This project is part of a research program to develop a model of sustainability-oriented innovation processes. The model would allow Canadian organizations to innovate systematically and deliberately and become leaders in innovating for sustainable development. We will work to develop the model with Canada’s Oil Sand’s Innovation Alliance and its members: Cenovus Energy Inc., Shell […]

Le but de ce projet est de créer un outil pour séparer les conseillers financiers en différents groupes à l’image des besoins des clients qu’ils représentent. Une fois séparés, l’entreprise partenaire sera capable de juger la performance des conseillers financiers selon les besoins des clients qu’ils ont plutôt que par un rendement absolu, où la […]

The goal of this project is to design an indoor navigation & sensing system for our UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) especially for under glass vegetable greenhouse nurseries environment. Plant Maintenance Operations (PMOs) refers to all the activities, such as inspection, pruning, and harvesting that are necessary to sustain a plant or a tree. PMOs have […]

Lyme disease is one of the many diseases transmitted by ticks. The rate of these diseases is rapidly increasing in Canada. Diagnosing these diseases is difficult but examination of biopsy, necropsy and autopsy tissue can help to understand the full and varied effects of the disease and ultimately reduce misdiagnoses. Biobanks are required for this […]

The research outlined in this proposal involves two projects that address challenges in breeding new varieties of the bioenergy crop Miscanthus. The first project is an extension of work that began under a 2010/11 MITACS Accelerate PhD Fellowship. This project aims to develop protocol for long-term storage of pollen to cross varieties that do not […]

This research project is intended to develop and maintain a database for collection and storing of data for the direct operational maintenance cost of an Aircraft. This research will investigate and develop an improved database structure which will lead to better analysis of the Direct Maintenance Cost or DMC incurred by operators of the aircraft. […]

Airlines must continuously strive to reduce operating and maintenance costs [1]. Bombardier has continuous target to meet customer expectations for maintenance cost reduction.

Earned Value Management (EVM) is a better way of managing project on the weekly or monthly basis. The EVM allows managers to be on top of their project budgets and deadlines. When managers complete projects on time, and within budget, the projects are said to have earned value. With the increased number of information available […]

When Bombardier comes across reports from their customers regarding frequent part failures, they investigate reasons for the cause of these failures. If many reports are received, all due to similar faults on the same part, design changes are made to the part to make it more reliable. Once the newly designed parts are available for […]

Pelmorex (Owner of the brands TheWeatherNetwork and MeteoMedia) operates weather information services accessed by all Canadians on desktop computers, mobile apps and Television. The mobile app is one of the most downloaded and used app in the country in both Apple/Google ecosystem of smart phones/tablets. Continous and accurate location data is collected from the apps […]

Le lac Saint-Charles est un réservoir d’eau potable qui est soumis à un vieillissement prématuré qui est causé par l’accroissement de la population sur son bassin versant. Il en résulte une dégradation de la qualité de l’eau et de son intégrité écologique. Nous pensons que les eaux usées générées par les humains sur son bassin […]

The project deals with capturing CO2 from the exhaust of Diesel generator in Northern regions of Canada where the vast majority of remote communities rely on diesel generation for the production of electricity. The plant will be relay on Gas Compression and Liquefaction using the extra energy produced by diesel generators. Also in the Northern […]
