RF Characterization of High Frequency Channels for 5G Dense Indoor Small Cells

The NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures is a five-year partnership between Canadian industry, universities, researchers, research and education (R&E) networks, and high performance computing centres to investigate the design of future application platforms that will deliver software applications of greater capability and intelligence. These application platforms will be supported by an extended computing cloud, encompassing a virtual converged infrastructure and control software that also serves as a live testbed for exploring novel concepts in application-oriented networking, cloud computing, integrated wired/wireless access, and smart applications. Novel software applications will build on advanced services provided by the platform, including context, mobility, location, identity, social network, media recognition, and intelligence. The SAVI network will involve the academic community in the creation of new content and novel applications.
This MITACS proposal is to support a SAVI internship program that will strengthen the Canadian industrial base in information and communications technology through the preparation of highly qualified manpower with expertise in the design and operation of globally competitive ICT infrastructure and the creation of innovative and disruptive products, services, and applications.

Physical simulation of light sources for integrated photonics

The objective of this proposed project is to develop a prototype numerical simulation software that can simulate the physical processes inside semiconductor lasers and exchange information with a simplified compact model. The combination of these two models can better balance the trade-off between accuracy and simulation performance. The resulting integration will be suitable for studying issues arising from the integration of semiconductor lasers in photonic integrated circuits with 1000s of elements, which is a critical challenge for the next generation of optical communications devices. This work will be carried out as part of Lumerical’s R&D efforts focused on developing comprehensive physical simulation tools for integrated photonic systems. The developed software from this project will be integrated into Lumerical’s existing software to enable it of simulation of complete photonic integrated circuits.

Les effets de l’intelligence compétitive et de la capacité d’absorption sur la performance de l’innovation des PME québécoises

L’incertitude et la complexité de l’environnement externe incitent les entreprises, notamment les PME à performer en innovation afin de développer un avantage concurrentiel et de rester compétitives. L’innovation requiert des idées créatrices. Toutefois, la majorité des PME ne disposent pas de ressources suffisantes pour la recherche et développement ce qui rend sa survie difficile. L’intelligence compétitive peut combler ce manque de ressources par la collecte d’information pertinente au processus d’innovation. Cependant, les PME doivent être dotées des capacités et des compétences permettant d’aller au-delà de l’acquisition de l’information, rendant possible la conversion de l’information externe en connaissances utiles et applicables au processus d’innovation. Cette recherche vise donc à étudier les effets des processus d’intelligence compétitive et de la capacité d’absorption sur la performance de l’innovation au sein des PME québécoises. Les résultats visent la compréhension de ces liens afin de développer des recommandations en ce qui a trait à la performance de l’innovation pour Les PME québécoises.

Underwater Acoustic Channel Characterization for Ultra-Sonic Communication Applications

There is an increase in commercial subsea activity, as well as a growing need to monitor the health of our oceans and rivers. Remote sensors must be deployed underwater. Because of the high level of activity along the coast, in harbours, and even in rivers, the sensors are often deployed in shallow environments. To reduce the costs, small untethered nodes are preferable, and the remote data is transmitted to the surface via a wireless technology. In this work, underwater ultra-sonic communication is proposed to enable a short range telemetry link. A shallow water channel model will be developed, and will be used to predict the communication link reliability in specific environmental conditions. Further, channel coding will be applied to maintain a reliable communication link in a channel that suffers from multipath and Doppler spread.

Development of an Industrial Design Workflow to Incorporate 3D Scanning for Manufacturing Tooling Processes

Today’s modern industries aim at supplying premium quality products that can offer added performance value, lower weight, less environmental impact, decreased manufacturing and maintenance costs, increased durability and safety, and eventually higher customer satisfaction and market competitiveness. To achieve these goals, new-engineered materials such as glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRPs) are rapidly replacing traditional single materials such as steel and aluminum. The proposed MITACS research will develop best-practice engineering and management workflows to improve the efficiency, controllability and profitability of the polyester gelcoat and acrylic-coat glass-fibre reinforced polymer composite spray-up process, used in the manufacture of tub shower units at a leading composite manufacturer in B.C., Canada. Namely, research will focus on an emerging application of 3D scanning technology to accurately model and document GFRP moulds used in the tub shower manufacturing process, which have traditionally been ‘hand-made’ by senior technicians, and not based on a sustainable engineering approach

