Many mobile devices that are used in an enterprise are considered mission critical as they are heavily relied upon, allowing a worker to do their job. Locating these devices anywhere and anytime becomes that much more important, especially if they become lost or stolen. SOTI’s technology leverages GPS on a device to track its location […]

With an aging population on the rise, the prevalence of cognitive decline is expected to increase substantially. Goal Management Training® (GMT) and the Memory and Aging Program® (MAP) are cognitive interventions that have been studied extensively and applied clinically to address these needs. Although previous research has demonstrated efficacy of the in-person versions of both […]

Bio-oil derived from fast pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass usually contains a high oxygen content (30-50%), leading to a relatively low heating value, high viscosity and poor stability. Moreover, the presence of organic acids in crude bio-oil results in low pH value and hence corrosion of the reactor materials (steel or alloys). To […]

This project addresses one of the challenges confronting Vertical Agriculture (VA): the acquisition of added-value data, their analysis and their transmission to enable VA to provide a steady production while minimizing its environmental impacts, manage its yield and allow for a better understanding of its inter-related component. As a starting point, strawberry production is looked […]

Detection of natural gas diversion in residential pipelines is important for public safety. To maintain utilities companies’ reputation and customer satisfaction, such diversion must be detected in a nonintrusive manner, without digging or using endoscope cameras. Thus, it is important to develop techniques for residential gas pipeline diagnosis using an external small device that can […]

COVID-19 has significantly impacted the world. Nucleic acid, CT, and fever tests are standard tests, but they suffer from various limitations. For instance, CT requires large & expensive equipment. The nucleic acid test is not portable and takes at least two days. As sensor technologies get more advanced, a portable, low-cost and fast diagnosis COVID-19 […]

The goal is to create a conversation loop between 3D designers and artificial intelligence programs. This will help the AI provide suggestions to the designer, while the designer provides the AI with feedback. This can help make it easier for designing complicated objects as well as complicated textures that belong to the surface of 3D […]

This project supports development of a laser-based sensor capable of accurately measuring methane releases from oil and gas wells, an important source of greenhouse gas emissions. This sensor will lead to a more accurate understanding of greenhouse gas emissions and enable mitigation actions in the upstream oil and gas industry. This is a critical step […]

The design of next-generation cleaner and quieter aircraft will rely on accurate simulations of turbulent flows. These simulations, referred to as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), are critical in the design of both the external shape of an aircraft, as well as other components such as jet engines and propellers. The industry partner, ANSYS, develops one […]

360 Energy is a Canadian company specializing in energy management, providing consultation services for the, commercial, greenhouses, and industrial sectors. Their current workflow utilizes a proprietary tool that that is labour intensive, which this research will seek to automate. The proposed approach is to create a building model that will output an energy breakdown of […]

This project will develop and test a new method of integrating geospatial measurement data in order to support a Measurement-Based Data Management System. This method and the data management system that can be built from it will have the ability to improve the operational efficiency of Land Surveying firms across Canada. The partner organization expects […]

Non-palpable breast cancers, needing localization before removal, make approximately 60% of the diagnosed breast cancers. The gold standard for localizing includes implanting protruding wires or radioactive seeds in the lesion. The wires are not accurate, cause pain and discomfort to the patients, while the radioactive seeds warrant strict administrative and safety requirements. MOLLI Surgical Inc. […]
