There is a need for customers to use a simple test method to determine if the fuel blends they are using are of the proper composition for fuel efficiency, environment- friendliness and engine cylinder compatibility. But it is difficult to determine the composition of oil/fuel/ethanol mixtures without detailed and expensive chemical analysis. It is because […]

This project’s objective is to help improve knowledge regarding consumer perspectives of conventional car mobility and transport innovations in Canada, with particular focus on fully automated vehicles (FAVs), or vehicles that can drive themselves without requiring a driver to be paying attention. Innovations can alter the transport sector’s environmental sustainability – for example, electric vehicles […]

Bolus covers patient’s skins to correct varying surface contours for desired dose distribution in cancer care. The existing method of bolus shaping is a manual process by cutting the bolus material into 2D pieces and wrapping the pieces on the targeted body area, which is inaccuracy and time-consuming. An accurate and efficient bolus shaping method […]

Upper limb rehabilitation devices mirror the skeletal structure of patients’ limbs and moves patients’ arms for recovery in rehabilitation exercises. Existing rehabilitation devices in the market have problems of adaptability and portability, which cannot meet different requirements of rehabilitation. This project will improve the design and build a prototype the device. The detail design will […]

Les deux stagiaires auront pour cible de développer la stratégie de maillage entre une PME désirant innover et les différents types de ressources qu’elle pourrait avoir besoin en appui à ce besoin innovant.

The multi-elemental analysis of solids typically requires their dissolution, which is time-consuming and very difficult, and sometime virtually impossible. During this project, a new method will be developed for the direct analysis of solids that are notoriously difficult to dissolve. The sample will be inserted into a small furnace whose temperature will be changed in […]

Grokvideo Inc. works on developing new technologies for extracting the best possible information from video content. This research project will provide new solutions to text-based query-video retrieval and automatic trailer generation for eventful videos such as movies and serials. Current methods seem to work well for short, non-eventful videos, say documentaries, but fail otherwise. Major […]

Research how the supply chain for Class I Medical Devices works, including distributor relations, especially for small companies with a narrow product line, and prospect the Medical Device market focusing on Class I and Class II Medical devices companies willing to file an MDEL application. By the end of the project, DECAP would have selected […]

The project will include elements of in-depth research, designing and development of new methods and marketing strategies to increase the brand visibility and build AirMatrix’s pipeline. I will also be working alongside the Sales team to assist with strategic decision making, offering potential solutions to identify and overcome barriers to market entry as well as […]

This project will focus on the design, fabrication and testing of an annular array-based histotripsy transducer that will improve the combined ultrasound imaging and therapy endoscopic device currently in development at Daxsonics. Histotripsy is a method of focusing high intensity ultrasound waves to liquify tissue and is a promising new method of accurately removing tumors […]

Le but du projet est de développer un pipeline de données qui traite les observations de séances de jeu et les segmente en différents archétypes de joueurs. À titre d’exemple, dans un jeu de rôle, certains joueurs ont un style de jeu offensif, tandis que d’autres ont un style plus défensif. Le premier défi est […]

This research project is a collaboration between researchers at the Delmore “Buddy” Daye Learning Institute (DBDLI) and Dalhousie University and aims to inform practices and grow knowledge on collaboration, economic prosperity and well-being in the African Nova Scotian (ANS) community. Nyasha Mandeya will be focusing on investigating the collaborative process that went into the creation […]
