CENGN (http://www.cengn.ca/ ), the Center of Excellence in Next Generation Networking, is a newly formed tri-council funded center of excellence for commercialization and research (CECR) that will bridge the gap between research and commercialization, which is critical to building successful startup companies. CENGN is a consortium of industry, academic and research leaders who are putting […]

Internal combustion (IC) engines are widely used in the world and in the following decades, it will remain the major source of transportation power. However, the emissions of IC engines, are demonstrated have negative impact on the human health as well as the whole environment. Hence, stringent emission norms are continuously imposed on IC engines. […]

Vaccine industry is evolving towards more efficient manufacturing systems. Adenovirus vectored vaccines are among new promising approaches for more efficient vaccines design and production. Recombinant Ad (rAd) can be used as gene deliver vector carrying different antigens for delivery into Ag-presenting cells (APC) eliciting a targeted immune response. Alternatively, antigens can be exposed on the […]

Existing techniques rely on conventional techniques, which are insufficient and do not ensure increased and optimal utilization of freely available PV energy. We propose predictive energy management and preventive maintenance through monitoring system for PV systems, taking futuristic PV potential and weather forecasts into account in association with the operational parameters of the PV system. […]

As future IoT infrastructure generates massive data in excess of exabytes, a unified architecture to handle Big Data is highly essential. Development of unified Big Data processing architecture for IoT infrastructure will provide a scalable and standard solution that addresses the problem of continuous increase in the volume of Big Data. Cloud networks provide necessary […]

This project will review water source alternatives for the Husky Lloydminster Upgrader Complex. These alternatives will be evaluating in terms of their relative economic, technical, social and environmental risks. The framework developed will provide a basis for conducting similar water risk assessments for other operations. The interns will research alternatives, risks, and develop the assessment […]

Le développement des fonctions qualité (DFQ) est un outil qui guide les équipes de conceptions de produit en tenant compte des besoins de l’usager. Dans le domaine de l’ergonomie, l’utilisation de cet outil est encore très peu documentée. Le projet consiste à documenter l’utilisation du DFQ dans un projet d’amélioration de l’ergonomie d’un produit. Le […]

The proposed project aims at the design and implementation of low complexity digital pre-distortion (DPD) algorithms for concurrent multiband wireless transmitters. The power amplifier (PA) is one of the major sources of power dissipation in wireless base stations. The DPD techniques enable the PA to operate in higher power levels where it has its highest […]

They also deal in many other products such as escalator safety brushes, urethane rollers and engineered polymer products and are continuing […]

MakerBloks is a creative solution to introduce children to the world of electronics. Our first products, MakerBloks, are small, reactive, color-coded building block that allows the user to learn and build electronic circuits without any technical background. In order to bring electronics learning to a new level of interactivity, MakerBloks want to develop a block […]

A novel transmitter architecture which presents more power efficiency than that of the transmitters being used currently in mobile communication base stations is proposed in this research project. The result of this research fills the gap between the theoretical idea behind this transmitter structure and its practical usage in cellular network base stations. This transmitter […]

To support research and practices that aim to analyze and improve traffic systems, accurate traffic state estimation is required, which is usually based on ground truth data obtained from monitoring infrastructures. The most common way to monitor traffic nowadays is by using inductive loop detectors, the costs of which are too high to be used […]
