Investigating the use of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality for Digital Content Creation with freehand 3D Sketching

The project involves conducting a study to evaluate human performance in executing simple drawing tasks like drawing curves and lines from various directions. The study will help ascertain the accuracy and ergonomic aspects of 3D drawing. We will then use the results of the study to design a 3D sketching system combining augmented reality glasses with traditional drawing tablets. The tablet can provide a physical constraint to aid drawing tasks while also reducing the amount of fatigue the artist faces. Autodesk will gain invaluable insight into 3D drawing and users’ response to content creation tools in an immersive environment, which will help Autodesk’s R&D and engineering teams develop products for users wishing to draw, paint, create, or animate using this evolving technology.

A GIS tool for identifying and optimizing road access and transmissioninterconnection for generation resource options

Renewable energy resources, such as run-of-river hydro and wind, are often located in remote areas unserved by existing roads and electricity transmission. In order for these resources to be developed, this supporting infrastructure must be built. This project will wind a way to determine the best road and transmission connection options for different potential renewable energy projects in the early planning stages. This will enable better estimates of project cost before an investment decision must be made. These estimates will be useful in determining which projects to develop to meet future energy needs. The method developed in the project will also be extensible to work in combination with other planning activities.

Simulation thermomécanique des barres pour hydro alternateurs etcaractérisation des interfaces

Les courants très élevés circulant dans les enroulements des grandes machines tournantes utilisées dans les centrales hydro-électriques entraînent la génération d’une température élevée au niveau du cuivre ainsi que du ruban isolant. Ces températures élevées entraînent à leur tour des contraintes mécaniques dues aux contractions et dilations des matériaux lesquelles peuvent mener à des fissurations du matériau isolant. Le but de ce projet est de modéliser sur une barre d’alternateurs hydro-électrique ces contraintes thermo-mécaniques survenant lors des essais de cyclage thermique. Pour ce faire, une simulation par éléments finis sera effectuée à l’aide d’un logiciel adapté à ce type de simulations.

Étude coût-efficacité de la technologie FreeO2 pour les patients MPOC

Ce projet vise à établir le rapport coût-efficacité de la technologie FreeO2 chez les patients MPOC (maladie pulmonaire obstructive chronique) hospitalisés suite à une exacerbation. La technologie FreeO2 est un nouveau dispositif d’oxygénation
des patients lors de leur séjour à l’hôpital. En utilisant une titration automatique du débit d’oxygène, il est attendu que les patients resteront moins longtemps sous oxygénation et qu’ils pourront retourner plus tôt à leur domicile. En démontrant que la technologie FreeO2 est plus efficace que la technologie actuelle (réglage manuel du débit), c’est-à-dire qu’elle permet de parvenir aux mêmes résultats cliniques (voire meilleurs) en un délai plus court, des économies de coûts seront alors possibles pour le réseau de la santé au Québec et ailleurs. Dépendamment du prix de vente de la technologie FreeO2, les résultats obtenus par notre étude, permettront aux hôpitaux d’améliorer l’efficience et la qualité de leurs soins et à la compagnie Oxynov de mieux pénétrer le marché.

Image matching for purposes of consumer recommendation

The purpose of this project is to develop a highly accurate e-commerce recommender system able to select products across databases and recommend them to prospective customers both in real-time and off-line. Leveraging the historical inventory of sold products, browsing history, purchase history, and expressed preferences helps the recommender to formulate highly accurate product suggestions to find closest matches to what a consumer is looking for. Consumers will instantly be shown other products similar to what she/he is looking at as well as an assortment of other products that complement it. For example, a prospective customer looking at blouses of a certain type will be shown other blouses of the same look and style as well as other well-matched pants, bracelets, earrings and purse.

Design and fabrication of a mechanical tarp system

This project undertakes the design and fabrication of a new headboard for mechanical tarp systems for flatbed trailers. At present, there are a number of problems including on-time supply of headboards, shipping, waste scrap, and health and safety of drivers. With this project a new design will be proposed and then fabricated using the computer aided design (CAD) systems. And safety analysis will be performed using the finite element analysis technique. Materials selection will be done according to required properties by taking consideration of cost. A manufacturing process will be proposed for the fabrication of headboard on the principle of reducing waste and providing a valued product to the end customers. Life cycle cost analysis will provide an indication of costs associated and profit margins over the coming years. This will help the organization to reduce their dependency on other manufactures and to provide fast services to their end customers.

Foundation design system for FortisBC’s power poles

Traditional design method for the foundation of the transmission poles simply assigns a standard set of depths based on the length and diameter of poles. Although, this method has proven to be conservative and reliable, but it does not incorporate site-specific soil properties, water table, and weather conditions in its calculations. As a result, a new foundation design system which will integrate site specific conditions for each pole will provide more safe, economical, and reliable performance of transmission poles for the long-term benefit of FortisBC.

Coordination et optimisation des opérations entre un manufacturier et un prestataire logistique

Dans un souci de performance et de compétitivité, les entreprises du secteur manufacturier (agroalimentaire, automobile, pharmaceutique…) sont de plus en plus nombreuses à se concentrer uniquement sur leur travail de production et tendent à sous-traiter certaines de leurs activités tels que l’entreposage ou le transport.
Ainsi, l’intervention de plusieurs entreprises, avec des stratégies et des intérêts différents, rend parfois complexe la gestion de la chaine logistique. En effet, la coordination de ces activités est souvent problématique dans la mesure où les contraintes sont nombreuses et pour le moins sous-évaluées. De manière générale, ces collaborations souffrent d’un manque de suivi de leurs performances et les outils de gestion utilisés sont parfois inadaptés. L’objectif de ce projet est de mettre en place une procédure de contrôle et d’optimisation des activités de façon à ce que ce type d’alliance logistique soit toujours la plus efficace possible.

Development of novel methodology for the monitoring of astaxanthin production for Myera Group

The market for health food supplements is a large and growing sector of the Canadian economy. The biotechnology that underpins this industry requires a close collaboration between private industry and academic researchers. The development of supplements that target specific health effects is a significant driving force behind the investigation of new products. Astaxanthin, a carotenoid which is derived from beta-carotene, has been investigated for a wide range of positive health benefits. Myera Group (which includes Myera Fuel) is developing a biotechnological process for the production of astaxanthin as a commercial product from fermentation cultures of a microorganism. This proposal describes a project where the Sorensen research lab in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Manitoba will develop novel methodology for the determination of astaxanthin content (among other carotenoids) in the fermentation cultures. This is an essential process that Myera Group cannot easily develop on their own and for which the Sorensen group has existing
expertise.

Prototype Behavior Based Integrity Verification (BBIV)

Web computing, in which the world-wide web is itself employed as a distributed computing platform, is entering a stage of rapid expansion with the advent of Open Web Platform so that programs that once worked only a native environment on desktop, tablets or phones can now work from within a browser itself. There is therefore a need for a new form of protection for apps. Existing security models are inadequate to address emerging threats to applications in low-cost, highly-exposed environments, because they fail to protect data and code on exposed consumer terminal devices of the network, which are vulnerable to attacks directly accessing their hardware and software. Irdeto developed a new approach for protecting such applications based on novel methods of integrity-verification, which permit the implemented validated integrity to serve as a root of trust. This project is part of this research to prototype BBIV concept and investigate the engineering issues for this security capability.
