Plastic packaging materials are needed in many food products to prevent spoilage and to extend shelf-life. This project focuses on developing plastic packaging materials that will not permit bacteria and fungi to grow on the surface of the plastic in contact with the food , bread in this particular case. Besides the obvious performance requirement […]

As chronic pain affects a large portion of the population, caregivers cannot locate the optimum pain site, there is a demand for the development of a pain scanner device to provide accurate information regarding the areas of pain. During this internship, a Patient Response Module (PRM) used by the patient to provide information about the […]

Structural health monitoring (SHM) of airplanes requires very compact and low-power stain sensors. Therefore, IPR wants to investigate how a commercial micro-fabrication process can be used to implement its MEMS sensor design, particularly using the electro-conductive properties of doped silicon vs. metal-coated crystalline silicon or polysilicon. The project will consist of a conceptual study of […]

Insurance companies collect huge volumes of text on a daily basis and through multiple channels, which can be used for lots of different analyses, including identifying “cause of death”. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of an insurance company’s need to understand the facts and circumstances surrounding an insured individual’s death. These facts, including […]

This is a partnership between ABB, an international leader in water quality monitoring, and McGill University, where the objective is to test the reliability of an emerging technology in ion concentration measurement. The technology combines state-of-the-art electronics, composed of the atomically thin material graphene, and ionsensitive polymers, developed in the research group of Prof. Szkopek […]

Nowadays, there is a rapid increase in the use of low-cost inertial navigation sensors for commercial and civil applications. Fully autonomous or remotely controlled vehicles requires a reliable and continuous navigation system providing meter level accuracy. The cost, size, and power demand of navigation systems providing this level of accuracy impose a limiting factor to […]

Most operations of horticulture are intensive users of water and nutrients. Growers recognize the importance of water conservation and recycling, and environmental protection and significant research dollars have been invested to develop integrated pest-management systems to reduce pesticide use, to optimize water and nutrient use within the operation, and encourage recirculation. The proposed project seeks […]

A novel medical device is designed and built by the partner organization. The medical device must go under certain safety tests during the manufacturing process, which are currently performed manually. However, manual tests are too time consuming due to the special structure of the device. On the other hand, the device is now being approved […]

Ananda Devices has developed an innovative technology to produce high-throughput organ-on-chip technology for commercialization in the pharma industry and cosmetic industry. For cost effective and fast commercializing the device, semi automation/automation is required for the high throughput data analysis. Further validation of the automation algorithm is required for data accuracy. So, our aim is to […]

Il devient plus commun de mesurer Vs, la vitesse de propagation des ondes de cisaillement, en vue de la caractérisation sismique d’un site, selon les stipulations des codes de construction. Ce paramètre est relié au module de cisaillement maximal du sol. En considérant de plus les développements récents qui permettent d’obtenir Vs par l’analyse des […]

New innovative technology is proposed for converting residual feedstocks, like petcoke and asphaltenes, into valuable products such as humic acids. This novel approach process employs an ultrasound technique in an aqueous alkaline media to create OH radicals at low reaction conditions and thus enhancing the formation of humic acids. The process has high efficiency, conversion […]
