In this project, we plan to address the specific problem that TeTechS Inc is facing at this stage of its product development project, which is collecting a complete set of measurement data for an array of organic materials with different levels of purity and demonstrate the capability of its proprietary terahertz sensing techniques to qualify […]

Considering the fact that software is deployed on open devices (such as PCs, tablets, smartphone, etc.), White-Box Cryptography (WBC) that protects security software is becoming an essential technology. In the software security industry, there is an ongoing research on new methods to perform WBC and, more specifically, to design data transformation algorithms that are robust […]

Bringing cloud computing from the Internet domain to Next Generation Networks (NGN) in order to provide Telco cloud services will leverage the use of NGN, reduce costs and create many value-added services. It is therefore becoming critical for world-class carriers, like Bell and Telus, to adopt a cloudbased communications model. However, unlike public Internet clouds, […]

Un système de traction à chenille pour la machinerie agricole est un mécanisme complexe composé de plusieurs joints, glissières et de matériaux déformables avec un comportement complexe (caoutchouc). Pour cette raison, Camso, fabricant de système de chenilles, utilise beaucoup les essais en laboratoire et sur terrain pour valider la fiabilité et la durabilité des pièces […]

This project will seek to use novel radar technology in addition to computer vision to remotely detect vital signs (Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Movement and Temperature) of multiple patients. This will help lead to decreased morbidity of patients in areas such as waiting rooms, hospital or police seclusion rooms and other unique environments such as […]

The proposed project involves the development of a fully automated system for municipal waste collection. We will develop a ruggedized vision-based control system and a truckmounted robot to pick up municipal waste containers and deposit their contents into the back of a standard waste collection vehicle. The solution is envisioned as an add-on for existing […]

Remote industrial installations and other areas requiring surveillance can be monitored effectively by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). UAVs are remotely operated, with on-board camera systems. Fixed camera systems are of limited use, because the field of view is limited to the direction in which the aircraft is flying, which continually changes as the aircraft […]

The amount of emissions to the atmosphere is currently an important environmental concern as policy makers and Heads of State are starting to demonstrate a strong interest in energy efficient transportation, in particular energy efficient aircraft. However, current autopilot technology will often not take into account the energy used to perform a given maneuver which […]

Les indicateurs d’accessibilité aux destinations permettent de mesurer la performance conjointe des systèmes de transport et d’aménagement du territoire. Bien que leur apport à une meilleure planification des transports ait été largement démontré, ils sont encore peu utilisés en pratique, étant donné les défis liés à leur opérationnalisation. Le projet proposé vise donc à développer […]

Thermo-photovoltaic (TPV) systems are optical heat engines that convert radiant heat to electricity using a photovoltaic cell. TPV is a highly promising technology that can potentially be used to generate electric power from any high-temperature heat source including concentrated solar radiation, industrial waste heat, heat from radioisotope decay, and fuel combustion systems. However, the performance […]

Oil production constitutes a significant portion of the world’s demand for sources of energy and raw materials for production of numerous daily-needed items. However, most of the currently producing oilfields are in their production decline phases with much of their oil left unproduced due to technical barriers. Sustained production of these underground resources depends on […]

Treating contaminated water is an energy intensive and costly process. Traditional methods such as biological reactors that require continuous aeration and temperature control, or chemically intensive disinfection processes are widely employed. These methods require addition of reagents and produce large amounts of sludge and hazardous byproducts. The development of more environmentally and economically sustainable treatment […]
