Comprehensive study of VCSEL-MMF coupling techniques

Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) are in high demand in short-reach optical interconnects. Reflex Photonics is a leading company in developing VCSEL-based optical transceivers for the harsh environments. So far, the speeds up to 12.5 Gb/s for a reach of 100 m have been achieved. One of the key bottleneck in developing rugged transceivers is the loss associated with the coupling light from the VCSEL to the multimode fiber (MMF). By analyzing the overlapping modes from the VCSEL to the MMF, the optimum launching condition can be determined. In this project, Lumerical mode, which is an optical modeling tool, will be used to perform the mode overlap analysis at several launching conditions. The results of this project helps the partner organization to improve the performance of the existing transceivers by modifying the optical interfaces used for the VCSEL-MMF coupling.

Integrated Project Delivery – Unlocking the Advantages of Innovative Technologies

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) defines IPD as:
“…a collaborative alliance of people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction.”
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has emerged as a project procurement and delivery method with the potential to deliver significant value to owners and building occupants by unlocking the time, cost and quality advantages offered by recent technological advances. IPD requires early involvement of key parties who share the risks and rewards of the project through multi-party contracts to improve project outcomes.
IPD and Technology may hold the key to addressing the housing affordability crisis today, while revolutionizing the way buildings are design and built in the near future. TO BE CONT’D

Processus d’amélioration continue dans les mines

Durant les années où les prix des métaux ont permis une hausse des revenus pour les minières, ces dernières ont constaté que cette hausse ne s’est pas traduite par des profits substantiels pour les investisseurs. Ce constat a amené les minières à réfléchir à leur mode opérationnel et à développer un processus d’amélioration continue inspiré de celui utilisé dans le domaine manufacturier. Ce développement consiste à adapter les pratiques actuellement utilisées en grande partie dans le domaine manufacturier et surtout à développer des indicateurs de performance propres à l’industrie minière. De plus, cette transformation s’inscrit dans un contexte où de nouveaux modes de communication dans les mines souterraines ouvrent plusieurs opportunités aux opérations minières : l’acquisition et le transfert de données massives; l’analyse de celles-ci par des techniques d’intelligence artificielle pour améliorer les opérations, l’automatisation des équipements et le contrôle à distance, une information plus fiable sur les données utilisées dans les logiciels de planification et le développement de logiciel de planification en temps réel permettant de réagir plus promptement aux divers changements. Les projets de recherche proposés dans cette demande s’inscrivent dans cette optique d’amélioration continue et d’optimisation des opérations minières. Ces projets, pilotés par groupe MISA, impliquent trois[…]

Level the field: sport and disability inclusion

UBC’s School of Kinesiology and viaSport British Columbia have received unding through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Partnership Development Grant program for a collaboration, titled Level the Field: Disability Inclusion in Sport. This work combines UBC’s research expertise and viaSport’s applied knowledge in an effort to understand how the sport sector can be made more inclusive for people with disabilities. Key to this work is understanding the roles of different provincial sport organizations and disabilty sport organization in delivering sport opportunities that are disabilty inclusive. The Mitacs Intern will conduct interviews with key actors in the BC sport sector to understand what the organizations are currently doing and the interdependencies between organizations. This knowledge will enable viaSport to more effectively fund organizations to deliver disability inclusive programming and to evaluate their investment based on areas where the organizations can reasonably be expected to have influence and impact.

The Effect of Artificial Intelligent (AI) Agent’s Self-Disclosures on Human-AI Interaction Outcomes

With increasing involvement Artificial Intelligenct (AI) technology in our daily lives, we need to learn about factors that can facilitate people’s trust in and liking of an AI, which can promote better human-AI interactions and eventually help humans to benefit from the service that AI provides. Self-disclosing behaviours, or acts of revealing one’s personal information to another, are crucial to interpersonal relationship development among people. We have found in our previous experiments that people tend to like those who appear to be more similar to themselves through self-disclosures. In this project, we will test the effectiveness of using AI’s self-disclosing behaviours to facilitate liking and trust from its human partner. Specifically, using the virtual human software developed by Dr. Gratch’s lab, we will investigate whether people will like an AI more when it reveals greater similarity to themselves through self-disclosures.

Signal recognition with machine learning using wavelet features

The emerging techniques of machine learning and artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes in all kinds of the industrial world. As a high-tech business solution company, Quartic.ai uses these modern techniques to help industrial manufactory companies work more efficiently. One of the challenging problems is to make the computer automatically recognize the status and behavior of the machine from the data collected by different sensors, so that people can record the history of the machine and conduct further analysis. This project tries to develop some algorithms to achieve this goal using the state-of-the-art machine learning technology. The algorithms developed will help the computer learn the patterns of the sensor data first, and recognize/detect the behaviors of the machine automatically.

Factors Related to Braille Acquisition Among Adult and Senior Learners: Establishing Evidence-Based Practice

The ability to read carries important implications for overall self-esteem and independence, as reading is necessary to perform many daily tasks (making grocery lists, reading prescriptions, following recipes). Rehabilitation professionals provide training and support to adults and seniors who are born with visual impairments or who acquire it later in life due to age-related conditions. Within this context, reading related difficulties are among the most common reasons for referral to vision rehabilitation services. Braille, a tactile system of reading for the blind, is one option for individuals who are unable to read print; however, very little is known about the impact of aging on braille learning and usage. The goal of this research is to explore the impact of age-related declines on the ability to read braille, and to investigate the influence of emerging technologies on the training outcomes of older adults who learn braille.

Amélioration d’un outil de surveillance en ligne non-intrusif pour le diagnostic des disjoncteurs à haute tension au SF6

L’une des principales grandes orientations de développement d’Hydro-Québec concerne les disjoncteurs à haute tension, essentiels au fonctionnement sûr d’un réseau d’énergie électrique. En service, les opérations de manoeuvre/commutation peuvent imposer de sévères contraintes aux disjoncteurs à haute tension. Cela, en raison des contraintes diélectriques et mécaniques fréquentes qui peuvent entrainer des défaillances compromettant la sécurité du personnel et l’équipement.
Il s’agit dans ce projet de recherche de contribuer au développement de nouvelles techniques de diagnostic non invasives pour les disjoncteurs à haute tension. La recherche inclut l’étude des phénomènes d’amorçages multiples dans un disjoncteur et l’amélioration d’un modèle numérique du phénomène d’amorçage multiple en se basant sur la théorie, ainsi que sur les nombreuses données enregistrées en réseau.
Les résultats de la recherche proposée permettraient d’obtenir systématiquement de nouvelles connaissances sur le diagnostic des disjoncteurs à haute tension, en plus de préparer la compagnie à leur utilisation à grande échelle.

Dual eye tracking for assessment of team cognition

Current assessment tools for teamwork are based on subjective assessment forms in general, objectively assess teamwork is a challenging task in the operating room. Laparoscopic surgery is a type of surgery that requires the surgeon and assistant to work cohesively, since the surgeon’s view is provided by the assistant consistently maneuvering the camera. We used eye tracker to track both the surgeon and assistant’s eye gaze in a simulated laparoscopic environment. We are interested in testing dual eye tracking technology’s feasibility to measure team cognition and apply dual eye tracking to surgical team training in laparoscopic surgery. Cross recurrence analysis will be used to analyze gaze synchronization. The outcome of this research is to validate whether dual eye tracking is a valid way to measure team synchronization.
