Origen Air and the University of Victoria (UVic) will construct a controlled test environment inside a seven-meter shipping container with a greenhouse bio filter installed on the roof. It will connect to a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system servicing the interior of the shipping container. The system will include anti-viral surfactants and air […]

La pratique du hockey est actuellement interdite en raison de l’absence de mesures de protection des joueurs éprouvées contre la COVID-19. La compagnie CCM souhaite ainsi développer un dispositif de protection individuelle contre la COVID-19 pour les joueurs de hockey. Les concepts actuellement à l’étude visent à éviter la projection et l’inhalation de gouttelettes qui […]

Dans le cadre de ce projet, les stagiaires Mitacs collaboreront avec une équipe de recherche du cégep André-Laurendeau et une entreprise québécoise pour développer un instrument de mesure de la distance entre les personnes. Cet instrument contribuera à une reprise économique dans le respect des normes de santé publique liées à la prévention de la […]

Structural Health Monitoring/Management (SHM) through adequate prediction of the remaining useful life of structures is a major area of interest for the aerospace community, especially considering aging aircraft where the growing maintenance costs can reduce their economic life. Also, composite structures due to their high strength-to-weight ratios, high stiffness, inherent corrosion resistance, and improved fatigue […]

This project is defined to mitigate the problems associated with the accumulation of ice and pollution on the high-voltage insulators and subsequent flashover and power outage. Superhydrophobic surfaces, having a controlled combination of low surface energy materials and surface roughness, are one of the best candidates for icephobic and self-cleaning applications. As the high-voltage silicone […]

Depuis le début de la pandémie de COVID-19, notre vie sociale, professionnelle et personnelle a radicalement changé. Ce nouveau virus pose des défis inattendus y compris pour tous les médecins et personnels de santé. Bien que le virus ne soit pas dermatotrope, de nombreuses affections cutanées liées ont été identifiées, principalement en raison d’une utilisation […]

Companies rely on financial reports which are generated through various transactions such as sales and expenses to understand the discrepancies between actual performance and financial forecast. Accordingly, generating commentaries on financial data might be considered as a routine operation for many companies. The previous studies indicate that machine learning algorithms can be used to automate […]

The ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 has increased the demand for critical supplies such as test kits, protective equipment, and, most importantly, mechanical ventilators. The injection moulding process is well suited to manufacture various components of mechanical ventilators. Improving mold designs is a key factor in the mass production of the injection molding of parts. In […]

Ce projet vise à démontrer la faisabilité technique et économique de déploiement d’une politique de maintenance axée sur le prévisionnel sur une ligne de production de sciage soigneusement choisie. Sur un horizon de 2 ans, le projet vise à développer, déployer une méthodologie normalisée de mise à niveau pour les scieries afin de migrer du […]

In the COVID 19 vaccine and anti viral therapy development, advanced optical imaging is used to measure the interaction of virus and the host cell Current microscopes is relatively slow and lacks required customization specific for COVID 19 research To address such a challenge, we plan to develop 3D print ing technology to build a […]

The proposed project is focused on the development of software for accurate mapping of radiation levels on the ground using aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for data collection. The problem of accurate radiation mapping is crucial for handling emergency radiological incidents (e.g., on nuclear plants), monitoring national borders, operating nuclear mine sites, etc. The […]

Aquaculture feed has historically relied on fish-based protein sources to satisfy nutritional requirements for optimal growth. While plant-based proteins are increasing throughout the aquaculture industry, the need for fish protein is still present to ensure the “natural fish” taste that consumers want. Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) have been proposed as a solution to this […]
