The research project proposed here takes a radically new approach to on-vehicle electric power generation, with the potential for developing a scalable, flexible, and conceptually very efficient method without the need for complex mechanical off-take. The new method is called the Free-Piston Direct-Drive Linear Generator, a type of Rankine Cycle expansion engine. Excess thermal energy […]

behaviours within a given organization. This will allow to remedy and/or remove the counterproductive, and to enhance and enable positive behaviours, civility and engagement. The platform that will be developed is unique and distinctly not social feedback nor 360-degree feedback. The cloud-based systems that will be developed should detect, measure, map, correct, and sustain the […]

While touch screens have become the de facto user interface for cell phones, they do not provide any mechanical feedback to the user, unlike standard keyboards and computer mouse where we can feel the buttons springing back against our fingers. This, however, could be replicated through haptic technology, which can mimic various sensations through smooth […]

Two fundamental pillars of communications/communications networks are trust and truth; in particular, we must ensure that the message (or data) that a sender wishes to transmit does indeed reach the intended receiver without being altered or eavesdropped by an unwanted party. This project focuses on demonstrating one concept of the quantum internet. The quantum internet […]

This project addresses one of the challenges confronting Vertical Agriculture (VA): the acquisition of added-value data, their analysis and their transmission to enable VA to provide a steady production while minimizing its environmental impacts, manage its yield and allow for a better understanding of its inter-related component. As a starting point, strawberry production is looked […]

Transportation systems are evolving towards intelligent transportation systems and ISR Transit is a leading provider of these systems providing solutions in fleet management. In these systems, one of the enabling technologies is wireless sensor networks in which sensors are used to obtain information about the fleets. For example, sensors are deployed on motor, brake modules, […]

Lors de la réalisation de pâtes de boulangerie, les ingrédients de base sont mélangés dans de grandes cuves afin de créer un pâton qui sera ensuite mis en forme et cuit. Lors du mélange, les ingrédients se lient pour passer de poudres et liquides à une pâte épaisse et visqueuse. La température de la cuve […]

Everyday more than one million Canadians working in noisy environments are using Hearing Protection Devices (HPDs) to be protected against the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Together with the NSERC-EERS Industrial Research Chair in In-Ear Technologies (CRITIAS), the EERS Global Technologies Inc. has recently brought to market an innovative line of HPDs, enabling workers […]

Les produits phytosanitaires utilisés en agriculture, pour lutter contre les espèces nuisibles et les adventices sont devenus essentiels pour une agriculture performante. Cependant, la présence de ces composés (herbicides, insecticides et fongicides) dans les eaux est à prendre en considération en raison de leur toxicité potentielle pour l’homme, pour la faune et la flore du […]

Online multiplayer videogames are popular because most of their content is generated by interactions among players and thus extremely dynamic. Predicting players’ behaviour in these games is necessary to better design and maintain the game environment and to keep the players engaged in the game. These predictions are difficult because a player’s behaviour varies as […]
