Motion capture technology that uses markers attached to the body and specialized cameras has been used for research on human motion, but has been limited to laboratories with expert users. New markerless motion capture technology removes these limitations by using standard video cameras and advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, allowing us to measure motion in real-life […]

Fuel channel inspection is critical to safe operation of CANDU reactors. However, the existing techniques used to inspect fuel channels are slow. Fuel channel inspection represents a major bottleneck during maintenance shutdowns of CANDU reactors. To reduce inspection time, it is proposed to develop a robotic inspection system. Multiple copies of this inspection system can […]

Light detectors are a mature technology that we encounter on a day-to-day basis without even realizing it, such as in cameras for high resolution imaging and in satellites and dishes for communication. The ability to detect light at the fundamental limit (i.e., single photons) is critical for numerous applications in modern medicine, imaging and quantum […]

Data-driven optimization of building operations can significantly increase energy efficiency in the building sector with a relatively minimal cost. However, one of the main obstacles that prevent wide-spread implementation of advanced control strategies is the lack of standardization in data organization and advanced control algorithms between different buildings. To this end, this MITACS partnership with […]

Combination therapy has been one of the cornerstones for combating cancers. Even though the survival rate of cancer patients after receiving combination therapy is improved dramatically, there are still many unsolved issues to prevent us from claiming combination therapy is a cure for cancers. Those issues include it does not apply to all types of […]

Prostate cancer is the second most cancer related death in men, accounting or over 111 M$ yearly in Canada. Current prostate biopsy or therapy procedures such as transperineal brachytherapy use transrectal ultrasound guidance and a template to guide needles along parallel trajectories. However, pubic arch interference (PAI) with the implant path obstructs part of the […]

Bunkie life is in the custom building and manufacturing industry but we’re famous for our small log cabin kits called bunkies that can be built in a weekend with no power tools or 2nd mortgage required. Ultimately, they help families create extra space for meaningful connections. Bunkie Life recently appeared on CBC’s Dragon’s Den and […]

Hover is looking to hire interns to help with the testing and development of Drone Delivery in Canada. The Canadian technology industry typically lags behind the United States, and so in addition to helping with the MVP of drone delivery testing to see demand, we also are aiming to help move the Canadian ecosystem forward […]

The space industry is growing ever larger, with many commercial solutions being actively developed. Hybrid rocket engines fulfill a need in smaller launchers, to launch small satellites. These satellites currently have to wait in queue, often for several years, in order to obtain a place on the big launchers currently available. Solutions developed locally by […]

Cyclic Materials are helping the world transition to a more environmentally responsible future by recovering rare earth elements and other valuable materials from the difficult-to-recycle products of the modern world. Helping businesses recycle, provide the market with a secure and regional supply of critical metals, and do so in an ethical, economic, and sustainable way. […]

Helicobacter pylori (HP) colonizes chronically ~50% of the world’s population, causing gastric tissue inflammation and gastric ulcers or cancers. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have probiotic effects against HP, meaning that they help alleviate symptoms. We found that 5 LAB provided by partner Lallemand Health Solutions (LHS) produce and release molecules that inhibit the growth of […]

La transition énergétique mondiale nécessite le développement et le déploiement massif des énergies renouvelables, telles que les technologiques photovoltaïques. Les technologies photovoltaïques à base de matériaux pérovskites sont parmi les plus prometteuses pour les prochaines générations de modules photovoltaïques. Éventuellement combinées avec des cellules à base de silicium, des rendements de conversion photovoltaïques proches de […]
