This activity focuses on developing a high-efficiency proof-of-concept prototype for a wireless energy transmission system. The objective is to utilize the technology for wirelessly charging multiple batteries in low power portable devices such as mobile electronics, e.g., personal digital assistants (PDA) and smart-phones. The system consists of two windings, transmitter and receiver, that are in […]

Les préformes textiles 3D sont de plus en plus utilisées pour fabriquer des pièces composites dans l’industrie aéronautique. Les métiers à tisser 3D de dernière génération ont la capacité de fabriquer des préformes à géométrie très complexe et avec une très grande précision. Le logiciel développé par le Groupe CTT pour contrôler ce type de […]

Le projet proposé pour l’été 2016 est lié à une division d’Agnico Eagle en Finlande (la mine Kittilä). Le gisement est un minerai d’or autour de 4 g/t. Son exploitation devrait se poursuivre jusqu’en 2035, ce qui en fait la mine présentant la durée de vie la plus longue de l’entreprise. Ses réserves d’or prouvées […]

Sensing technologies require the deployment and maintenance of complex and large infrastructures. This research proposal is focused on people’s activity recognition technologies though existing WiFi infrastructures. The information gathered by this technology can be applied to different industries like home automation, security, etc. In the future, this technology will powered applications in the home automation […]

Aqueous rechargeable lithium battery has received great attention recently due to the less toxicity, lower cost and higher safety compared to the non-aqueous systems. When using the commercially available lithium manganese oxide as active materials, there are demands in suppressing manganese dissolution and graphite consumption in the cathode. As a potential solution to achieve these […]

Over the past six and a half years we have developed a way to measure disease resistance in honey bees using a molecular diagnostic approach, similar to the tests done every day in hospital laboratories. We have then used this method to selectively breed bees that are, indeed, more resistant to disease. This is akin […]

Velan Inc. in Montreal, Quebec is one of the world leaders in design and manufacturing of industrial steel valves for applications in chemical, oil and gas, military, mining, and nuclear industries. Velan wishes to optimize its valve design in terms of maximum strength and minimum weight according to latest standard requirements. To achieve that, its […]

Color-based sensing enables sensors to be utilized in more places and by more people, particularly those who do not have access to or required training for sophisticated and expensive sensing technologies. This cost-effective sensing process is based on the change in an indicator’s color in response to the stimulation that is being sensed. This project […]

HMR-Canada has introduced magnetic liners for grinding mills that will improve the mill performance and efficiency. Mill liners have two main functions. First they protect the mill shell from wear and deliver energy to the material by lifting the material in a trajectory that creates the energy needed to break the rocks. Magnetic liners in […]

Customized image sensors will be designed by EnviroSen specifically for advanced microscopes used in biomedical imaging. The goal is to develop image sensors with improved efficiency, image resolution and speed compared to existing technologies for novel microscopes for fluorescence lifetime imaging. The McMaster Biophotonics group has recently developed a novel microscope that is capable of […]

Reliable communication over wireless channels has been an active research area for decades. By employing multiple transmit and receive antennas, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems increase the capacity of a wireless channel, bringing significant gain over single-input single-output (SISO) systems. One of the main tools to achieve the improved capacity are error correction codes. During the […]
