Continuous miner (CM) optimal performance depends upon various factors which controls the rock-bit (cutter) interaction, including the type and geometry of the bits (cutters), operational parameters (drum speed, advance rate and etc.) and geological setting of the target rock. According to the conducted investigation on CMs performance at Goderich mine, although, these machines have improved […]

With the advances in the technology and shrinkage of the device sizes, many new challenges have been introduce in the design process of electronic devices. Therefore, the designers are required to spend so much time and effort and go through several cycles of design and test to tackle these challenges. This is even more serious […]

L’exposition au bruit ambiant en milieu urbain a des effets néfastes sur la santé et le bien-être des populations selon l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé. Parmi les sources de bruits, ceux engendrés par les aéronefs figurent souvent en tête de liste dans les grandes métropoles. Dans cette optique, Bell Textron Canada Limitée (fabricant d’hélicoptères) en […]

Plasmonic catalysis is an emerging technology which holds the promise of utilizing light to facilitate a chemical transformation. Plasmonic materials interact with incident light through the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonance producing highly energetic electron-hole pairs. These hot electrons and holes are very active and get adsorbed to the materials in their surroundings through […]

The workplace is evolving at the frontier, people and machines work side by side. In factories and industries, the trend for the past two-hundred years has been to provide mechanical devices to assist in manual labour. The benefit for people is that workplaces are more equitable and accommodating to people with disabilities. The future will […]

This Mitacs project is a demonstration project through which four small residential homes will be printed in the Windsor-Essex region. This project will be the first construction project in Canada where 3D printing technologies will be used to build residential homes. These homes will be built by Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex for low-income families and […]

Traditionnellement, la nuisance sonore a toujours été une problématique au coeur de l’aviation moderne avec l’avènement du turboréacteur. De plus, l’apparition de nouvelles technologies comme les drones ou les taxis volants urbains avec des hélices multiples ne fait qu’accentuer la part prépondérante du bruit généré par les machines tournantes dans les moyens de transport aériens. […]

The objective is to develop models that can identify types and frequency of process inefficiencies that may eventually result in the decline of production at the mills below a certain threshold level. The outcome of this project is an early detection of process inefficiencies that will enable the operation team to predict production outcomes ahead […]

Ce projet traite le défi de simulation collaborative d’un modèle de réseau électrique qui comporte plusieurs composants hétérogènes, tels que les RÉD (Ressources Énergétiques Décentralisées), les VÉ (Véhicules Électriques) et les automatismes numérisés selon le standard CEI 61850. Puisque l’intégration de ces éléments complexifie le modèle simulé de réseau électrique, l’idée est de les intégrer […]

Hybrid organic–inorganic halide perovskites nanocrystals (HPNCs), such as CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I), have recently experienced extraordinary development in optoelectronic applications due to their promising optical and electrical properties. Although most investigations have been mainly focused on improving and optimizing photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors efficiencies of HPNCs, there is great interest and potential […]

The goal of the broader Alliance submission is to develop a technology platform to test and benchmark best practices, policy recommendations, and regulations for the safe and reliable operation of automated UAVs during ground-based BVLOS (Beyond the visual line of sight) missions in urban areas, using 5G networks, a first in Canada. The Mitacs internships […]

Malgré les efforts consentis par l’industrie agroalimentaire, le contrôle de la qualité et de la salubrité des aliments demeure un enjeu incontournable pour garder sa place dans le marché et protéger la santé des consommateurs. Pour cela, les entreprises doivent contribuer aux efforts de recherche et d’appliquer des bonnes pratiques industrielles afin de répondre aux […]
