This is a project that aims to deploy a new sensing system that allows the estimate of nutrients in potato plants in near real-time by scanning their leaves in two different modes: fresh when still intact and dried. This sensing system would replace manual sampling and wet tissue chemical analysis to allow immediate response to […]

Toyo Pumps is planning to develop a new generation of pumps with a viewing window in order to evaluate the maintenance timing. However, there are several challenges posed by application of allocating the viewing window that the company product developers must overcome. The University of British Columbia (UBC) has the expertise, equipment, 2D and 3D […]

The project will investigate the use of non-linear optimization and heuristic methods such as Genetic algorithms to determine the parameters of commercial induction motors from available manufacturer data. The developed model will be simulated using electromagnetic transients simulation programs. A suitable objective function will be developed which penalizes deviation off the simulation results from manufacturers’ […]

The first phase of the project produced a detailed modeling and documentation of the Sales and Quotation phase of the partner’s business process. Interview results were combined with existing documents, database information, etc., to map and describe the business tasks in the process. The primary deliverable for the first phase was a detailed model of […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

There is an ongoing industry challenge to continuously improve gas turbine engine efficiency, decrease fuel consumption, and reduce emissions. Addressing these concerns involves developing advanced architectures, airfoil features, and innovative materials to improve performance, with a key focus on abradable coatings. These coatings play a crucial role in improving turbomachinery performance by acting as a […]

Measurement of trace-levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) is critical to manufacturing processes such as in semiconductor production. Electrochemical sensors are a mature technology for measuring DO, with the classic sensor pairing a silver (Ag) with a lead (Pb) anode. Emerging international regulations that ban the use of Pb due to environmental concerns threaten the continued […]

PetDifts is launching smart collars to the market. This project includes refining product application to get ready for customers, spread the word out using digital marketing and partner with retail pet shops.

The research project involves studying how extracts from sea cucumbers can be used in skin care products. Sea cucumbers are marine animals known for containing natural substances that might be beneficial for skin health, like slowing down skin aging or lightening skin tone. The project has two main goals: first, to make sure these sea […]

Le ou la stagiaire sélectionné(e) participera à une étude de marché stratégique pour HeatConnect, notre système de chauffage innovant qui utilise la chaleur générée par des serveurs informatiques pour réduire significativement l’empreinte carbone de nos clients tout en augmentant leur valeur économique. Ce stage, effectué en collaboration avec le HEC Montréal, mettra l’accent sur l’analyse […]

Le présent projet de recherche porte sur l’étude de la distribution de contaminants émergents, soit les substances per- et poly-fluoroalkylées (SPFA, ou PFAS en anglais), dans les plantes, plus particulièrement les saules à croissance rapide, lorsqu’irrigués avec des eaux contaminées ou du lixiviat de lieux d’enfouissement. Les PFAS sont une famille de composés chimiques synthétiques […]

LoopX plans to have their intern develop a virtual testing platform in a simulated software program, where the robots mining vehicles with the autonomous driving algorithms that are meant to drive in mines can be put through their paces. These robot mining vehicles are expected to handle complex mining-specific situations, but mines are tricky places […]
