This proposed research aims at developing a fully automated computerized system for multiple spinal disease diagnosis. It improves the efficiency of the current clinically workflow. The development of the research is based on the state-of-the-art computer vision and image processing techniques. To the best of our knowledge, our group is the first group focusing on […]

Precision agriculture practices increase productivity while rationalizing farm inputs. It mitigates the adverse impacts of chemical inputs on the environment. The variable rate is one of the commonly used precision agriculture practices where inputs are applied based on site-specific needs. CropPro Consulting uses soil properties like electrical conductivity, topography, and water flow patterns to generate […]

The main goal of this project is to develop a platform that helps to optimal design of a power converter for switch reluctance motors. The research will focus on multi-domain models and multi-objective optimization routines. Due to the high complexity of developing such a tool, the component models will include loss, thermal, and cost aspects, […]

Hearing loss individuals face apparent as well as subtle, systematic, and safety challenges every day in a world predicated on hearing. Traditional hearing assistive solutions are not readily available in some environments. Hence, Lisnen is exploring opportunities to leverage available tools, such as mobile devices, to act as a hearing assistive device to provide situational […]

The demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is on the rise, mainly due to increased interest in portable devices, electric vehicles and grid-storage applications. The key component in such rechargeable batteries is lithium, which is trivial from the name itself as well, as lithium-ions shuttle back and forth during charging/discharging process. Consequently, lithium production demand has […]

Le présent travail de recherche vise à élaborer une analyse fonctionnelle technique pour un système de pompage constitué de plusieurs stations en réseau dans un environnement informatique spécifique dénommé SCADA appliqué aux stations de pompage d’eaux usées. Une synthèse bibliographique sera réalisée sur les études antérieures et les systèmes utilisés pour l’optimisation du fonctionnement des […]

Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) consists of adjusting irradiation at each treatment phase in response to changes in the patient’s body (such as weight loss) or from the patient’s change in position. Indeed, since initial dose plans are determined from standard CT, the initial dose distribution may vary and yield sub-optimal dose delivery. Intra-procedural imaging such as […]

Ekona Power Inc is developing a technology to convert natural gas into H2, electricity and a pure CO2 stream. The CO2 stream will them be removed using underground carbon sequestration. Their approach uses two processes. The first uses pyrolysis to convert natural gas to hydrogen and solid carbon. The second uses a fuel cell to […]

Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) will be essential in developing and monitoring Canada’s territories. This is in part due to a lack of suitable human pilots due to skill shortages and difficult conditions making recruitment difficult; there are also “dull, dirty and dangerous” aspects of the missions that make a remote pilot operation safer. Miniaturization, […]

Snoring during sleep is common and is sometimes indicative of a mechanical impediment to breathing. The condition, called high upper airway reSistance, is thought to be relatively common affecting roughly 15% of the population. It is characterized by complaints of day1ime fatigue and/or sleepiness and is associated with a myriad of disastrous effects on a […]

The Ontario Dental Association requires the time of three hours between two clients in a dental office to prevent the transmission of COVID-19; however, this strict guideline poses a great challenge to the economics of dental business and the recovery of Ontario economy. The results of this study will help understand the COVID-19 transmission in […]

In the era of big data, internet of things and cloud computing, the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth density causes a bottleneck in inter and intra-datacenter communication systems. Optical integrated circuits based on the silicon-on-insulator platform is a well-known solution to overcome the bottleneck in data rate transmission. It is an interesting platform as it can […]
