Large fiberglass parts cannot be easily recycled. In this proposal, a recycling method will be developed to meet the needs of Proslide. Waste Fiberglass generated by Proslide will be transformed into recycled parts that can be re-used by the company. This will accomplished in several steps by first taking the waste parts to a recycling […]

Trojan Technologies provides UV-based technologies for water, wastewater and reuse wastewater treatment. This proposal is directed towards optimizing and developing the validation protocols for UV systems provided by Trojan. The study results will expand Trojan’s ability to provide more holistic and sustainable reactors for water/wastewater treatment as well as expand the polychromatic UV market. From […]

Concrete—the most common construction material globally—represents the main component of construction. Cement production and its use in concrete as a binder are among the highest carbon dioxide producing processes, thereby contributing to climate change. Any decrease in carbon emissions from construction will help improve the industry’s long-term sustainability and help the environment. One potential solution […]

The proposed research develops a transdermal alcohol detection system. The system is comprised of an array of polymer based MEMS sensors and a sensor measurement circuit. The system analyzes gases exuded from the skin – the gases are chemical mixtures that may (or may not) contain ethanol. No known polymers respond only to ethanol; however, […]

A London-based company, Novel Cardiovascular Systems Inc, has developed a unique multifunction system for measuring endothelial (arterial wall) cell remodelling under different types of laminar, turbulent and intermittent pulsatile flows that are associated with the onset and development of heart disease, notably atherosclerosis (narrowing of the artery). In order to accelerate the product to market, […]

L’industrie aéronautique amorce un virage irréversible vers l’électrification de la propulsion des aéronefs. À travers ce projet Bell Textron voudrait analyser les performances d’un système hybride batterie – multipile à l’échelle 1 (grandeur réelle). La compagne s’est donc adjoint une équipe de recherche de l’Institut de recherche sur l’hydrogène afin de mettre en place un […]

Our project proposed an invention of a fully self-contained, autonomous flying robot that can mimic the morphology of the bat wings. Inspired by its attractive flying characteristics, our flying robot could achieve more agile flying ability in hovering and turning than conventional micro aerial vehicles. Meanwhile, the shape-morphing and flapping wings help the robot fly […]

Our proposed research is to create an algorithm capable of pre-evaluating diabetes patients’ meals before they consume them with the snap of a picture. We are attempting to accomplish this goal by employing AI, machine learning as well as computer vision for real-time analysis. Our goal is to analyse a user’s meal to return an […]

When a previously trained machine learning model is put into production, the production phase begins where said model makes predictions on the inputs provided to it. When the distribution of production data changes over time, we talk about data drift. Then the model is likely to become less efficient, or even obsolete. The project consists […]

The proposed project is an extension of a previous project “Multi-hazard Risk & Resilience Assessment for Real Asset Decision-Support” which aims to develop a methodology and software for performing rapid high-resolution multi-hazard risk assessment for asset portfolios by combining commercial/publicly available hazard models with high-resolution vulnerabilities derived from multi-physics simulations of different asset archetypes. The […]

Running is a very popular, low-cost form of physical activity that is utilized by Canadians as a means to improve both physical fitness and mental health. Throughout all seasons experienced by most Canadians, runners use some form of compression apparel as a means to regulate temperature, improve performance, and enhance comfort. Using an iterative and […]

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are smart materials capable of recovering large inelastic strains. SMA are therefore excellent candidates for applications where deformation needs to be controlled remotely. One of the main challenges holding back a wider acceptance of SMA is their poor workability leading to high tool wear when manufactured by machining. Additive Manufacturing, also […]
