Dental light-curing units (LCUs) are used every day in most dental offices. If this LCU is misused, this dental work can fail prematurely causing pain, post-operative sensitivity, pulpal death, and economic hardship. In Canada, dental curing lights are Class 1 medical devices, and Health Canada does not test dental curing lights before they are used […]

TRIUMF has begun the TRISR project constructing a experimental facility which is called low energy ion storage ring. The storage ring will provide unique possibilities for investigations of nuclear reactions when it is connected to a radioactive ion beam facility ISAC-I of TRIUMF. A neutron generator will be added to the facility to provide a […]

Over the last decade, chemical biology approaches have proven increasingly successful, delivering new solutions to problems that were previously unresponsive to traditional chemical and biochemical techniques. In the fields of proteomics and genomics, new diagnostics and therapeutic strategies are revolutionizing healthcare. However, in the field of glycomics, tractable strategies to study glycan (carbohydrate)-mediated processes remain […]

We are creating a powerful tool for improvements in surgeries of the brain and spine. A new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine will be used inside operating rooms so patients undergoing surgery can be imaged in the middle of the surgery for quality control. For instance, surgeons can obtain an MRI to ensure the entire […]

Marine Thinking aims at building a thriving business and using cutting edge AI technologies to transform the marine sector, starting in Atlantic Canada. The project is to develop advanced machine learning algorithms for the guidance, navigation and control unit of the USV, to have a safe navigation with hybrid path planning, obstacle avoidance, intelligent robust […]

Au cours de ce projet, nous souhaitons fermer des sacs en plastique utilisés pour l’industrie agroalimentaire et l’agriculture. Les problèmes principaux du sujet sont d’une part la méthode de fermeture, qui consiste à faire partiellement fondre la matière grâce à des ondes sonores à hautes fréquences transmisses précisément à la matière. Et d’autre part il […]

Le traitement des gliomes malins, dont le glioblastome, est un besoin médical non satisfait dont l’issue est normalement fatale, ce qui pose des défis majeurs pour la prise en charge clinique. Ce projet vise à démontrer que le modèle CAMAvatar, basé sur la membrane chorioallantoïdienne (CAM) d’embryons de poulet, est une technologie prometteuse dans l’identification […]

L’objectif du projet est de créer une antenne imprimée (microstrip) sur un substrat à déterminer. Cette antenne devra fonctionner sur une bande de fréquences précise (24.000 GHz à 24.500 GHz) et devra aussi éviter autant que possible de réféchir les signaux vers le générateur afin d’être efficace. Afin de bien répondre aux besoins de l’entreprise, […]

The Road Pavements are subjected to distress due to heavy traffic load and environmental factor and is a common cause of accidents resulting in loss of valuable life and economic losses. Regular monitoring and timely maintenance is the key to ensuring a healthy roadway infrastructure. Traditional methods of manual monitoring are time consuming, expensive and […]

A successful computer application can easily have millions of users, but handling the network traffic generated by millions of users is not easy. The server system has to be well designed in order to properly process large, concurrent, and distributed data streams without affecting user experience. In addition, users do not generate data constantly, they […]

This project will develop a robust software package that can be embedded with a camera system to provide an onboard sea-ice monitoring system. The software package consists of two main components: (1) Deep learning classification model, which involves a deep learning network trained to identify and classify sea-ice; (2) Lens artifact removal method, which is […]

Olfactometry is the science of using human subjects to measure odours without bias, as no instrument yet can replace the human nose. Recently, the method presenting odours to panellists has been identified as a potential element affecting response and measurement variability. Furthermore, the sensitivity of electronic noses also developed to measure odours remains an issue. […]
