The proposed research is for the intern to work with BlueMind Inc. to gather and build data on different types of insurance client scenarios. Once this data is aggregated the intern must work with the organization to clean, organize and label the data. Finally, the outcome of the project should be AI models based on […]

Copper is typically extracted from secondary sulfide minerals using heap leaching, a relatively low-cost hydrometallurgical technique. In this process, leaching solutions are irrigated on top of a packed ore bed and percolate through the porous materials. Fe(III) is required as an oxidant in the extraction process and must be continuously regenerated to sustain the reaction. […]

The purpose of this project is to design and fabricate a compact optical component that will be used in tandem with a display panel to use in Head-Up Display systems. The essence of the optical component design is the use of microlens arrays. Microlens arrays are thin, usually planar lenses composed of much smaller lenslets […]

La problématique que le projet veut résoudre est la réduction de la vitesse sur le réseau routier et la sécurité de tous les usagers. 30% des accidents fatals sont dû à la vitesse et 82% arrivent sur les routes secondaires. Un véhicule équipé d’un limiteur de vitesse actif à la capacité de réduire significativement les […]

We will develop adaptive mirrors that will allow Photo-Acoustic Remote Sensing (PARS®) microscopes to autofocus, thereby allowing them to obtain three-dimensional, depth-resolved, images.

Les différentes données liés à la performance sportive représente un enjeu important dans le monde du sport. Sports Ai se spécialise dans l’analyse de la performance des équipes sportive en temps réel. La solution proposée est composée de plusieurs algorithmes de vision par ordinateur (intelligence artificielle), de serveurs pour le traitement de données ainsi que […]

The proposed research project aims at technology for environmentally benign recycling of nickel. The process entails conversion of nickel found in the “black mass” from recycled Ni-based batteries into nickel carbonyl, Ni(CO)4, by reaction with CO at modest temperatures around 50-120°C (pressuredependent). Only nickel carbonyl is volatile under these conditions and is easily separated from […]

This project is about designing a system to monitor the performance of a renewable energy system installed in the Coniston Seniors’ Center for supplying the hot water demand of the building. This system includes photovoltaic thermal panels, wastewater heat recovery system, thermal energy storage, and heat pumps. The proposed system will use no fossil fuel […]

The objectives of the proposed research are to develop fully compostable and biodegradable beverage cups in Manitoba, using paper made from “waste” biomass (canola straw, cattail biomass) biodegradable polymers.

With approximately 1 million amputations performed per year worldwide, the need for prosthetics has never been more prevalent. In particular, bionic prosthetics provide more freedom and assistance to amputees as it allows them to manipulate their prosthetic with their minds, feel their surroundings, and mimic human-like movements. Unfortunately, the cost of bionic prosthetics can range […]

We aim to provide companionship, distraction and engagement for seniors who would prefer social interaction to being alone. Fundamentally, the technology we intend to develop and, by the end of the grant, deploy on a trial basis in a long-term care facility, would present a conversational nurse or care provider avatar with whom the seniors […]

VanWyn Inc., an engineering company based in Hamilton, Ontario, is developing a game-changing technology that will make possible vastly more data transfer (superior to 5G networks), along with wireless communication that cannot be intercepted by anyone other than the intended receiver, radically changing the world of cyber security. This new device will also finally make […]
