Nous avons actuellement un prototype de systeme de vision artificielle base sur des reseau de neurones profonds entra1ne sur notre jeu de donnees proprietaire qui permet d’identifier les zones de construction et de detecter et lire les panneaux de limite de vitesse. Dans notre prochain de R&D, nous souhaitons tirer partie de notre reseau de […]

Water quality is a key public and environmental health concern. Many rural communities rely on privately owned wells to provide water; however, these wells are not usually tested regularly and may be dangerously contaminated with bacteria or inorganic materials, such as arsenic or lead. A simple, easy-to-use, handheld water quality testing solution would encourage private […]

The muscles of animals are generally sterile, however, contamination with bacteria occurs during slaughter. Contamination occurs predominantly with microorganisms associated with the animals with microorganisms that reside in biofilm communities in the meat processing plant. Bacteria that reside in biofilm communities typically grow at refrigeration temperature and include major spoilage organisms of meats and meat […]

Universal NanoSensor Technologies (UNS-Tech) develops and commercializes microfabricated conductivity detectors. In this MITACS cluster, UNS-Tech will partner withProf. Young-June Kim to test UNS-Tech’s patented silicon microchip conductance detectors and to explore new detector architectures based on micro- and nano-patterned thin metal films. The results will be analyzed and the findings will be published in scientific […]

Dans le contexte de crise climatique et de montée des prix des matières premières issues du pétrole, il est urgent de trouver des voies alternatives de production via des procédés utilisant les ressources non fossiles, renouvelables et abondantes telles que les résidus de bois de l’industrie forestière. Ces résidus sont actuellement valorisés par un procédé […]

In January 1993 the oil tanker MV BRAER was transiting north of Scotland in the Shetland Islands. The ship was abandoned, adrift, and being blown towards rocky shores. A line could not be secured to the stricken vessel before it grounded and broke up causing a catastrophic oil spill. The MacDonald Hallett Oceans Protection Engineering […]

People with cirrhosis, a progressive scarring of the liver, often experience frequent and prolonged hospitalizations which have significant impacts to their quality of life. There are many areas for improvement in cirrhosis care such as the enhanced promotion of complication-specific order panels like that for hepatic encephalopathy, a serious complication caused by a buildup of […]

Nowadays, wearable devices attract a lot of attention, especially in the healthcare field. But translating all devices to wearable devices always comes with challenges. Some of the challenges are lack of knowledge about the application of different materials in smart textiles, limitation of developed smart textiles in practical application, no significant dedication in designing clothing […]

In this project, the university and industry researchers will work together to examine ways in which two new, powerful computing technologies, machine learning, and quantum computing, can be combined in order to improve our ability to understand and simulate molecules, chemistry and materials. One of the key challenges that limits improvements to today’s chemical simulation […]

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) a prominent material damage mechanisms in the process industries and pipelines which has reportedly caused countless failure events. Absorbed moisture in thermal insulation is the key reason behind CUI which also causes heat dissipation thereby posing the increased carbon footprint and reduced thermal efficiencies. The soaked thermal insulations have always been […]

KnowMeQ Inc, a future of work online skills assessment is working with the University of Guelph to establish a candidate recommender tool which reduces bias. This is the first phase of deliverables of the relationship, wherein the groups are building towards an ethical AI algorithm and an Adaptability Quotient (AQ) composite measure.
