Wave View Imaging is developing a novel breast imaging device that uses microwave signals to create an image of the breast. The technology has significant potential to be used at point of care to monitor breast health. Wave View Imaging is actively exploring the application of monitoring neo-adjuvant therapy. This treatment approach is provided for […]

The proposed research project concerns the development of optimization tools and sizing methodologies used to assess optimal structural airframe configurations and aerodynamic lines for given business cases. A PDF intern will be in charge of proposing improved optimization strategies, mainly related to composite material, and of adding specific capabilities inside the internally developed sizing tool […]

Small plastic particles (microplastics and nanoplastics) are found in oceans, lakes, and rivers. Their effects on organisms and human beings are still unknown. Microplastics and nanoplastics found in the environment will be weathered, coated, and/or fragmented. Yet, the effects of these modifications on microplastic and nanoplastic removal during water treatment are yet to be thoroughly […]

3D printing has become a cornerstone technology for prototyping products during product development. However, the process is too slow for even small production runs. Pantheon Design in Vancouver has set out to increase the speed of extrusion printing by a factor of 10. To date, they have achieved a five-fold increase in print speed compared […]

The industrial scale manufacturing automation largely works because of robotic systems which are preprogrammed to reliably carry out the same sequence of steps over and over again. As a result, when scenarios change, or become more complex, robotic systems need to be re-programmed. Moreover, in high value added manufacturing applications, it is impractical to program […]

Energy demand is expected to grow by more than 30% of current rates by 2040. As the era of relying on fossil fuels as the dominant source of energy is coming to an end, alternative sources like bio-ethanol are gaining momentum as a potential commercial feedstock due to its renewable nature and wide availability. The […]

?Levis is currently developing and productizing an online Resource Management Software Suite (RMSS) that targets small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across numerous industries. There are similar products in the space of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), whereby an organization can manage their entire business with one software product. These software suites contain many modules such as […]

Several barriers continue impacting EV adoption, including vehicle driving range, cost, lifespan, and safety. These barriers are aggravated in extreme cold and hot climate settings due to the sensitivity of batteries and EV technologies to sub-zero and high temperatures (above 45°C). Partnering with Ford Canada, we will jointly develop battery thermal management innovations combining physics-based […]

Hydrogen is a promising vehicle fuel that emits no greenhouse gases at the end use and can be produced from a variety of renewable and low-carbon sources. However, to provide a useful vehicle range it has to be stored at very high pressures, with maximum pressures as much as 800 times atmospheric pressure. Fuel stations […]

The goal of the proposed research project is to improve the work productivity for the partner company (Ocean Steel) by identifying bottlenecks accurately in the steel fabrication workstations. This work included evaluating the current applied solutions in order to resolve the same problems encountered with Ocean Steel, which was done by conducting a literature review. […]

La transition énergétique vers des systèmes de propulsions électriques s’accélère. Les batteries sont aujourd’hui des sources d’énergie essentielles aux véhicules y compris les drones. Cependant, la densité énergique limitée des packs de batteries combinée à la forte demande mondiale de cette source d’énergie sont des facteurs qui empêchent le prix de réduire rapidement. Afin d’augmenter […]
