USB Type-C Power Delivery (PD) is a universal fast-charging protocol for powering cell phones, tablets and laptop computers with the same power supply. It has been promoted as the next generation of charging technology by industry leading companies such as Google and Apple. This all-in-one charging solution will allow customers to carry only one charger […]

Solar cells are an incredible source of renewable energy. As with all technologies, though, they should be cheap, easy to adopt, and smart. Dye-Sensitized Solar cells are solar cells that are not only highly effective at creating energy from the sun but are also capable of being adopted into homes in new and unique ways. […]

Hybrid low-inertia Turbine Storage System (HITSS) is a samara-inspired wind turbine accompanied by any commercial battery storage system. Inspired by the autorotating maple seeds, the HITSS wind turbine is designed to track the sudden changes of the wind speed in a similar way to maple seeds (samara seeds). The main objective of the proposed project […]

Sleeping behind the wheel is one of the leading causes of road accidents and there currently exists a lack of definite limits on fatigue. The United States of America’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cites that over 100,000 road accidents in 2017 can be directly attributed to drowsy driving , and when over 1 in […]

In the wake of recent school shootings in U.S. and increasing gun crimes in Canada, parents consider taking additional measures to protect themselves and children safe. We aimed at the development/manufacture of affordable and flexible bullet/knife resistant backpacks for civilians. The backpacks could be used as a shield against bullets/knife to save life. Current available […]

Disease modelling and drug development includes a stage where cells are grown and studied inside a laboratory under controlled conditions for a varying set of parameters. One of the most commonly performed lab tests are wound healing or cell migration where the effect of different concentrations of drug or an allergen is studied over time. […]

The increase in population and associated contamination of surface and/or ground water with phosphates, nitrates, and heavy metals has resulted in scarcity of clean water in many cities around the world. Phosphate is a major pollutant responsible for the global algal bloom in various water bodies like lakes and ponds. The project focuses on developing […]

Meat is a food staple that is consumed and enjoyed worldwide. Global meat consumption has grown by with population growth and increase in per person consumption accounting equally for that increase. Further economic development is expected to further increase demand for meat and meat products. Livestock production to meet this insatiable demand is unsustainable due […]

La consommation énergétique des bâtiments représente à elle seule près de 40% de la consommation énergétique mondiale, et plus de 30% des émissions annuelles de gaz à effet de serre. Dans cet ordre d’idée, l’optimisation du contrôle des chauffages, de la ventilation et de la climatisation (CVC) représente un enjeu majeur pour le secteur énergétique […]

Pour assurer le maintien et l’accroissement de la vitalité et visibilité, une organisation à but non lucratif (OBNL) se donne les moyens et la capacité d’adaptation pour évoluer vers une transformation numérique réussie, ainsi que pour créer de la valeur pour leurs clients, projets et services. L’objectif général consiste à analyser l’organisation avant sa transformation […]

In industry, inspection of manufacturing floors is handled by humans. The drawback of using humans for this repetitive task is that collected data can be highly prone to bias due to small sample size and industrial engineers can miss relevant details during the cycle time analysis. Calculations often misinterpret the real factory situation. This research […]
