This project will undertake the development of a cost-effective, continuous monitoring, wireless temperature sensor. The sensor development undertaken with NURO will integrate the hardware with software algorithms designed to track and deliver a simple output for healthcare monitoring. The device is anticipated to be employed for tracking of COVID-19 in front line workers by monitoring […]

L’industrie minières ne cesse de développer les moyens lui permettant d’améliorer à la fois la sécurité de ces travailleur et l’efficacité de sa productivité. L’usage des véhicules connectés et automatisés (CAV) représente la future étape transformatrice de cette industrie lui permettant d’atteindre ces deux objectifs toute en permettent à celle-ci de prendre le virage de […]

Until an effective vaccine becomes widely available for COVID-19, a frequent home test of the coronavirus on a weekly basis might become a new norm. Therefore, developing rapid, accurate, stable, and cost-effective tests is critical for combatting the spread of COVID-19 over the long term. Aptamers are single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides that can be selected from […]

Pour des constructeurs des pompes hydrauliques, la conception, la fabrication et la caracterisation des pompes centrifuges presentent toujours un grand defi. Une meilleure fabrication de ce type des pompes exige une determination avec precision de tous les parametres cies des composantes de la pompeo II s’agira, dans Ie cadre de celie proposition de recherche, de […]

There is an urgent need to develop antiviral coatings that would be applied to functional surfaces such as personal protection equipment (PPE) and others to arrest the spreading of COVID-19. In this project, the University of Waterloo researchers will work with industry partner, SiO2 Innovation Labs, to develop an optimal composition of such antiviral coating […]

The proposed research aims to optimize the use of DMSO as a lixiviant in gold recovery. To date, mercury and cyanide are the popular lixiviants used in the gold processing industry. These chemicals are harmful to both the environment and humans, and have been the major concern in gold mining. The proposed lixiviant, DMSO, is […]

The accurate knowledge of origin/destination traffic matrices allows network operators to efficiently perform network management operations to maximize network performance (minimize network congestion, average delay, jitter, energy consumption, etc.) and increase network reliability in case of device failures and other exceptional events. However, traffic matrices cannot be directly measured, and network operators, such Videotron, can […]

The development of the Athabasca Oil Sands in Alberta has been a source of national and global controversy in recent years. This is in part due to the impact it is having on the health and way of life of locals and the creation of large toxic waste ponds. These ponds are known to leak […]

Pneumonia remains the single leading cause of childhood death under age 5 worldwide. The price per dose of current vaccines is high and supply is limited due to a complex manufacturing process and low yield, significantly reducing its distribution in developing nations. A newly patented vacuo dry-glycation process promises much higher efficacy than the conjugation […]

One of the main challenges in tree fruit orchards is to accurately predict apple yield and identify the health of individual trees (e.g., healthy foliage, fruit development, detecting and identifying diseased trees). Manual performance of these tasks is labour intensive and costly. Therefore, automated processes provide novel solutions with enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and productivity. The […]

Au cours des dernières années, CAM Solutions a remarqué que plusieurs de ses clients. des usines munies de machines à commande numérique (CNC), éprouvent systématiquement de la difficulté à les faire fonctionner à pleine capacité et selon un horaire établi. En effet, l’apparition constante de pannes et de problèmes imprévus nuit à la performance de […]

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a steerable trenchless construction method adapted in the 1970’s from the horizontal oil well drilling technology. HDD has become a very successful worldwide technology for trenchless utility and pipeline installations becoming an annual multi-billion dollar industry across five continents. The HDD process involves considerable risks based on many hazards and […]
