Since its foundation in 2013, Exonetik has been developing and manufacturing magnetorheological (MR) actuator systems that enable novel functionalities to satisfy unmet customer needs. Exonetik’s patented actuators offer a unique combination of torque-density, high bandwidth, superior back-drivability, low-cost and aerospace-level reliability. To reach its ambitious goals, Exonetik has built several strategic relationships with major OEMs […]

The performance of an industrial electroplating line is evaluated using the First Pass Yield (FPY). Improving the FPY of an industrial electroplating line is complex and depends on lots of environmental and technical parameters. These parameters have different nature that makes it hard to assess the interaction between them and consequently to detect the causes […]

Scispot is on a mission to help life science companies including Canadian biotech companies automate and digitalize their lab processes while keeping track of all of their resources (samples, inventory, equipment, etc.). The goal of this project is to improve and grow our platform to support as many life science companies as possible. This project […]

Combining Building Integrated Photovoltaic / Thermal (BIPV/T) system and Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) with a thermal storage potentially can increase the efficiency of the heat pump and therefore reduce cost of heating and cooling for the building. In addition, this system potentially can reduce the GHG emission. A hollow core concrete floor can be […]

Electric vehicle adoption is well past the tipping point in Canada and the world, and although the demand for electric vehicles is no longer a question, the supply chain for electric vehicles is still very much in doubt. One key element is the ability to supply electricity to support the charging of the vehicles, and […]

Global warming is a well-known global phenomenon that has been in the headlines for the past few decades. Greenhouse gases (Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Carbon Monoxide, etc.) are the major contributors to global warming and several governments have been working towards limiting such emissions by introducing emission guidelines. Carbon Dioxide is the gas of interest in […]

Climate change is one of the most urgent and pressing issues facing society. In order to meet aggressive greenhouse gas emission targets, the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (known as Direct Air Capture, DAC) is required. However, once captured, the CO2 must be purified from the capture solution before it can be used […]

This research project will develop new methods for detecting space debris, communication signals, and moon dust equipped on spacecraft and satellites to be launched in the future. One of the major concerns with equipment orbiting Earth is the possible collision with space debris. Also, a lunar outpost equipped with the Canadarm3 is planned for completion […]

While electric vehicles (EVs) are generally viewed as non-polluting and environmentally friendly, EV utilization brings other concerns such as: range anxiety, battery charging issues, cost of electricity, and network overload. Furthermore even though EVs are better for the environment in comparison with the traditional vehicles powered with internal combustion engine, they are still vehicles on […]

This research will focus on direct-formed square and rectangular hollow sections (collectively referred to as RHS hereinafter) under combined compression and bending. The effects of the novel direct-forming approach on the beam-column behaviour of RHS will be quantified via experimental testing. The beam-column testing program will include RHS with material nominal yield strengths of 350 […]

Magnestar is developing the electromagnetic capabilities and an operator community application to enable space assets to work more efficiently, and sustain operations through solar flares, regolith contamination, signal interference and space debris collision to increase the longevity of asset life. This Mitac BSI project proposal is for the co-op students to assist in the innovation […]

Analysis of the best performing technologies will be conducted relative to the areas of buildingintegrated energy generation and storage of such energy at the building/community scale.Relevant product and other technological literature will be collected and various areas of performancewill be used for comparison. Such metrics of performance for generation/harvesting technology willinclude (but may not be […]
