The structural integrity of mine tunnels is critical to worker safety as failures (e.g. rock falls) can cause injury or death. This project aims to determine whether it is feasible to automatically evaluate the safety of side walls in potash mines using the sound produced when the wall is struck by a metal bar. Previous […]

The Canadian tool, die and mold making industry had sales of $1.2 billion in 2002 that dropped by 40+% in the ensuing decade as manufacturing moved offshore in search for lower labor cost. Trade tensions, conflicts (Ukraine/Russia; Taiwan/China etc.), COVID pandemic and accompanying supply chain disruptions, increase in labour cost overseas, improved automation technology and […]

Le développement de revêtements à deux composantes nécessite l’ajout d’autres produits couteux afin d’augmenter leur adhérence à la surface du substrat. Ce projet de recherche portera sur le développement de nouveaux revêtements qui aura une meilleure adhérence sans ajout d’autres produits. Cela permettra à SophiChem Inc. de diminuer les couts de production de ses revêtements […]

The goal of this partnership is to study several challenges related to locating objects in indoor environments, using Ericsson’s radio dot system (RDS), a system which has been designed to provide fast and reliable 5G cellular service inside buildings. The first direction involves locating and tracking a wireless transmitter, which will be accomplished based on […]

Premier Tech Producteurs et Consommateurs, un groupe d’affaire de Premier Tech, souhaite débuter l’implantation de pensée cycle de vie dans son processus d’innovation de produits. L’étudiant stagiaire devra collaborer et supporter les équipes de travail dans l’avancé des différentes analyses de cycle de vie par la récolte des données associés et par la participation aux […]

Psychedelic mushrooms have recently gained increased interest from the medical community due to promising results in treating various mental health disorders. Health Canada has allowed material to be provided through the special access program (SAP). However, all material must be produced under good manufacturing practices (GMP) to ensure safety and efficacy, but there is little […]

Wave View Imaging is developing a portable and comfortable breast imaging device using low power microwave technology. The project will consist in developing an extremely sensitive and fast hardware to enable the measurement of very low power microwave signal in a short time frame.

The proposed research involves a partnership between researchers at Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario) and industry experts at Dynamic Structures (Burnaby, British Columbia). The primary objective of this research is to optimize the design of a rollercoaster vehicle bogie. Two goals are defined to be simultaneously achieved by the project: the minimization of both the bogie […]

The project will accomplish the goal of transferring the academic knowledge in synthesis of tunable plasmonic nanoparticles developed at Wilfrid Laurier University to Nicoya, the company developing advanced instrumentation based on plasmonic sensing using metal nanoparticles. The developed nanoparticles will be tested, and fine-tuned, if required, to satisfy all the criteria required for their industrial […]

La detection d’objets est une tache complexe en vision par ordinateur car elle vise a la fois a etablir la localisation et la classification d’objets dans une image. Cette tache devient plus difficile lorsqu’elle est etudiee sur des images capturees par des cameras munies de lentilles « grand-angle ». Ces lentilles offrent des champs de […]

The purpose of this project is to offer low-cost navigation solutions for autonomous vehicles based on automotive radars that can work efficiently in all weather conditions and degraded vision environments. Radar will be utilized to estimate the vehicle’s relative position. The radar solution will be integrated with the inertial navigation system (INS) solution to limit […]

The dairy cow industry is a significant contributor to emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane because of anaerobic fermentation that occurs in every cow’s forestomach. The proposed research aims to contribute to development of dietary strategies to reduce methane emissions from dairy cows by at least 50% without affecting wellness markers and lactation performance.
