Ericsson is an industry leader in offering telecommunication solutions and products. As an important step on the path towards the automatic and autonomous management of next generation networks, Ericsson is developing technology in machine learning and artificial intelligence that will benefit operators around the world, including in Canada where Ericsson supplies technology to most of […]

Pressure ulcers are among the top five leading causes of re-hospitalization in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Unfortunately, current conventional prevention and treatment methods have neither decreased the prevalence of these ulcers nor significantly improved their outcomes. To address this difficulty, here, we will test the efficacy of our new liquid skin substitute to […]

Plankton food-webs are the primary support system for juvenile salmon, necessary for their growth, health, and ultimately survival at sea. Understanding how and why plankton food-webs respond to changing ocean conditions is one of the major goals of the Pacific Salmon Foundation, with the view to understanding fluctuations and declining trends of salmon stocks in […]

The Project’s objective is to continue the upgrading work executed in the previous MITACS Converge project with a larger focus on more challenging biocrude oils such as heavy fractions, high viscosity, high nitrogen, high ash oils that are produced from feedstocks such as “feed gate residues” in the form of manures, biosludges and organics from […]

Influencer marketing is a new and innovative way for brands to target their customers on social media in a highly accurate and trusted way. Brand partners work with hundreds of influencers over a period of time, which is called a campaign, to create marketing material. This marketing material is shared by both the brand and […]

For this project, a data mining, visualization, and modeling technique will be developed and tested specifically for emails, using publicly available datasets. The mining will consist of gathering email and other potentially related datasets and cleaning those datasets. Cleaning will consist of removing duplicate or unnecessary information, as well as labeling data with basic information […]

ROSS Intelligence enables legal professionals to find analyze legal issues and find hidden information and cuts down on research time by using artificial intelligence specialized in legal research. Recent advances in neural networks applied to natural language processing have brought results that are close to human performance in some tasks. However, this approach is still […]

Design of loadbearing, out-of-plane (OOP), tall masonry walls tends to have stringent limits related to their buckling stability and the scarcity of research on their structural reliability. This currently puts the masonry industry at a disadvantage as a construction alternative compared to other structural options. The proposed research investigates the strength of tall masonry walls […]

Rockfalls and landslides are a common hazard throughout Canada and have a significant impact on transport corridors, infrastructure associated with natural resources, and in public areas. The ability to determine the potential for slope failures is often limited either by the lack of a detailed assessment of the slope, or by the understanding of the […]

Sensoreal’s patented technology allows them to perform complicated laboratory health testing procedures on a plastic microchip the same size as a credit card. The testing is done through the use of passive microfluidics, in much the same way as trees transport water to their leaves. A blood sample is placed in the loading port of […]
