Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell production facility must condition rolls of catalyst coated membrane [CCM] material to specific humidity and temperature conditions before using CCM in the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cell manufacturing process. Rolls of CCM material are conditioned in a clean room for a fixed time upon delivery to the facility. Previous testing was conducted […]

Kinova is a company that makes robots for different purposes, such as helping people in hospitals, schools, labs, and factories. Kinova wants to make better and faster robots by being able to plan and design them more easily. However, making robots is not easy. It requires a lot of different skills and knowledge from different […]

In the fast-paced realm of manufacturing, the integration of real-time quality assurance systems stands as a critical factor for maintaining product excellence and optimizing operational workflows. Traditional approaches to quality control in printed and additive electronics (PAE) manufacturing often grapple with complexities in user interface designs and lack the automation needed for efficient data handling […]

Friction control plays a major role in reducing wear, noise and vibration, and managing wheel/rail interaction on rail transit systems. Recognized as a global leader in rail industry, L.B. Foster has developed innovative lubrication technology for friction management at specific sections of a railroad track. The mobile dispensing system used for friction management requires an […]

In Early 2013, an NSERC Engage grant and a Coop term project enabled collaboration between Mercedes-Benz Canada Inc. Fuel Cell Division (MBFC) and Dr. Merida’s group at the University of British Columbia (UBC). A test-bench apparatus for the evaluation of fuel cell material properties during manufacturing processes was designed. The present proposal builds on the […]

Lorsque des prothèses et outils sont développés pour la chirurgie de la colonne vertébrale, leur conception exploite des simulations numériques. Cependant, les simulations de colonne qui sont utilisées ne représentent souvent qu’un individu caucasien de sexe masculin, dans la trentaine, et sans maladie. Ceci ne correspond pas aux patient·es susceptibles de recevoir une chirurgie de […]

The project aims to build a 3D object detection system by using a number of images from multiple cameras. The system will train on instances of objects to detect other instances of the same object. This means that if, for example, we want to detect a sphere, we will make the system learn how a […]

Plastics recycling remains a major challenge to global environmental sustainability, particularly for vulnerable populations such as remote Indigenous communities in which plastic waste is not viably captured by existing recycling networks. This research project aims to support the on-going work by NetZero Enterprises Inc., in the technical and business R&D for scaling-up the company’s mobile […]

Water injection in the industrial gas turbines is frequently used to improve the turbine performance during hot days. Injected water evaporates in the compressor section providing effective cooling leading to increased gas density and improved performance. Water injection technology poses several technological challenges. The injection system needs to be optimized to provide a uniform droplet […]
