Future cellular systems must accommodate increasing demand for very high throughput and low latency data services. Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) approach involving base stations equipped with much larger numbers of antennas than the numbers of users served promises to significantly increase network capacity, while nonorthogonal multi-carrier transmission is expected to dramatically reduce the latency. Integration […]

This project will support the commercialization of TurnCO2, a clean technology startup developing a low-cost carbon capture system designed specifically for craft and mid-sized breweries. Breweries produce large amounts of CO2 during fermentation, but most of it is released into the air while they continue to buy expensive, externally sourced CO2 for packaging and carbonation. […]

Permeation of CO2 gas through the inner layer in multi-layer fiber reinforced pipes (FRPs) destructively reduces pipe durability. FRPs generally consist of three or more layers of polymer and reinforcing fibers. Gas permeation thorough the polymer layer and its accumulation in reinforcing layer leads to pipe failure during depressurizing cycles. Using clay nano-platelet can lead […]

The ultimate goal of this project is to detect and localize leaks in pipelines in real time. Hifi Engineering has developed distributed fiber optic sensors. Measurements are obtained at evenly spaced intervals along the pipeline (called channels). This project aims to develop data processing tools to improve leak detection and localization. Many events occur along […]

We propose the construction of novel ultrasound transducer structures based on existing MEMS technology that has been in development through collaboration between Micralyne and Prof. Roger Zemp. We will be exploring linear array transducers intended for medical imaging, and individual transducers for automotive use for ultrasound range finding. We will undertake the design, modelling, fabrication, […]

Hydrogen (H2) offers a strategic opportunity for Canada’s energy transition and more broadly is viewed as an essential part of the global solution to reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change. Industry, governments and research agencies at regional and national scales are looking at the feasibility of H2 hubs that incorporate local logistics for H2 […]
