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 […]

Fortune Label is a family-run industrial label and packaging company that has operated in the Greater Toronto Area since 1995. The company is at a crossroads as it is trying to decide between two options (sell or scale). The Intern will be responsible for identifying potential customers and establishing first contact with those companies through […]

Mayana Geneviere (MG) hopes to grow and scale within today’s current commercial climate. To respond to disruption, MG has needed to pivot its business plan and strategy, which must be optimized through the project undertaken by the intern. This work involves researching potential markets for product launches, auditing processes for working remotely, and exploring new […]

The amount of emissions to the atmosphere is currently an important environmental concern as policy makers and Heads of State are starting to demonstrate a strong interest in energy efficient transportation, in particular energy efficient aircraft. However, current autopilot technology will often not take into account the energy used to perform a given maneuver which […]

Acrolab is in need of research and strategic business planning support to enable their operations to proceed successfully with expanding their product offerings within the aerospace sector. The objective scope of this project is to prepare research to support Acrolab’s business operations as it prepares to launch a new product within the aerospace industry. Within […]

Real-time weld monitoring system helps prevent the rejection of large portions of defective welds. It is likely that monitoring camera systems that work in infrared light may be able to reveal some weld defects better than the visible light cameras. The project goal is to perform a comparative experimental study on the ability of the […]

L’objectif de ce projet est d’étudier l’influence des conditions de déformation ainsi que les paramètres des traitements thermiques sur la taille de grain de l’austénite primaire, qui à son tour influence les propriétés mécaniques d’un acier à haute résistance mécanique produit par la compagnie Sorel Forge. La présence de plusieurs éléments d’alliage dans la microstructure […]

Ardra Inc. has sustainably produced many high-purity chemicals that are used for various flavor, perfume, and cosmetic applications. Combining industrial/business expertise provided by Ardra with academic/research skills provided by Dr. C. Perry Chou’s lab, we are aiming to effectively produce high-value heme compound using engineered E. coli host organism. Major efforts will be dedicated toward […]

C-Therm Technologies’ TCi Thermal Analyzer, measures quickly and non-destructively the thermal properties of liquids, powders, pastes and solids with very low conductivity and up to 120 W/mK. The TCi controller currently communicates with a single PC host using a limited resource 8 bit microcontroller. In this project we will investigate the firmware changes needed to […]

Monitoring of wildland fires through infra-red remote sensing has become increasing of interest to the wildland fire management community, and quality scientific analysis of the capabilities of such sensors is critical if they are to be used in any operational way. In 2019 a joint burning experiment was carried out over several days. In 2019 […]
