Evaluation of additive manufacturing technology for the fabrication of wind-tunnel model parts featuring static pressure channels

The objective of the proposed project is to evaluate the use of additive manufacturing technology for the fabrication of wind-tunnel model parts featuring static pressure channels. The long-term aim of this research to devise an innovative manufacturing process that reduces the cost and lead time required to fabricate aerodynamic wind-tunnel models. The suggested methodology is to test the transient response time of pressure channels manufactured with additive technology and to compare it with those manufactured using classical machining. The results obtained through this project will help the industrial partner devise a manufacturing process for wind-tunnel model parts used, among others, at the NRC 1.5m Blow-down wind tunnel.

Development of a Gateway Embedded System for Smart Lighting Control

There is a growing demand to conserve energy at the load side using smart lighting systems in the buildings, warehouses, and other facilities. In a smart lighting system each of the electrical devices is regarded as a wireless node capable of communicating with other nodes through an available wireless technology. The proposed R&D activity targets at developing a gateway device which is an important component of a Bluetooth enabled lighting system which uses the BLE technology for internetwork communication between different nodes. Bluetooth v4.0 or Bluetooth low energy (BLE) wireless technology is a newly introduced technology with much lower power consumption compared to the devices equipped with standard Bluetooth technology. The low power low cost BLE enabled devices creates a new opportunity to reduce the power consumption of the wireless nodes in smart lighting systems.

Création d’une application mobile visant le développement des habiletés perceptives et productives musicales des enfants

Ce projet vise à encourager le développement des habiletés musicales des enfants de 3 à 6 ans par l’entremise de la technologie. Le recours à une application mobile pour bonifier les habiletés perceptives et productives musicales s’avère une avenue très intéressante à considérer par les parents et les éducateurs. Le recours aux nouvelles technologies éducatives visent la stimulation directe de l’audition, de la vision et de la praxie au cours de la petite enfance. À partir d’extraits musicaux de la collection Analekta nous viserons un apprentissage actif de la musique : une façon concrète d’éveiller les enfants à cet art.

Sustaining our forests in southwestern Alberta

This MITACS internship will support Julie Fortin, an MSc student whose focus is on developing new techniques for analyzing oblique historical mountain survey images based on the world’s largest systematic collection of historical mountain survey images, the Mountain Legacy Project. Her research is driven by questions about shifts in biodiversity over time, built atop biodiversity data and models developed by Dr. Jason Fisher and his colleagues and crews with Alberta Innovates for Willmore Wilderness. While removed from the landscapes of southwestern Alberta, in which a broader research initiative funding the Foothills Reearch Institute is supporting, the research questions and processes are analogous, and Ms. Fortin’s research will advance an understanding of how best to gain leverage for understanding disturbance ecology from a unique historical dataset of historical survey images.

Automatic Casting from Videos Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

In automatic casting applications, the aim is to accurately recognise facial regions that correspond to a same actor appearing in a movie to produce described video. In particular, this project will focus on challenging tasks of capturing and modeling the facial trajectory for each person appearing in a movie in order to predict when/where the principal actors appear. This is a challenging task because recent movies are typically high quality and faces are often occluded and their appearance varies significantly according to pose, illumination, blur, etc. The first objective of this project is to analyse and evaluate the state-of-the-art algorithms that are suitable for accurate detection and tracking faces in high resolution movies for fast automatic casting. Given the facial trajectories captured in a movie, the second objective is to investigate methods for learning or adapting predictive models to detect the principal actors in a film. TO BE CONT’D

The Characterization of Effective Dielectric Constant in Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) Fabrication Process for Development of Advanced Millimeter-Wave RF Front End Systems and Components

High frequency millimeter-waves are quickly becoming essential for many industrial and commercial applications including high resolution automotive radar and high-speed wireless communication systems. While millimeterwaves offer many benefits, they also introduce new engineering challenges, due to the smaller wavelengths and dielectric properties of materials at high frequencies. One of the primary challenges relates to the accurate characterization of the substrate material parameters, which are relied heavily upon in design and simulation of millimeter-wave circuits. Thin-film low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) are a popular substrate choice for millimeter-wave circuits, allowing multiple metallization layers and accurate fabrication dimensions. Yet the accurate characterization of the electrical material parameters for LTCC have as yet not been extracted for millimeter-wave frequencies. The primary goal of this research is to accurately extract the effective dielectric constant and loss tangent of the as-fabricated material used in the LTCC process developed at ACAMP. This will allow ACAMP to offer increased first-pass fabrication yield to its customers, reducing design cost and time.
