An Integrated GPS/INS/Visual Positioning System for Head-Mounted Devices

The Recon Jet is an eyewear that is targeted towards cyclists and runners. The Recon jet is attractive because it displays the athlete’s performance, such as maximum speed and acceleration in real-time using the Recon Jet heads-up display technology. The current Recon Jet has a GPS receiver and onboard sensors that track the athlete position, and velocity, and displays the athlete’s ride data on a map. The current Recon Jet GPS receiver and onboard sensors have poor positioning accuracy of the athlete at times when GPS receiver signal reception is lost. This work proposes using a camera that is already on board of Recon Jet to better estimate the athlete position. The camera captures images of landmarks in the environment during the athlete ride. The relative shift of these landmarks captured in different images can be used to better estimate the athlete’s position and velocity.

Epigenetic Control of Human T Helper Cell Differentiation Across Development

Each year, about 4 millions of newborn babies die from infectious causes worldwide. Birth represents a major immunological transition from a safer environment to a microbiologically hostile outside world. T cells are key players of the immune system and newborn babies do not display a strong immunological response as most of their T cells are naïve and not differentiated into T helper (Th) cells compared to adult individuals. Thus, characterization of mechanisms regulating differentiation of naïve T cells in newborn babies represents an approach to enhance their immunological responses. Our research goal is to improve survival of newborn babies by investigation of the genetic modifications associated with these mechanisms. These characterizations also enable us to understand why there are variations in immunological responses to the same pathogen between individuals and could act as a starting point for identification of a therapeutic agent/vaccination to improve immunological responses in newborn babies.

Création d’un parc d’eau-vive à Montréal

L’idée est de penser un projet de construction utilisant les technologies appliquées afin de reproduire artificiellement les propriétés naturelles d’une rivière. Aussi exceptionnel que cela peut paraître, garantir un lieu de pratique viable pour des sports comme le canoë-kayak de slalom, de freestyle et de descente, le canoë-polo, le rafting, le surf, ou bien la nage en eau-vive, le sauvetage maritime, etc. porte en soi cette difficulté liée à la nouveauté de la chose. L’initiative de ce genre de développement nécessite de ce fait une investigation exhaustive de la structure et du fonctionnement de l’environnement commercial afin de confirmer les ententes avec les partenaires, surtout financiers. Ce prochain stage permettra dans une première mesure de chiffrer le portrait de l’eau vive au Québec. Dans une autre, d’en savoir davantage sur les circonstances de marché et sur l’assemblage dans la réalité d’un tel équipement en pleine ville.

Quantum Annealing Techniques for Efficient Graph Analysis

This research investigation aims to assess a set of well known NP-Hard problems that are currently only solvable with an approximation, and prototype implementations of a general solution to their class of problem previously developed by 1QBit. This requires a series literature and prior art reviews, prior to the development of new algorithms and code which will deploy an analog optimization process as part of their solution. Identifying ideal problems and refining recently developed solution is part of the larger research goals of 1QBit of finding methods to translate a range of problems into the ideal form for currently available adiabatic annealing hardware. This project is part of 1QBit’s research program for how to best utilize an annealing oracle for intractable or poorly solved optimization problems

Recovery of high purity scandium oxide from titanium processing residues

Scandium (Sc) is a rare, but strategic element for many high-tech applications such as next generation fuel cell technologies. Typically, it is required as highly pure (99.99%) Sc2O3. Currently, the global supply of Sc2O3 is very small and concentrated in a few countries. There is currently no production know-how available in Canada. The principal source of Sc extraction is as a by-product of metallurgical processes, e.g., titanium ore processing. The project investigates the extraction of high purity scandium from titanium pigment industry residues. This involves the selective leaching of a residue and determining the appropriate acid, pH, temperature, redox potential und time conditions. At the same time the dissolution of impurity elements needs to be minimized at maximum the Sc extraction. In a second step an appropriate chemical for solvent extraction is determined and the optimal extraction and stripping conditions will be investigated. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop a production process for of highly pure Sc2O3.

An emerging power: Brazilian South-South Cooperation in Mozambique and Haiti

This project considers how the rise of Brazil to global power status has changed its foreign policy direction, especially with regards to how it engages with other developing nations. In particular, this study considers how emerging powers like Brazil have dramatically increased the development assistance – what they call South-South Cooperation – they have provided to other developing countries over the previous decade. Why has assistance become such a valued foreign policy tool? Does cooperation support Brazil’s rise, such as by helping it to increase economic and political relations with Southern partners? Through the study of Brazilian-funded projects in Mozambique and Haiti, this project will provide an understanding of how a country’s emerging power status impacts its foreign policy priorities and behaviour. Moreover, the project will contribute to ongoing research on how South-South cooperation may differ from traditional aid practices in order to distill from both the innovative and effective policies that help to foster development.

Dynamic Light Redistribution Algorithm Advancement for High-Dynamic Range Digital Projection

This project will investigate and develop advanced algorithms for high dynamic range projection using caustic image formation. These algorithms dynamically redirect light from dark image regions to bright regions, which addresses the problems of low peak luminance and poor black levels in current projectors. The algorithms will improve upon existing lensing methods by increasing computational efficiency and improving contrast. This project will produce viable algorithms for light redistribution in cinema projectors. This increases realism in film, resulting in projectors with lower capital/operating costs than existing approaches. The project will review and adapt existing methods for caustic image formation on MTT’s prototype high dynamic range projector. The project will benefit MTT by allowing them to investigate a promising approach for light redistribution while drawing on the intern’s experience in computational displays. The intern will benefit from the internship by exposure to a new application area and gaining valuable work experience in an industrial start-up.

The relationship of sleep quality to recovery, training capacity and performance in elite athletes

The Centre for Sleep and Human Performance has been funded by Own the Podium to develop tools. strategies. and Interventions that will accurately evaluate the sleep quality of athletes. This partnership provides the Centre with a unique opportunity to have unrestricted access to a population of elite athletes who train and compete above the Intercollegiate level and whose motives for training and performance are not confounded by the external stressors professional athletes are exposed to. The purpose of this project is to characterize the epidemiology of sleep behaviors in elite athletes and determine the clinical validity of the Athlete Sleep Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) in order to more accurately assess sleep quality in this unique population. This information will be used to improve the management of athlete health and wellbeing and will serve as the only true comprehensive long term evaluation of sleep behaviors in elite athletes in the world.
