The partner company (AMD) is a major innovator in the field of computer graphics and visualization, they manufacture Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) which are used by many gamers around the world. While playing video games, gamers tend to perform out-of-band actions such as saving the last few minutes of gameplay after a challenging fight in […]

This project seeks to play a role in making fusion energy a reality, a big step in energy decarbonization. The project is in collaboration with General Fusion, based in British Columbia, where a fusion reactor is being designed, based on a spinning cylinder of liquid lithium which is mechanically collapsed around a plasma to produce […]

The proposed project will be a collaboration between the Ottawa (ON) based integrated circuit (IC) company, Power Integrations Inc. (PI) and RIGA lab at University of Manitoba, Winnipeg (MB). The result of the research project will be transferred to the IC design team in PI to integrate power semiconductors, gate drivers, controllers company to identify […]

La photopléthysmographie (PPG) est une méthode non invasive mesurant les changements de volume sanguin dans les tissus. Cette technique permet de dériver des métriques physiologiques importantes, telles que la fréquence cardiaque, la saturation en oxygène et la pression artérielle. Cependant, pour des résultats fiables, il est crucial de prendre en compte les différences physiologiques des […]

Le projet vise à comprendre le processus de mise en production des poutrelles, d’identifier les variables qui influencent la décision de mise en production et de prédire cette décision chez le groupe Canam pour contribuer à la mise en place d’un système intelligent pour l’automatisation de la mise en production des poutrelles. Il s’agit également […]

Epileptic patients have a long term risk of recurrent seizures and the mainstay of treatment for controlling seizures is antiepileptic drugs. Management of epileptic emergencies usually requires hospitalization and the administration of intravenous (i.v.) anticonvulsant drugs. Lorazepam i.v. is the most effective treatment of status epilepticus, and therefore is routinely used in hospital emergency departments. […]

This MITACS supported collaborative project with Lassonde Inc., was to develop a tool for shelf-life prediction of packaged snack foods by obtaining data under accelerated testing conditions. The gathering of data involves holding the pre-packaged snack bars (provided by the company) at different elevated temperatures for selected times. The product quality during storage is periodically […]

Intelligent health-conscious battery management system (BMS) and advanced battery thermal management systems (BTMS) are essential to improve performance of energy utilization, safety, and cycle-life. Improvement in the energetic performance on all these levels encourages integration and development within the full thermal installation. This project will look at Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML)-based intelligent state estimators […]

In Canada, the transportation sector accounts for 25% of all emissions. Hydrogen fueled vehicles is one option that has a great potential to reduce Canadian and global CO2 fuel emissions. This research project investigates production parameters that influence hydrogen storage capacity in storage materials in order to optimize the production process and increase the hydrogen […]

Everly is on a mission to transform our everyday self-care essentials so that they not only care for us but for the planet too. Roughly 50 million tons of waste is produced a year and most of it is shipped to / dumped in poor countries in Asia and Africa. Beauty and self-care product packaging […]

Many methods for providing respiratory support to patients are currently in use, however more commonly available techniques such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) are not appropriate for ventilation of patients with airborne infectious diseases due to the risk of aerosolization endangering other patients and hospital staff. Clarivent has develop a sealed device to provide […]

The project will support technology innovation for an assistive device to treat plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopthy more quickly and easily. Affecting more than 15% of the general population, these indications have significant affect on health and wellbeing including occupational, physical and mental health. Recovery is lengthy, re-occurance is common and treatment is not standarized. […]
