L’exposition au froid extrême peut entraîner des conséquences importantes sur la santé et la sécurité surtout pour les personnes qui doivent dormir à l’extérieur. Les sacs de couchage constituent la dernière barrière de protection contre le froid. Durant leur utilisation, ils sont soumis à des compression et exposés aux risques de condensation à l’intérieur ce […]

Located in Toronto, Andorix is a smart building enabler and systems integrator for real estate properties. As typical smart buildings house between five to ten thousand various Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors generating massive amounts of data, Andorix has embarked on a Research and Development (R&D) program to leverage the available data to […]

When absorbed through the skin, far-infrared radiation increases body temperature by improving blood flow. Bioceramic textiles are fabrics that emit mild, safe levels of far-infrared radiation, and clothing made from these materials may improve blood flow to increase body temperature. As we age, our body’s ability to regulate blood flow and control temperature is reduced, […]

Governments around the world are investing to bridge the “digital divide,” which refers to the gap among populations in terms of ability to access digital tools and the Internet. This effort is especially evident in public schools, because education has been identified as one contributing factor of the divide. Thus, it is of great public […]

Le projet Autonomie des Mobilités Aériennes du Futur a pour objectif de structurer l’autonomie des nouvelles mobilités aériennes (Regional Air Mobility / Urban Air Mobility) au Québec à travers deux approches complémentaires. D’abord, en capitalisant sur le riche écosystème technologique pour faire du Québec la place forte des systèmes d’aviation numériques. Pour ce faire, Thales […]

Beavers are known as ecosystem engineers for their ability to modify landscapes with their dam-building activities. There are numerous ecological benefits associated with beaver dams, as they create diverse and productive wetlands that provide habitat for various plant and animal species. There is growing interest to partner with beavers to aid in the restoration of […]

Manure application supplies valuable nutrients to crops and reduces soil erosion, however, it can also be a source of pollution. Emissions of dust, gases, odors, virus, and bacteria can be released in large quantities and have negative impacts on the environment and workers’ health. This project proposes to adapt a low-cost technique called Passive Flux […]

Menya Solutions est en train de développer un logiciel de simulation du raisonnement clinique appelé pour le moment DITREX, destiné à la formation des infirmières. Il leur permettra de parfaire les habiletés d’évaluation et de raisonnement clinique. Sachant que le développement de ces habiletés requiert beaucoup de pratique, l’Association Canadienne des Écoles en Sciences Infirmières […]

Smart device applications show great promise as a means to improve the mental health and well-being of users. CheckingIn is one such app. CheckingIn monitors self-reported daily mood states of users and suggests exercises to improve user’s mental health and well-being. Although the app’s well-being programs are scientifically informed, there is a general lack of […]

The primary objective of the project is to investigate, design and prototype a secure and reliable online tool that enables real-estate buyers to pay deposits on real-estate transactions electronically via credit or debit card. In addition, it will allow real-estate brokers to log in and view transaction statistics. The tool will provide a user friendly […]

Commercial and multi-unit residential buildings located in cities with high sun exposure often experience challenges regulating indoor temperature due to the uneven distribution of solar radiation and localized overheating. For buildings located in cold climate zones, localized overheating – and in turn, localized indoor cooling – during the winter heating season is often overshadowed by […]

Accelerometers are a type of sensor that have various applications from everyday handheld devices such as smart phones to complex systems such as airplanes. Sensors are devices that we use to “see”, “hear” or” sense” the environment around us. With accelerometers, we are measuring motions. When there is movement and as a result an acceleration […]
