Le présent projet s’inscrit dans la continuité des missions dans lesquelles la Fondation MIRA s’est illustrée en proposant ici d’intégrer puis d’incrémenter les recherches concernant les effets du chien d’assistance sur l’enfant avec troubles du spectre autistique (TSA). Ce projet se divise en deux études distinctes venant se pencher sur deux thématiques non investiguées jusqu’à […]

Ce projet est réalisé en collaboration avec la Fondation Mira. Notre objectif est d’étudier les effets du chien d’assistance sur l’enfant avec troubles du spectre de l’autisme (TSA). Le projet se divise en deux études se penchant sur des thématiques non-investiguées jusqu’à présent. Au cours de la première étude, sera étudiée l’évolution de la dynamique […]

There is a demand in the market for an economical and efficient handheld seawater desalinator. The goal of this project is to develop graphene based membrane technology which will first provide a handheld personal desalinator and then be scalable to a higher flow rate single family point of use desalinator. In this direction 2 and […]

La fiabilité des installations électriques du Canada contribue directement à la vitalité économique et à la qualité de vie des citoyens. Le vieillissement graduel des transformateurs de puissance (éléments les plus importants de réseau électrique), associé à la croissance de la demande en électricité, augmente le risque de voir les équipements à risque tomber en […]

Le vieillissement graduel des transformateurs de puissance (éléments les plus importants de réseau électrique), associé à la croissance de la demande en électricité, augmente le risque de voir les équipements à risque tomber en panne et entraîner des coupures d’électricité. La durée de vie de ces équipements étant liée à celle de leur isolation solide, […]

The excellent mechanical properties and its lightness make graphene a revolutionary material as efficient audio transducers for speakers and headphones. Several studies have reported the superior performance of graphene diaphragm in electrostatic and thermoacoustic transducers [1-2]. However, these graphene diaphragms are produced from expensive methods with low scalability and are not suitable for application in […]

ORA has developed a unique audio solution based on the use of graphene oxide (GO), an oxidized graphene produced by a scalable chemical method. GO shows a good balance of stiffness, density and damping when assembled into micrometers thick layered structure and has been shown to perform significantly better than commercial diaphragms by ORA. The […]

The partner organisation, Sigma Energy Storage, develops energy storage by gas compression. This technology is based on the storage of electricity from intermittent energy sources, such as wind or solar power, and the recovery of unused electricity from diesel-based power sources located in remote communities not connected to the electrical power grid system. During the […]

Real-time full-body tracking based on single or multiple commodity depth sensors are an integral part of many applications such as motion transfer in 3D games, 3D virtual and augmented reality, and human computer interaction. The proposed project directly derives from practical needs expressed by the partner organization, DreamCraft Attractions (Victoria) in developing fully immersive VR […]

Modern molecular targeted therapies have shown promise in treating some blood cancers, but a cure remains elusive for most acute leukemia patients. This is largely due to the survival of some leukemic cells that possess unique properties and can cause treatment failure or relapse, warranting identification of new, distinct targets for improved therapies. In collaboration […]
