Artificial turf has various components that can be altered to change its mechanical properties, such as stiffness and traction. Research has shown that optimal values of these properties exist for athletes to perform optimally and reduce the risk of injury. However, the majority of research on sport surfaces has been conducted on adult male athletes, […]

Prime candidates for cleaner propulsion are the non-reciprocating combustion engines that combine high efficiencies of volumetric engines while being well-known for their high power density. Unfortunately, these engines are also well-known for their oil consumption that needs to be reduced before they are used for aerospace applications in order to meet customer perceptions, weight and […]

There has been a surprising increase in the demand for aluminum sheet primarily driven by the increased sensitivity to the negative environmental impact of plastic beverage containers, as well as the ever increasing demand to achieve substantive lightweighting of automobiles. Traditionally, aluminum sheets are made by casting molten aluminum into ~500 mm thick ingots through […]

As a leader in the production and use of renewable energy, Canada is committed to reducing its carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050. In addition, Canada will ban the sale of fuel-burning new cars and light-duty trucks from 2035. To reach this goal, it is very urgent to develop new energy […]

In this project we will develop an intelligent advertisement system for Bell. First, we try to better understand each customer’s preferences through the content they watch. In order to achieve this, we extract context attributes from the media content that a customer watches. The context attribute can be extracted by analyzing the video, audio, and […]

The proposed NBIF RIF project will establish a UNB Marine Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence (MAMCE) in Atlantic Canada. The focus of the centre is the marine and defence sectors with vision for global marine technology trend for 2030, which includes additive manufacturing, and advanced materials. MAMCE’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of metal […]

The goal of this partnership is to develop tools for multi-modal neuroimaging acquisition and analysis. Specifically, we propose to develop a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coil array to allow for sensitive functional MRI (fMRI) detection and minimal interferences to concurrently recorded electroencephalography (EEG). This setup will be used to record brain responses to complex and […]

It might be occurred to all of us to have a wearable healthcare device with endless battery life. Think now this will happen by a cloth equipped with the harvesting units to convert our body motions to electricity. In other words, while we are doing our daily routines, any body movement, such as bending the […]

The overall goal of this research project is to get a better understanding of what leads to footwear slipping, so as to contribute to the reduction of slip injuries, in three ways: a) by investigating how intrinsic sole design parameters (compound material properties and sole tread shape, width or depth) affect the available coefficient of […]

The integration of large-scale renewable energy sources in power grid is challenging and requires new power transmission infrastructure such as high voltage Direct Current (DC) transmission and interconnected AC-DC grids. Real-time power system digital simulators are essential for the development of new AC-DC grid technologies. The aim of this MITACS project is to develop numerically […]

As industry undergoes revolutionary changes with the integration of advanced controls, intelligent sensors and the machine to machine connectivity the limitations and expectations of autonomous systems are quickly rising. Well the autonomy of manufacturing robots is proving to be a key growth factor for efficient manufacturing, a new frontier is presenting itself. The next challenge […]

The project focuses on using novel method to maximize oil recovery. It is carried out through both experiment study in core scale and simulation research in field scale. The new knowledge that will be accrued will be the culmination of a truly collaborative approach. First and foremost, Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador will gain immensely […]
