The TX3-Touch series telephone entry systems, designed by Mircom Technologies Ltd., provide primary resident/visitor access control for buildings. This system allows building residents to communicate with visitors and grant or deny entry to them into the complex. The communication is essentially based on voice telephony. The aim of this project is to design and develop a […]

  This project involves the optimal aerodynamic design of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), making use of stateoftheart computational fluid dynamics and aerodynamic shape optimization techniques. The algorithm development will focus on modeling and exploiting laminarturbulent transition in the optimization cycle. The project should result in new and significantly improved aerodynamic shape optimization tools. This has the potential […]

  The proposed MITACS project is intended to be a vital component of a manual wheelchair simulation project at Toronto Rehab’s CEAL Laboratory, which will re-create the experience of navigating the built environment with a wheelchair. Specifically, the internship will focus on the design and fabrication of a novel wheelchair interface that provides a person with force-feedback at […]

  The question of optimizing health care resources in developed countries has recently increased in importance. The aging population and the accompanying increase in old-age diseases such as cancers, diabetes, heart disease and others are expected to increase the strain on the resources of health care systems. However, since the cost of curing many diseases […]

  Our objectives are to research, develop, test, and implement: 1. New yield curve construction and smoothing algorithms and improvements to standard curve construction algorithms, in particular, that are better adapted to illiquid markets such as Mexico, Israel, etc. 2. We seek fully automated real-time curve construction algorithms, which will allow for traders to use and data vendors to […]

  The intern, along with his collaborator will explore both theoretically and empirically models of influence over social networks, recommendation systems of online content for users in social networks. Additionally, the intern will study various different ways to cluster and group the content of networks such as Twitter in an automated fashion. Additionally, the intern […]

  A very important phase in aircraft design is the aerodynamic design of the wing and various other components; wing-body fairing, tailplane, etc. With today’s computer power and progress in algorithm development, the design is made through complex mathematical models which are amenable to automatic optimization. An industrial adjoint-based three-dimensional viscous optimization framework, developed at […]

  This project will be addressing the long-wait times that Alternate Level of Care (ALC) patients endure to go to another facility when they no longer require acute services but require another form of care. A simulation model will be produced to show the flow of the patients from surgery exiting the acute-care facility. The […]

In this project, we consider a biometric authentication scheme as a beneficial and alternative approach for traditional cryptographic authentication systems. Our goal here is to design the component of a biometric authentication scheme, such that the leakage information about the biometric template and  the related secret key to the person who has access to the […]

This research project is responsible for the design, development, and experimentation of the actuation and control systems for the synchronized segmentally interchanging pulley transmission system, SSIPTS. SSIPTS is a novel variable mechanical transmission that offers the combined benefits of existing transmission systems for both automotive and wind industries. To ensure high reliability at the high […]

IBM CAS Research Canada has created the Personal Web initiative, a new form of web interaction that is user-centred, restful, and fueled by understanding of personal context and semantics. This project will apply the principles of the Personal Web to the problem of clinical decision making, utilizing the powerful data analysis capabilities of IBM SPSS […]

Recently introduced micronized copper wood preservative system has successfully captured most of the treated wood market in the USA; however, it cannot be acceptable in Canada because the wood surface is mottled and streaky in appearance when it is applied to Canadian wood species (spruce-pine fir). This problem may be solved by partially solubilizing copper […]
