Metal additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D Printing, is a technology that produces three-dimensional metallic parts layer by layer as opposed to conventional subtractive techniques. The qualities of 3D parts are significantly influenced by the characteristics of the feedstock materials, which depend on the manufacturing processes and also vary between batches. Powder pack density […]

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease affecting over 80% of the human population above 75 years old and burdening health organizations worldwide. Osteoarthritis is characterized by progressive joint degeneration resulting in chronic pain and loss of joint function.

Various industries and warehouse operations often need free-standing jib cranes to be installed on the floor. Industrial floors typically consist of unreinforced or very lightly reinforced concrete slabs poured directly on the ground which may not have sufficient strength to support the crane. Improper design may result in severe cracking which raises concrete durability issues […]

This project quantifies the benefits of investing in water and tailings technologies in financial terms in order to identify contextual environments wherein water-related savings make the most economic sense. The outputs of this project will be […]

In this project, we plan to address the specific problem that TeTechS Inc is facing at this stage of its product development project, which is collecting a complete set of measurement data for an array of organic materials with different levels of purity and demonstrate the capability of its proprietary terahertz sensing techniques to qualify […]

The overarching goal of this project will be to strengthen organic, and possibly paid, traffic to build company credibility and generate leads for the sales pipeline by developing an online presence within the B2B manufacturing market prior to a Merger and Acquisition. The project will include website development, Search Engine Optimization, User Experience maximization, as […]

Un système de traction à chenille pour la machinerie agricole est un mécanisme complexe composé de plusieurs joints, glissières et de matériaux déformables avec un comportement complexe (caoutchouc). Pour cette raison, Camso, fabricant de système de chenilles, utilise beaucoup les essais en laboratoire et sur terrain pour valider la fiabilité et la durabilité des pièces […]

Iron is required for the growth of all animal cells, being necessary for the proper function of diverse enzyme systems and the expression of certain genes, as well as for the production of oxygen radicals that function as signal transduction intermediates and help defend against microorganisms. Interestingly, preliminary findings indicate that both mouse and human […]

Remote industrial installations and other areas requiring surveillance can be monitored effectively by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). UAVs are remotely operated, with on-board camera systems. Fixed camera systems are of limited use, because the field of view is limited to the direction in which the aircraft is flying, which continually changes as the aircraft […]
