The goal of this project is to research and develop a model that is suitable for BC Hydro’s application to predict the sag of a power transmission line from its induced frequency response. Transmission lines always elongate over time due to the temperature of the conductor. The ability to monitor and obtain the shape of […]

  Digital microscopy is an emerging field of research, especially as pathology, a clinical field that involves routine use of the microscopy, is the last standing field to go digital in medicine. Digitizing pathology reduces the cost and time of pathology analysis, improves patient care, and allows pathologists to diagnose from anywhere. The goal of […]

A cradle is a separate structure from automotive chassis, which is used to support the powertrain and suspension system. With the application of cradle structure, the noise and vibration transmitted to passengers will be reduced and the stiffness of attachments will be increased. In other words, the riding comfort and the product reliability are improved. […]

The project is focusing on developing a silica breccia product having a superior reactivity that allows this product to be used widely as an alternative supplementary cementing material in cement mixtures. The new developed silica breccia product will be tested for effectiveness as a supplementary cementing material based on the Canadian Standard Association (CSA) test […]

  The project aims to establish new design methods and digital signal processing techniques allowing robust and efficient universal navigation and communication equipment in the fields of aeronautics and aerospace. New avionic standards are under study and strong arguments exist for the adoption of software defined radios at this point of time. The project anticipates […]

  A certain number of newborn babies may suffer from infection. Many of such infections go unnoticed but may have negative effects on child's health. There is currently no satisfying means to detect such babies early on. We have learned that using information contained in fetal heart beats we might better predict if a yet […]

  CrossWing Inc. has been developing a service robotics platform called VirtualMe, which is a multifunctional mobile robot base that can be configured for many applications. CrossWing is attempting to have the VirtualMe used as an interactive guide/mascot for convention settings. The goal of this project is to develop autonomous navigation capabilities for VirtualMe that […]

  Future wireless networks call for seamless coverage and higher data rates at low infrastructure cost. Cooperative relaying strategies are among the most promising of future technological solutions toward achieving this goal. The proposed research project intends to evaluate the system-level performance of a specific relaying architecture called the shared relaying network. To quantify the […]

Onshore and offshore pipe systems may be subject to loading events that result in mechanical responde exceeding the material strength. There are technical and economic incentives for developing non-conventional, higher strength materials for use in long distance, large diameter and high pressure transmission pipeline systems. There exists uncertainty on the key factors influencing the mechanical […]

  SemBioSys Genetics, Inc is active in the production of recombinant, pharmacologically active proteins using the seeds of the safflower plant. The purified product is associated with oilbodies derived from the seed. In this project, the intern will perform research on a novel encapsulation technology for functional food. The technology is aiming at encapsulating a […]

A Place to Reflect and For Every Second in Time are a pair of interactive art installations that will make use of projection technology and interactivity. A Place to Reflect will debut at Nuit Blanche contemporary arts festival in Toronto and For Every Second in Time is slated for Toronto in 2012. Through the development […]

  This project aims at designing and implementing an integrated control system for an audio power  amplifier system for portable devices, having good efficiency and sound quality. The proposed design controls a DC-DC converter to produce a varying power supply to a class AB output stage. The varying power supply tracks the input audio signal […]
