Gold Sentintel has built a non-visual fall detection and respiration monitoring product for Long Term Care called ElephasCare LTC. ElephasCare LTC utilizes passive radar sensors to detect residents’ position within their rooms, monitoring motion and respiration, and automatically notifying caregivers in the event of a fall, or lack of respiration. This project looks to enhance […]

Rapid diagnostic testing has proven essential for stemming the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. Given the global threat of COVID-19 transmission, millions of tests are needed per month to isolate infections and to facilitate safe reopening of societies. This internship will contribute to COVID-19 diagnosis efforts by first developing a faster and cost-effective protocol for viral nucleic-acid […]

There is a strong market demand for welding filler metals to make surfaces that can resist both abrasive wear and chemical loss. The objective of this internship is to quickly design and formulate high-chromium submerged arc welding powder for overlay. The experimental core for this project involves selecting alloys and designing microstructure at the University […]

Mothers can influence the behaviour and physiology of their young even before hatch. In birds that occurs through the deposition of hormones and nutrients into the egg. Mother-hens can be housed in various systems that offer different challenges to the bird. Our project will investigate how housing a mother-hen can affect the resilience of their […]

The project is a high-throughput method to detect and identify infectious disease such as COVID-19 based on advanced optical technologies developed by Manitoba based Adva Diagnostics Inc. The Adva technologies use the interaction of light with a patient sample to produce a spectral “fingerprint” in minutes without the use of reagents. The spectral “fingerprint” is […]

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 […]
