A significant part of people’s self-concept, who and what they think about themselves and who they are, is based on the groups and organizations they consider themselves part of, including their workplace. People who identify with their workplace are more committed to and satisfied with their jobs, and are less likely to leave. When a […]

SOTI has developed a software product called SOTI SNAP that allows anyone to create an app with no programming or technical knowledge. SOTI SNAP allows users to create apps by dragging and dropping widgets onto a canvas and connecting them together to create an app. The research problem to be addressed is to solve customer […]

The project objective is to understand and apply the metallurgical fundamentals for the heavy gauge steel product development. The major tasks can be divided into two groups: (A) the precipitate investigation through conventional and advanced characterization techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and (B) the implementation of thermomechanical processing models for the rolling schedule […]

SOTI has developed a software product called SOTI SNAP that allows anyone to create an app with no programming or technical knowledge. The goal of this project is to develop media scheduler widgets so that users can create playlists consisting of mixed media (videos, images, documents) and then deploy them at specific hours on certain […]

Individual stamped sheet metal components need to be joined to create sheet metal assemblies used in a car. Powerful laser light delivered by a robot is used to quickly weld these assemblies by making dozens of individual welds within a few minutes. For economical production, it is essential to minimize the total production cycle time. […]

7.2. Public Project Overview: The project will develop an online tool to quantify the economic return on investment resulting from improvements in public health attributed to investments in urban greenspaces. The tool will focus on three pathways: improvements in physical health, improvements in mental health and health benefits associated with improved climate resiliency. The tool […]

Ultrasound, an inexpensive, accessible and portable device is gaining popularity in various disease diagnoses. In this project, we aim to analyze the ultrasound images generated for knee joint for diagnosing hemarthrosis (joint bleeding), a common clinical event in patients with severe hemophilia. We aim to analyze the images using machine learning and deep learning techniques. […]

Arthritis is a chronic disease that severely decreases the quality of life and affects almost 4.6 million Canadians, costing $33 billion for the Canadian economy every year. Affected individuals experience pain and disability through an extended period of time. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a common form of arthritis, is an autoimmune disease characterized by the inflammation […]

As smart home and artificial intelligence technologies are developing rapidly, smart home devices contribute to better living quality and safer spaces. These smart devices are intelligent agents. They receive a variety of signals through sensors placed in ecobee’s thermostats, light switches and other smart devices and controls the heating and cooling, lighting, as well as […]

How do you support the fastest growing municipality in a largely rural region as it works through its growing pains? What happens in a rapidly growing community that’s been recognized as one of the best places to live as it tries to keep up with labour demands, changing demographics, and challenges to the enabling infrastructure […]

Adaptive driving beam (ADB) is an advance vehicle forward lighting system that automatically adapts its beam patterns to create a non-glare zone around oncoming and preceding vehicles. The purpose of ADB system is to produce good long-range visibility for driver without causing discomfort glare to other road users. The non-glare zone of current ADB system […]

The COVID-19 pandemic is placing enormous economic pressure on Canadian workers and employers, and it is unclear what the long-term economic impacts of the crisis will be. This research will produce a model to describe ways in which employers and workers might adapt to, recover from and build long-term resilience to COVID-19 and other natural […]
