MicroPilot, a company located in Manitoba, is specialized in design and manufacturing of autopilot systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The company’s interest is to develop accurate simulation models of various UAVs, upon which the autopilot systems are tuned and verified first. The goal of this project is to evaluate and improve the model structure […]

This MITACS project aims to investigate the durability of IONOMR’s PEMIONTM membranes in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM)-based fuel cells for automotive and other applications. Specific test conditions and protocols for use at IONOMR based on industry standards will be developed and the materials will be benchmarked against current state-of-the-art materials in order to prioritize development […]

L’entreprise québécoise YourBarFactory, spécialisée dans la conception et la fabrication de barres de céréales sans allergènes, connait ces dernières années une forte croissance. Cette croissance s’est matérialisée fin 2018 par la construction d’une nouvelle usine. Afin d’anticiper la pleine utilisation future de ce nouvel outil, il est temps d’étudier l’efficacité des processus, et notamment la […]

The primary objective of the lab demo system is to interface the FBGs sensors for monitoring of electrical parameters of a demo power grid network equipment prototyped in the lab and the second objective is to interface, multiple electrical parameters of a demo power system grid network over a single module of FBG sensor and […]

This project intends to prepare DECAP’s minimum viable product (MVP) and ancillary designs for market-readiness, including building out a manufacturing and logistics pipeline, beginning the process of regulatory approval, and assist DECAP team members in completing a beta-test of our products in-the-field, in a COVID-19-safe manner. The expected project benefits are understanding the market, approaching […]

The goal of the project is to gain insight into AFTeR member organizations’ impact on the textile reuse industry in Atlantic Canada, the future of the industry, and the significance of the industry from the standpoint of social enterprise. By expanding the scope to include the Atlantic Canadian provinces, the project will aim to decipher […]

Rapidly detecting SARS-CoV-2 in infected individuals remains a critical problem in Canada. The current detection method is hindered by the need for highly trained personnel and expensive laboratory equipment. Such requirements cause long wait times and reduce the ability to manage the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. This Mitacs Accelerate project aims at addressing […]

The intern will be working with PROVA Innovations developing strategy for putting its medical device into the hands of patients. This device provides support to patients with Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s, Stroke, and Azheimers’. This project will involve determining what needs to be done in order to receive approval from Health Canada and the U.S. FDA […]

Environmental scientists examining large-scale ecosystem processes (e.g., climate change, contaminant effects) are increasingly charged with collecting high-quality data on a more rapid timeline and extending the application of that data spatially and temporally. IISD Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA) is a field research station comprised of 58 pristine lakes and their watersheds. This area has been […]

(de 100 à 150 mots) Le bitume est utilisé pour produire les […]

L’intelligence artificielle et l’apprentissage profond font leur entrée dans notre vie. Que ce soit par le biais de moteurs de suggestion de film, d’assistant vocale ou d’aide à la conduite automobile, il est désormais pris pour acquis que cette technologie est là pour rester. Mais les modèles d’intelligence artificielle que nous connaissons aujourd’hui souffrent tous […]

Global pollution emissions contribute to climate change and are damaging to health. In many industrial applications that produce particulate matter, devices such as cyclones are used to separate and capture the particles from the exhaust gas. However, these do not capture the very small, but hazardous, particles and so expensive and energy-intensive secondary systems have […]
