The research will result in a working prototype of an innovative two-way, high-resolution video and audio communications system, codenamed "GLASS". The prototype is to utilize projection technologies developed by Christie Digital Systems, video cameras, audio capture and playback components, and synchronization software developed by the intern. The system will allow people to communicate over any […]

This project will evaluate the quality of color video displays and will provide quantitative information for color scientists to use to evaluate different models of color differences. The data will be obtained using color normal observers and using non-invasive psychophysical procedures to evaluate color perception with video displays. The results of these experiments in addition […]

The intern will work closely with the PPIC Sahara system design engineers to develop a new security control system to protect both the software and hardware of the Sahara system. The tasks will 1) propose a true random number generator based on the dsp controller 2) implement a cryptographic algorithm based on the random number […]

The project shall explore the cutting-edge research and technologies in monitoring daily activities using a set of sensors deployed in the house. The objective of the research is to provide a feasible solution for improving care for patients with chronic disease, while significantly reducing the healthcare cost. We will conduct a comparative study on the […]

Advanced Engine Technology Ltd. (AET) has developed a novel diesel fuel Ignition Quality Tester (IQTTM) that permits fast, precise and reliable measurements of the ignition delay and CN of diesel fuels. Precision and repeatability is paramount in the Cetane environment as refineries want the most precise instrument available in the market. More precise and repeatable […]

The Macassa Mine has historically been a major producer of gold in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Recently, Kirkland Lake Gold Inc. discovered a new South Mine Complex (SMC) which is one of the highest grade gold deposits in Canada. Mineralization in the SMC appears more sulphide rich than in the Main Break of the Macassa Mine, […]

The project will employ geological and geochemical methods to distinguish the various generations of iron-rich minerals, principally magnetite and hermatite, present in rocks that are mined for iron ore by the Iron Ore Company of Canada (IOC) in Labrador City/Wabush. The geologic history of the magnetite and hermatite is complex, having originally formed in the […]

Amorfix Life Sciences has had success producing highly specific antibodies, which can be used to diagnose disease. The company has recently gained access to an algorithm (ProMISTM) which allows to predict antibody targets on proteins in their diseased state, allowing development of very specific antibodies with diagnostic and therapeutic potential. The proposed project involves a […]

Electricity generation is one of the largest sources of carbon dioxide production in Canada. The combustion of fossil fuels (coal and natural gas) release carbon dioxide which contributes to rising global temperatures. Wind energy is considered to be an alternative to the traditional methods of generating electricity, producing electricity when the wind blows strong enough […]

The central interior of British Columbia has experienced the largest mountain pine beetle epidemic in history and the government of BC is contemplating changes to silvicultural practices. As members of a collaborative group of government, industry and academia, the partner companies require research into two areas: forest productivity measures and economic performance measures. By analyzing […]

Currently, in the oil and gas industry, document handling tasks are performed manually. Intellog is developing a search engine for handling the documents to various users in this domain. Due to complexity of the search task and variety of the users, development of a usable user interface for the search engine is challenging. In this […]
