The objective of this Project is to reduce diesel dependency in rural and remote communities through capacity building activities related to the development and delivery of knowledge and skills that lead to community renewable energy projects.

This contribution supports the creation, production and delivery of a wordless play that tells the story of the history of Niagara, including Niagara National Historic Sites.

In the current project, a new cost functional for the variational formulation is proposed, wherein all the intrinsic properties of the most complete version of the Navier-Stokes equation including the non-linear terms are incorporated. To achieve this, one needs to simultaneously consider the Navier-Stokes system and its dual by means of non-convex optimization theory. Due to the presence of a convex function and its Fenchel dual, this new and symmetric energy functional is constructed and used as follows: first, a general framework, in which solutions of the Navier-Stokes system – which is not of the Euler-Lagrange type – are identified as the minima of an appropriately devised non-negative self-dual energy functional. As the second step, such self-dual features are used to develop a systematic approach for a variational resolution and stability of the solutions of the developed equations.

NRC’s mode-locked InP based quantum dot lasers are capable of data rates up to 20 Tbit/s from a single laser and over a single optical fiber, achieved through a combination of pulse amplitude modulation or quadrature amplitude modulation, and wavelength division multiplexing among >40 coherent optical channels. This technology has potential to dramatically increase the bandwidth and efficiency of optical networks, improving data and communications with remote regions across Canada.This project aims to further extend the technology with a focus on (1) expanding the laser bandwidth, enabling a larger number of channels to be multiplexed, and (2) leveraging the unique properties of quantum dots to enable stable and efficient operation over a range of 0 to 100 C. Efficient operation at high temperature is of particular importance for low-cost equipment that is deployed outside of data centers.

The HTSN program aims to develop innovative technologies to deliver extreme broadband services across Canada.

The objective of this collaborative research program is to advance the “precision agriculture or farming” with enabling information and communications technology, such as the smart sensing technologies, industrial Internet of Things, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. This research will be in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada and the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The outcomes of this research will contribute to Canada’s economy by transferring precision farming technology to the Canadian agriculture industry.

The proposed project will address printable technology to implement metamaterial based RF lenses to enhance the performance of antennas used in broadband satellite communications systems. Composite Right-Hand Left-Hand Transmission Lines (CRHLH) will be used to add re-configurability to the proposed lenses. New printable technologies making use of electrically smart materials based on ferro-electric and ferro-magnetic printable inks are proposed.
The RF lenses will add additional layers of control to the antenna by re-shaping the radiation pattern while adding agility against operational and environmental conditions.
