This project will assist a company with the commercialization of a system that captures anesthetic gases from hospital air emissions, to reduce their environmental impact and global warming effects. A working system is already developed, but under some conditions the anesthetic gases break down to form a hazardous hydrofluoric acid material. This acid is undesirable […]

Le développement de nouveaux produits antimicrobiens d’origine naturelle susceptibles de réduire l’incidence des bactéries pathogènes et d’altération dans les aliments prêts-à-consommer et de prolonger leur durée de vie, demeure une urgence dans le secteur agroalimentaire. Dans le cadre de ce projet, on se propose de développer un procédé industriel pour la production et la stabilisation […]

.Siemens Canada develops land-based gas turbine engines that are used for power generation. These engines burn natural gas and produce combustion pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Reducing emission of these pollutants addition of low carbon fuel, such as hydrogen, to natural gas. However, addition of hydrogen leads to occurrence of combustion instabilities […]

A common problem in aircraft cabinetry is deterioration of high gloss finishes, giving an “orange-peel look”, which is attributed to some kind of dimensional instability. This can be related to the veneer, the varnish, their interactions and how they evolve over time and in different environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) to which the aircraft cabinetry […]

À plus de 8 millions d’animaux, le chat est l’animal de compagnie favori dans les foyers canadiens. Le diabète de type 2 a une prévalence qui varie de 1 pour 50 à 1 pour 400 chez le chat de compagnie. La glycosurie est une manifestation diagnostique chez le chat diabétique. Actuellement, il n’existe aucun moyen […]

Information is everywhere, especially in the commercial vehicle industry. Vehicles may be classified by number of axles/tires. There are several text- and label-based classification systems: for dangerous goods transport (HAZMAT); vehicle safety code compliance (CVSA); and general identification and tracking (license plates, USDOT numbers). Employing humans to perform simple classification and recognition tasks can be […]

Documentation is an integral part of any product development. Product and documentation should co-evolve; whenever the product is changed the documentation should be updated and vice versa. Yet, oftentimes, multiple documentation and product versions may exist; between and within the documentation of the product, relations and dependencies may or may not be explicit, documented, trustworthy […]

De plus en plus, l’amélioration des processus de fabrication et des méthodes de travail est un enjeu au cœur des préoccupations des petites et moyennes entreprises au Québec, et ce, encore plus dans le milieu agroalimentaire en raison de la diminution notable du nombre de petites fermes. L’incertitude et les variations constantes de la demande […]

Nowadays, we are witnessing a wide adoption of Machine learning (ML) models in many software systems. They are even being tested in safety-critical systems, thanks to recent breakthroughs in deep learning and reinforcement learning. Bombardier, a world leader company in the domain of aerospace have started integrating deep learning models in its products, systems and […]

Natural extracts have potential as anti-cancer therapeutics. These botanical materials are well tolerated and are safe to be given as supplements over long periods of time. This project aims to provide scientific and clinical validation of these extracts for their anticancer effects and sensitization of cancer cells to standard chemo regiments. Synthite Industries Inc., a […]

This MITACS project addresses a significant barrier the partner company (Fibos Inc.) is facing with their current customers in manufacturing of fibre optical sensors that can be robust and cost effective for the high temperature and pressure environments. The market is aimed at sensing of rotor assemblies in turbines where electrical and other means of […]

Softab Technologies is a fast-growing company in Windsor, Ontario that is developing new formulations and methods to provide nutraceuticals: vitamins, natural extracts, and minerals in a revolutionary new form of chewable and dissolvable gel. They are working with a research team in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Windsor to refine […]
