Manual inspection method is still applied by mounting parts on customized checking fixtures and thus dimensions are checked with different gauges/feelers. Typically, it could take 10 -30 minutes to fully inspect the required spatial dimensions of one part. This project will develop an automated 3D dimensional inspection system for deep drawing parts. After manually mounting […]

Global service providers in highly regulated financial sectors must accommodate an ever-changing, sometimes competing, landscape of regulatory concerns. This project seeks to determine a reasonable path forward in technology design and adoption to accommodate current and anticipated data privacy and data residency concerns, making it possible to keep data within borders while still facilitating collaboration […]

The Nymi band is a unique wearable that authenticates the wearer using biometric data to provide continuous authenticated presence in smart environments. Nymi enables wireless user proximity & presence solutions, removing the need for physical interaction with IoT, mobile and computer applications for identification, non-repudiation, personalization and intent for any transactions. Similar to a lot […]

Electric power is almost entirely transmitted through polymer insulated cables or wires in every home, factory, plant or apparatus. If the temperature of a cable increases, it would be an indication that some accidents or malfunctions such as inflow of excess electric current occur in the cable. The generated heat, indeed, degrades the polymer insulations […]

An early symptom of Alzheimer’s Disease is difficulty in remembering recent events. These trends are reflected in problems in language and patterns of speech. Speech patterns of an individual can hence be used to determine the trajectories of preclinical cognitive decline. The difference in the cognitive trends over subject groups, analyzed using speech data collected […]

Surgical Safety Technology aims to improve operating room safety by capturing and analyzing operation videos. Usually, operating room traffic (like people displacement) has a huge impact on surgery. Unnecessary movements can cause distraction of surgeons and pollution of the sterile environment. This project applies computer vision models to detect and track people movements in the […]

The goal of this work will be to explore different ways to visualize and interact with knowledge extracted automatically from very large heterogeneous document collections. This extracted knowledge will be in the form of a multi-attribute graph of extracted entities and relationships between them. These relationships will be associated with both temporal and spatial information. […]

This is a continuation of a MITACS sponsored study for the Chief Information Officers Association of Canada, Ontario Chapter, to assist its members in long term career planning and development. It will refine and further validate a model for advancement from CIO to CEO, by interviewing CEOs who have successfully made the transition. In total, […]

CRISP is an international Deloitte development initiative aimed at helping some of our largest clients understand and managed corporate risk. CRiSP stands for “Cognitive Risk Sensing”, and it centers around using large sources of mostly unstructured data (i.e. 10% sample of all of Twitter, thousands of news aggregators, etc.) to understand and forecast risk for […]

Addictive Tech Corp is a fast-growing ad-tech company. They use real-time advertisement bidding software which is massive and sophisticated. The actual dynamics involved in any given bid are complex and hard to predict. This makes writing test logic for such a system cumbersome and catching all corner cases next to impossible. Because of the scale […]

Currently, some public and private organizations have implemented various identification verification solutions to manage identity authentication. The idea of using a third-party identity provider (IdP) to access a relying party (RP) is not new, and both RP and IdP have their benefits as they can only be connected once in a federated identity ecosystem. While […]
