  • New app can help young adults with first-episode psychosis to better manage cannabis use

    Scientists at Université de Montréal’s affiliated hospital research centre (CRCHUM) are testing out a mobile application to help young adults who have a first episode of psychosis to support safer cannabis consumption. The nationwide clinical trial, a first in Canada, is led by Université de Montréal psychiatry and addictology professor Didier Jutras-Aswad, a researcher at CRCHUM.…


  • What to look for in your motion control feedback device

    When it comes to the world of motion control, it is easy to take your feedback device for granted. After all, it’s a small part of the system and is typically tucked inside the motor housing, out of sight and out of mind. However, the impact this seemingly minor component has on a system’s accuracy,…

  • Designing stepper motors for temperature resistance in HVAC applications

    Stepper motors are dependable by design and are relied on by HVAC manufacturers to control dampers and valves. However, as HVAC systems are commonly installed to operate under high temperatures, stepper motors require adequate protection to ensure reliable, long-term operation. This demands appropriate motor design, validated by thorough testing. Rahul Bhor discusses the approach to…


  • Understanding the Bode Plot in servo system control

    In servo systems, optimising performance factors such as gain and phase shift is critical to achieving precise control. While modern microprocessors can tune servo drives and motors to balance control attributes, using the traditional approach to understand servo system behaviour across frequencies can be vital. The Bode Plot enables fine tuning of complex servo systems…
