The project is to enhance the stability of the detachable solar tile panel connector in terms of conductivity and waterproof ability. The student will investigate other applications such as solar tiles for roof mounted applications and the current designs and prototypes developed by Square Solar. They will also develop a set of design requirements that […]

This project involves developing novel gripper mechanisms for Mantech that has faced issues with their robots. The first challenge is the need for having grippers (not pneumatic) that are robust and light. To solve this, we will develop (model, design, fabricate) a novel electromagnetic gripper that is equipped with tactile sensors to ensure perfect grasping. […]

This project involves work towards the development of a medical device meant to help people recover their movement abilities after a stroke. The device measures the part of the brain that controls movement, in order to provide feedback during rehabilitation exercises, as well as to help clinicians better understand the rehabilitation needs of patients. Specifically, […]

Traditionally, speech is captured from in front of the mouth. Existing an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) are all made to work with this type of speech. However, noise and other factors can be detrimental to the performance of ASR systems. When using an in-ear device that blocks the earcanal, a microphone can be placed inside […]

Battery and energy storage units are one of the main sources of backup power in modern power systems to support the renewable power generation deficiencies in meeting the load demand. In recent years, the advancements in the charge/discharge efficiency, low cost, and long life of super-capacitor energy storage (SCES) technology have challenged conventional battery technologies. […]

The pharmaceutical industry relies on a process known as batch manufacturing to supply their goods to the public. Each batch takes time to ends, involves many parameters and is very expensive. Quality tests are performed at the end of each batch. The calibration of parameters is a crucial task and Design of Experiment (DoE) is […]

Worksport has recently launched TerraVis®, a photovoltaic (PV), folding tonneau cover, that stores solar energy into a bed-mounted Lithium batteries. The solar tonneau cover will incorporate high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels whose cells are modular, so any dead ones can be swapped out. A battery bank installed in the bed will house modular Li-ion batteries that […]

Due to the fast mobility of LEO satellites, ground users need to switch between LEO satellites frequently to keep the connection with the satellite network. The process of switching between satellites is called the handover process. Every handover process is associated with signalling overhead, processing delays, and data packet losses. The optimization of the handover […]

The Flu annually causes hundreds of thousand peoples’ death and has brought an enormous loss in Canadian economy. SARS-CoV-2 has strictly reduced the global economic development, and also affected the regular traveling and daily life in Canada. As we know, the influenza and SARS-CoV-2 share the similar symptoms in many aspects. Developing a rapid and […]

La plupart des travaux actuels sur la détection des intrusions se concentre sur la détection et l’analyse des attaques. Peu de travaux ont été réalisés sur l’analyse du comportement des attaquants eux-mêmes. Ce type d’analyse, appelée attribution, est important car il permet de remonter à la source de l’attaque, caractériser l’intention et répondre adéquatement à […]

Industries using fossil fuels as their energy source are contributing to global warming as the required energy for their processes is supplied by combusting fossil fuels. CO2, a greenhouse gas, is a products of combustion. Using electricity generated by hydropower as the heat source may eliminate CO2 emission. One of the commercially available electric heaters […]

Modern smartphone cameras commonly employ multi-image (or burst photography) for tasks related to image super-resolution and high-dynamic-range imaging. This project is focused on developing novel multi-image techniques that leverage the power of recently proposed neural implicit functions. Neural implicit functions (NIFs) are a new way to represent images not as a 2D grid of pixels […]
