FORCE uses hydroacoustic echosounder surveys to evaluate the impact of tidal turbines on marine animals in the Bay of Fundy. FORCE use Echoview software to read in the raw sensor data (e.g. voltages) and convert it to a visual representation. Echoview contains some algorithms to detect the bottom of the ocean. However, the FORCE hydroacoustic […]

Les dépenses d’investissement en capitaux d’une entreprise manufacturière représentent un secteur important du développement industriel : les acquisitions, le développement de marchés, la recherche, ou l’ajout de lignes de production dans une entreprise transnationale, s’accompagnent souvent, en effet, de flux de capitaux et de main d’oeuvre importants. À partir de différentes sources de données démographiques […]

Pour faire face aux changements fréquents dans leur environnement externe, les PME manufacturières sont appelées à effectuer régulièrement des virages numériques leur permettant l’adoption et l’intégration des nouvelles technologies. Pour relever ce défi, elles ont besoin de développer des capacités technologiques leur permettant de mieux gérer leurs ressources et de les rendre plus disponibles aux […]

The main objectives of this one-year study are to enhance systems in data management and integration in three ways: 1) create secure networks that can support BYOD; 2) create a data pipeline system for ETL; and 3) integrate ML content generation into a content management system. An Agile methodology will be used to plan and […]

L’objet de cette recherche est d’améliorer la sûreté de fonctionnement des transformateurs de puissance en développant des méthodes de surveillance, de modélisation, de diagnostic et d’estimation de durée de vie. L’analyse par réponse en fréquence doit faire l’objet d’une étude approfondie puisqu’elle peut conduire à l’identification d’un modèle électromagnétique fiable du transformateur. L’utilisation de ce […]

Fungal pathogens of agriculturally significant crops pose a serious threat against global food security. This is exacerbated by the limited classes of fungicides that are commercially available for the farmers and the rapid emergence of resistance against the existing fungicides. Furthermore, resistance against agricultural fungicides can poses serious threat to human health as it can […]

Comme les limiteurs de courant de court-circuit supraconducteurs sont appeh~s a jouer un role ch~ dans Ie futur des reseaux d’energie electrique. Cependant, leur design requiert des outils de simulation numerique sophistiques, qui ne sont pas accessibles presentement. Ce stage MtTACS, couple a un projet de recherche MITACS de plus grande envergure, vise a mettre […]

With this project, Nuvoola will propose a whole new process of detection, identification and monitoring of people in its entirety from embedded algorithms within an “EDGE” computer system, with a view to performance, and reliability and precision. The innovation lies in the ability of the application to perform a face and body combination while taking […]

Cori Disease and SRD5A3-linked Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG) are two rare and fatal metabolic disorders for which there are no cures or therapies. Both conditions result in early-onset developmental delays, greatly hinder quality of life, and result in a rapid degeneration of motor functions. Due to their rarity, research into these conditions is lagging […]

Since 2013, Exonetik has been developing and manufacturing magnetorheological (MR) actuator systems that enable novel functionalities to satisfy unmet customer needs. Exonetik’s patented actuator systems offer a unique combination of force-density, high bandwidth, superior back-drivability, low cost and aerospace-level reliability. Since 2016, Exonetik has been working with major companies in the automotive industry such as […]

Chitin is an abundant resource in the form of shell waste from food industry in Canada and the world. BOCO Bio-Nanotechnologies has currently the infrastructure in place for scalable extraction of chitin nanowhiskers (CNWs) from crab shells. CNWs are the crystalline form of chitin molecules, possessing high strength, stiffness and aspect ratio, making them an […]

With limited funding available, managers must prioritize which invasive species and which areas need to be managed. This project will involve finding out which sites and species need to be prioritized for management within the Greater Toronto Area. Through formal discussions with different stakeholders in the area and by using existing data (e.g. species distribution […]