Running simulated networks in a public cloud environment

Ciena is a manufacturer and a provider of networking solutions. The company wants to be able to emulate the different software and hardware components in a very flexible way so that the emulation platform can be available to any user. The emulation allows the user recreate a networking environment to be able to know, beforehand, what the performance of the system will be. At the moment, CIENA has different emulation software that are mostly implemented in local machines but they plan to move the different components into the public cloud so that the emulation will be accessible anywhere. The move into the public cloud implies different research challenges such as nested virtualization and performance bottlenecks. The research that will be carried out in this project deals with those challenges arising when three different software platforms are considered. Three interns will be assigned to those platforms to emulate and carry out a thorough methodology that can provide an answer to those research challenges.

In-motion 3D Modeling and Image-based Metric Measurement of Vehicles using Laser Optics Technology

A laser-optics vehicle profiling system will be designed and developed in this project. The image of a laser line projected onto the surface of a vehicle from a vantage point will be used to make metric measurements on the vehicle and to develop a 3D model of it.
It is conjectured that this setup would work superior to the existing time-of-flight laser profilers in terms of accuracy, resolution, and speed of operation.
Multiple laser-optics scanners located at optimal locations in an inspection station can provide a panoramic 3D model of the vehicle and also provide measurements. This information can be used to identify over-loaded and/or over-size vehicles. It can be also used, in conjunction with the existing weight-in-Motion sensors, to measure the weight distribution over the large-vehicle axels.
The proposed technology and methodology will provide a non-intrusive complete inspection system that can be used widely in vehicle inspection stations all over the world.

Research on High-Performance Tree Differencing Algorithms

Metafor is developing a new class of IT system management solutions and as a part of this, wants a method to show differences between multiple deployed instances of an application. To implement this, Metafor requires an accurate, high-performance generalized tree differencing algorithm. Differencing algorithms are used for comparing different versions of a document or snapshots of data to find similarities and differences between them. Tree differencing algorithms perform differencing on hierarchical or tree-structured data. The goal of this project is to do a comprehensive survey and analysis of the recent research literature in the field of tree differencing and to develop an appropriate algorithm that would fit the best for the type of data Metafor is dealing with. In order to determine the appropriate algorithm, the performance of the algorithms will be evaluated based on running time, memory consumption and the optimality of the results.

Microfluidic-compatible photonic temperature sensor

This project will develop a temperature sensing and control system for microfluidic systems. Microfluidic systems are devices that can move and analyze small volumes of liquid for many applications, including health care applications. The temperature control system will be made up of several components. The first is essentially a thermometer. This thermometer will use an optical device which changes the amount of light transmitted depending on the temperature. This optical thermometer will not interfere with the microfluidic devices. The optical device will be made from plastic and will be integrated directly with the microfluidic system. The second part is a thermostat, which will control the temperature. This will be a control board external to the microfluidic device. ACAMP will benefit from additional functionality that they can offer to their clients. This temperature control system will improve the stability of the ACAMP’s microfluidic products.

Point of Care Testing for Food Safety: Development of Rapid Assays for Salmonella and Campylobacter

Food safety is a major concern and current approaches may take weeks to detect harmful bacteria that has contaminated food. This project involves the development of a rapid detection test kit to allow food processors to see if food has been contaminated by potentially harmful bacteria before the food is sent to market. The interns’ main objectives are to develop these rapid test kits working with our industrial partner. The kit will benefit food processors by finding contamination before food is shipped from their plants while the consumer benefit by having safer food. The benefit to our industrial partner is that this will lead to new technology for a Canadian company that can be used to sell these kits world-wide.

Nutritional and exercise recovery strategies to improve sports performance in young athletes – the need for protein

The purpose of this multi-project study is to investigate the effects of two different doses of protein supplementation following exercise training on muscle damage and inflammation, as well as on post-recovery exercise performance in young swimmers. Sub-project 1 examines whether whey protein supplementation following a training session enhances exercise performance and affects post-exercise muscle damage and inflammation. Sub-project 2 examines whether whey protein supplementation over a 10-wk training program affects body composition (muscle mass, adiposity), enhances muscle and sport-specific performance. Sub-project 3 examines whether whey protein supplementation during one week prior to a competition affects muscle damage, inflammation and performance in youth athletes. Swimmers in two developmental stages (before and around the age of the growth spurt) will be examined. The proposed research can lead to improved performance, and quality of life for Canadian athletes.
