Aerial drones have been seeing a rise in popularity in a variety of domains such as shipping, search and rescue operations, and photography due to their ability to carry cameras and other packages through trajectories that avoid ground obstacles or offer an advantageous vantage point, all while allowing the operator to remain at a safe […]

In this research project, our intern team, under the guidance of academic supervisor, will focus on developing advanced power electronics converters for harnessing ocean wave energy. This technology aims to efficiently convert the kinetic energy from ocean waves into usable electrical power, contributing to a sustainable and renewable energy future. By improving the performance and […]

Le génie cognitique allie des connaissances provenant de divers champs dont l’informatique, la robotique et les sciences humaines au sens large. Il s’intéresse particulièrement à l’interface et l’intégration entre l’humain et les diverses technologies qui peuvent améliorer son accès à l’information ou ses capacités. Le programme de psychiatrie neurodéveloppementale (PPNA) offre du support aux personnes […]

The goal of this partnership is to study several challenges related to locating objects in indoor environments, using Ericsson’s radio dot system (RDS), a system which has been designed to provide fast and reliable 5G cellular service inside buildings. The first direction involves locating and tracking a wireless transmitter, which will be accomplished based on […]

Pillar spalling, or thin slabs of rock falling off of pillar walls, is common along temporary pillars. This may happen adjacent to more permanent pillars which may then require scaling and supporting to maintain rock stability. Stresses induced in potash pillars can lead to this spalling and predicting this by measuring a stress change is […]

The intern’s project will consist of measurements of important plasma characteristics for confinement, such as ion/electron densities and temperatures. This will be done at Nihon University where they have a one-of-a-kind Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) collisional merging device. This device generates and magnetically-confines a plasma for the purposes of plasma fusion research and is an alternative […]

The project will provide drinking water systems using ozone/AOP, or planning to use ozone/AOP in the near future, to operate with the optimum ozone/AOP concentrations, pH during different temperatures for the effective removal of three cyanotoxins. The findings of the research project will provide the operation of drinking water systems with optimum operation procedures to […]

Wave View Imaging is developing a portable and comfortable breast imaging device using low power microwave technology. The project will consist in developing an extremely sensitive and fast hardware to enable the measurement of very low power microwave signal in a short time frame.

Ce projet de recherche tend à soutenir l’effort de recherche et de développement ainsi que de formation de personnel hautement qualifié de la Chaire de recherche industrielle en Biocarburants et Biocommodités de l’Université de Sherbrooke. Les objectifs de cette démarche tendent à faire avancer la recherche et le développement de pointe dans le domaine des […]

Policy planning is overseen by the City Planning Department Policy Planning Group with some projects handled by the Special Projects Planning Group. These groups oversee various policy tasks including incorporating Regional and Provincial Planning into the City’s Planning program, developing Official Plan and Secondary Plan policies and undertaking other policy work related to natural heritage, […]

The proposed research involves a partnership between researchers at Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario) and industry experts at Dynamic Structures (Burnaby, British Columbia). The primary objective of this research is to optimize the design of a rollercoaster vehicle bogie. Two goals are defined to be simultaneously achieved by the project: the minimization of both the bogie […]

The presence of steroid hormones in the environment is an emerging global issue. Steroid estrogens are of particular concern due to their toxicity to humans and aquatic life at low (ng/L) concentrations and their considerable presence in human waste streams. Standard treatment processes in municipal treatment plants often do not completely degrade estrogenic compounds, and […]
