The proposed project aims to develop an assistive device that helps mitigate crouch gait in people with Cerebral Palsy (CP) by integrating the Bionic Power Agilik system with a tuneable exoskeleton device to explore the optimal knee ankle foot orthosis (KAFO) parameters for ultimate clinical use of the Agilik. The exoskeleton device will enable more […]

Bitcoin! Ethereum! Cryptocurrency! Blockchain! In the past years, these words made headline news globally. The promise of blockchain, or decentralized ledger-based technologies, has electrified the world and created an excitement for technology that was last seen in the 1990s when the internet was entering mainstream. The core premise of the technology is that blockchains are […]

This project intends to use Canada’s rich forest fiber resources for the development of strong structural products, and improve the performance of cellulose-based products. Such high-performance cellulose-based products will be realized by binding 3D printed cellulose using the partner organization (National Silicates)’s sodium/potassium silicates products. The partner will also benefit significantly from this project as […]

The proposed project studies the noise sources of airplane high-lift devices (HLD) that are responsible for most of the aircraft noise at approach. The latter in turn creates noise nuisances that create health issues to populations close to large urban airports. Two approaches are followed. A state-of-the art simulation that predicts most of the turbulent […]

This project will investigate the timely problem of electrification of heavy-duty agricultural equipment and their various implements. Electrification of these critical pieces of equipment, either fully or partially, is poised to yield significant benefits such as improved efficiency, better reliability, and lower cost of operation. In order to design an electrified version of a complex […]

Over the past two years, the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has been the main global public concern affecting human health. A tremendous amount of personal protective equipment has been produced and used by the health service and every human. Hence, proper medical waste management becomes a critical problem which must be solved with a minimal environmental […]

The developed Nanobiosensor is based on electrospun nanofibres with a core-shell structure. The core of fibres is based on polyurethane, and the shell is based on polyurethane, polyvinylpyrrolidone, hemicyanine dye, surfactant and acid. The HCy dye (colorimetric probe) changes colour when bacteria secrete lipase. The lipase cleaves the ester bond of the HCy, and the […]

Offsite construction presents an alternative approach to traditional stick-built construction methods. This technique involves fabricating building components in an indoor offsite environment before transporting them to the construction site for installation. Offsite construction offers flexibility in terms of construction product types. In the manufacturing industry, the design-for-manufacture-and-assembly (DfMA) approach assesses the ease of assembly and […]

Oncoustics is a startup, focused on AI-based diagnostics and point-of-care ultrasound. Data collection and clinical partner site management are critical operations for Oncoustics as they play a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the ultrasound data collected. Clinical operation management and the resulting data collected are essential for conducting meaningful clinical research […]

AWL-Électricité travaille actuellement au développement d’un chargeur sans fil dans le domaine de la mobilité en utilisant une technologie de couplage capacitif résonant. Dans le but de manufacturer est d.’amener un premier produit sur le marché, AWL-E cherche à développer un Rectificateur de courent, et l’intégrer au produit présentement en développement. Le but est d’améliorer […]

Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical and smoking is still, to this day, the leading cause of preventable death. Several pharmacological strategies have been approved for smoking cessation and nicotine addiction treatment. However, these strategies are not always effective and lead more often than not to relapse. Hence, new nicotine cessation products and devices are […]
