La fabrication de pièces en acier de haute dureté et de hautes propriétés mécaniques pour différentes applications industrielles (pétrochimiques, moule d’injection de plastique, etc.) se fait par différents traitements thermiques. Ces pièces sont fabriquées par différents procédés et subissent une trempe. Les pièces peuvent être de différentes tailles et de formes diverses. Plus la taille […]

Over the air (OTA) test is the standard procedure for wireless devices to verify the transceiver and antennas performance together in specified conditions. Any wireless device such as tablets, phones and laptop must go under OTA testing. Furthermore, regulatory organizations require OTA testing before the wireless device being certified. Due to the time-consuming procedure of […]

More than 30% of the energy used in Canada is directed to control the indoor comfort conditions and to provide an adequate supply of conditioned ventilation air for buildings. For commercial buildings, 20 to 50% of the energy used may be used to condition outdoor ventilation supply air to maintain comfort conditions. Using commercially available […]

Our hand function can be affected by different diseases and disorders, such as arthritis and neurological injuries. Having limited hand function will immensely affect our life and will make everyday simple tasks challenging. There are about 1 million Canadians who reported struggling with daily activities due to this limitation. One task that is challenging for […]

Early detection of pathogen biomarkers such as E. coli is important for management of water bodies and agricultural farms. This information is invaluable to municipalities, provincial governments and private enterprises. Such information could have probably prevented the worst-ever outbreak of E. coli contamination in Bruce County, Ont. in 2010 where 2,300 people fell ill and […]

Wave surfing was traditionally restricted to oceans. Nowadays it is becoming more and more popular in rivers. Although there are some natural surfable waves in rivers, human constructions can provide waves even where they do not naturally exist. However, there is not enough academic support for design and construction of these waves. In this project, […]

The current project will focus on understanding the behavior of one of the most important CANDU reactor components when it is subjected to the reactor environment. This study will develop a fundamental understanding of the X-750 material’s behavior resulting in innovative technologies that benefit the nuclear industry in Canada. In the short to medium term […]

The research will develop an AI model driven by remote sensing data from a satellite, to identify the spatial variability of water pollutants present in lake water, to improve the understanding of the potential for algal blooms. With the development of the AI model, the use of remote sensing will be enabled to predict the […]

This project is composed of three sub-projects, all sharing the goal of improving cancer care operations. The first project aims to improve the scheduling of ambulatory clinics at Princess Margaret Hospital and Women’s College Hospital. Better scheduling will result in less overtime, improved utilization of shared resources, and increased patient satisfaction. The second project is […]

Boiler wall tubes are important components in boilers for safe and efficient operation. After service exposure, boiler wall tubes often require replacement or repair, in which new sections of boiler tubes are welded onto the old boiler walls. Following the repair welding, the code requires the boiler be hydrostatic tested before putting the boiler back […]

Cultural Heritage is the legacy of the past that needs to be protected and tarnsmitetd to future generation, its conservation makes part of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations Conservation. This proposal is focused on the development of a digital information platform for conveying the importance of conservation and protection of cultural heritage […]
