single electrical source and the operating schedules of individual devices are determined by disaggregating the composite electrical consumption waveforms. Nonintrusive load monitoring systems are able to detect the status of electrical devices based on the analysis of load signatures, the unique electrical behaviour of an individual device when it is in operation. This work uses a feature-based model, applying steady-state features (i.e., real power and reactive power) and transient features (i.e., switching on transient waveforms), for describing the load signatures of individual electrical devices. In this thesis, a NILM system is presented, which employs several common household electrical devices for data acquisition. Promising results are shown which demonstrate that real power and reactive power are useful steady-state features to identify electrical devices. Furthermore, experimental results showed that different electrical devices can be distinguished based on their switching on transient waveforms. Experimental results showed that the proposed approach can achieve high device recognition accuracy for electrical devices operating individually and simultaneously.

title: Image processing algorithms for patient mobility monitoring using pressure sensitive bed and floor arrays

abstract: This thesis focuses on the problem of unobtrusive patient monitoring using pressure sensor arrays to help assess the mobility of older adults. Using under mattress pressure sensor arrays data is captured continuously from occupants. The raw data is processed using specialized algorithms and important clinical information is extracted. Key clinical features including bed entry time, sleep duration, number of exits, and bed exit time (lie-to-sit and sit-to-stand times) can be extracted. These features can be used by clinicians to assist in assessing the patient’s mobility. A floor tile based pressure sensor array is used to capture data while the patient stands still on it and shifts their weight. The data is processed and clinical information is extracted related to the patient’s static and dynamic balance. Key clinical features include weight balancing, center of pressure under the feet, and amount of sway, assist in assessing the patient’s standing stability and static balance. Average and maximum movement velocity measures can assist in assessing the patient’s dynamic balance. The thesis shows that pressure sensor arrays can be used to collect data unobtrusively and using specialized image processing algorithms, clinically relevant information can be extracted which can assist in assessing the mobility and stability of older adults.

title: Using a results-based organization design methodology to construct the technology innovation management review

abstract: This research used a constructive methodology to design an organization using a combination of organization design and results-based management approaches. Drawing upon the business ecosystems literature and practical experience, design principles were used to guide the design of the organization that produces and disseminates the Technology Innovation Management Review, a journal concerned with the issues relating to launching and growing technology companies. A logic model links the organization's activities to outputs and expected outcomes across multiple time scales. An integrated performance management framework tracks the organization's progress toward those outcomes and provides a mechanism to continuously improve the organization by feeding these results into new cycles of ongoing redesign. The results from the first six months of the organization's operation provide lessons and action items that demonstrate the potential of this approach for broader application.
