This project explores how computer algorithms will be used to predict the intelligibility and quality of in-car speech processed by hearing aids. Hearing impaired listeners graded in-car speech for a set of conditions. The conditions include seating position of talker, seating position of speaker, levels of background noise, and hearing aid processing methods. Each hearing […]

The global competitive market requires products to meet the high customer satisfaction, low production cost and short development cycle. Product design searches for potential solutions of products to meet customer requirements based on design constraints and technical details. As a large number of possible concepts have to be explored in the design process, applying the […]

To maintain grain quality, grain drying is essential to turn the newly harvested grain from a high moisture content, high temperature and easily spoiled state to a safe condition for transportation or storage. Convection grain dryers are the most widely-used grain dryers around the world, however, the design of dryers nowadays is still mainly based […]

Products have to meet high customer satisfaction standards, low production costs in order to compete in the global market. Comparing with conventional production techniques, the additive manufacturing (AM) technology can construct complicated forms with more efficiency. In order to produce high quality 3D printed parts, the appropriate selection of printing parameters is crucial. Advanced parameter […]

Significant advances in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are driving the automotive industry’s transition to electrification. Canada’s expansive ecosystem of leading automakers, part manufacturers, research institutions, and skilled workforce are collectively well-positioned to further advance LIB technologies and overcome critical barriers that continue impacting electric vehicle (EV) adoption, including vehicle driving range, and battery lifespan and safety. […]

La ville de Joliette dispose d’un surplus d’énergie en période de faible demande et a mandaté l’entreprise Gestion D G Guibault de rentabiliser ce surplus d’énergie. Dans cette optique de maximisation économique, le promoteur a bâti une installation de minage de cryptomonnaies pour rentabiliser au maximum le surplus d’énergie. Le minage demande beaucoup d’énergie électrique […]

For 50 years, the aviation, automotive and sports industries have been trying to reduce the weight of their products by using composite materials to reduce energy consumption. However, composite structures are too expensive to manufacture and are sensitive to vibration. This project aims to develop a multi-material, 5-axis 3D printer that is capable of printing […]

As modern software is getting more complex, it is of great importance to ensure software reliability. Up to now, the most practical way of building high-reliable software is via a huge amount of testing and debugging. Therefore, software defect prediction, a technique to predict defects in software artifacts, has gained popularity by lessening the burden […]

Niobium (Nb) has properties that make it very attractive for high performance applications in space (e.g. rocket engines) and on earth (superconducting cavities used in particle accelerators), yet it also creates some particular challenges for the successful manufacturing of parts from it. The material is difficult to form into the complex shapes required for application. […]

The proposed project consists of creating a universal charging solution for different EV brands. Through this project, we test and evaluate several designs of our transmitter and receiver coil to achieve a wireless charging solution that provides flexibility for different types and brands of batteries and EVs. As a result of this project we identify […]

A new Magnetic Resonance Imager (MRI) design, Twin Slice TRASE MRI, will be verified. The new MRI design is suitable for use in space, on the Moon and in the Canadian north where the operating environments are extremely rugged and demanding. The design will be verified by modifying a basic TRASE MRI ankle-size prototype that […]

Currently, the building sector accounds of 36% of end-use energy consumption in Ontario. With the rise of appeal towards green energy, the government has focused greatly on developing sustainability policies. Additionally, Ontario has seen a rise in the equity-seeking communities’ population over the last few decades. Aknowlegding the success of sustainability policies is greatly depends […]
