Analyse des conversations lors de la prise de rendez-vous: application aux échanges par SMS

L’entreprise partenaire Agendize propose à ses clients une application web et mobile pour prendre des rendez-vous avec ses entreprises partenaires. Cependant, cette interface restreint l’expression des besoins de l’utilisateur en plus d’imposer une connexion internet ou le
téléchargement d’une application. Par ailleurs, le concept d’informatisation de prise de rendezvous se limite à l’idée d’ordonnancement de calendriers et ne prend pas en compte la négociation qui s’instaure habituellement entre deux parties pour convenir d’un rendez-vous. Ce projet vise à concevoir un système permettant à un utilisateur de prendre un rendez-vous par l’intermédiaire d’une négociation par SMS, en langage naturel. Cette innovation permettra à l’utilisateur de dialoguer avec le système pour fixer un rendez-vous correspondant à ses besoins et à la disponibilité du calendrier de l’entreprise partenaire visée.

Developing a Novel Physiologically Driven Life Optimization Engine

Recent studies show that chronic stress levels have increased by 30% in the last 3 decades[1]. The objective of this project is to place humans at the center of a new mobile-based platform called the Life Optimization Engine (LION). The goal is to optimize human performance via self-modulation through physiological feedback programs. LION will use machine learning to identify and analyze
signatures in key biometrics captured by MagniWare’s novel bio-sensor (e.g. heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing rate, temperature, movement). We expect to identify a number of classification systems and discover a number of latent correlations between human behaviour and physiology (e.g. stress, focus, cardiovascular health, etc…). Benjamin and Chris will apply their skills in order to develop LION and refine the MagniWare bio-sensing capabilities respectively. This research project is of relevance to MagniWare as it is core to the development of its technologies.

Encapsulation de méthionine à des fins d’alimentation bovine

La mise au point d’une formule de méthionine enrobée pour l’alimentation des ruminants fait l’objet de ce projet. Une fois la formule établie, l’établissement des couts et de la mise à l’échelle sera aussi étudiée. La biodisponibilité de la méthionine, un acide aminé qui est souvent en carence dans l’alimentation des ruminants, est faible. Ainsi, il est préférable d’administrer de la méthionine enrobée dans un coating qui améliore la disponibilité. Actuellement, il n’existe pas à notre connaissance de procédé Canadien pour cet enrobage, et les
producteurs locaux s’approvisionnent avec des stocks provenant de l’étranger.

Commercial Mortgage Backed Security Sensitivity Analysis

All credit portfolios, whether global, regional or commercial real estate face uncertainty in losses. In retrospective, it is evident that variation in credit quality is substantial and default risk can increase quickly and in correlation with the macro-environment. Even in the aggregate, loss variability cannot be completely eliminated by diversification. The challenge for every risk or portfolio manager is to measure and understand the economic risks in their portfolio and ensure they are properly compensated. The purpose of this research is to research on modeling methodology for credit instruments and design a model to reduce miscalculations in risk and pricing in credit instrument, such as commercial mortgage backed securities(CMBS) or residential mortgage backed securities(RMBS) and help to address the challenges faced by credit risk or credit portfolio managers.

Aération des turbines hydrauliques pour une augmentation du taux d’oxygène dissous dans l’eau en aval : étude d’une méthode numérique prédictive

Les turbines hydrauliques sont utilisées pour la génération propre d’électricité. Dans les barrages, l’eau emmagasinée à parfois tendance à se «stratifier» en plusieurs couches. Celles se trouvant dans la partie inférieure peuvent devenir pauvre en oxygène et une fois que l’eau s’y trouvant sera passée dans la turbine, elle ressortira avec un taux d’oxygène trop faible pour la survie de la faune marine, ce qui peut causer la mort d’une grande quantité de poissons. Plusieurs techniques d’oxygénation de l’eau à la sortie des turbines existent, mais celles-ci peuvent encore être améliorées significativement. Ces techniques ont souvent le fâcheux effet de réduire le rendement global des turbines. Ce stage permettra l’exploration de nouvelles méthodes numériques afin de prédire le processus d’oxygénation de l’eau. Ces méthodes seront utilisées pour simuler différentes configurations afin d’améliorer l’efficacité des techniques en place tout en minimisant les pertes de rendement dans les turbines.

Measuring Indicators of Community Health and Holistic Well-Being Based on Future Land Use and Transportation Planning Scenarios using Geographic Information Systems

Urban design and transportation investments may have a significant impact on the health and well-being of the people and environments; however, it is often difficult to measure these impacts or predict how long term growth may improve or disrupt a community. This project will
begin with a literature review to identify built environment indicators that have been linked to positive population health and holistic well-being outcomes at a community scale. A framework will then be developed to measure these indicators to support development of an Official Community Plan for Abbotsford, British Columbia. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) will be used to measure healthy built environment indicators such as: walkability, bikeability, access to transit, commute length, air pollution, population density, social interaction, and access to nature. Three future urban growth scenarios will be constructed in GIS and the indicators will be compared for each scenario. This project will assist local government stakeholders in understanding the potential impacts of different urban planning approaches, and in ultimately creating urban planning policies that may improve the population health and holistic well-being of the community.

Catalyst Coated Membrane Conditioning

Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell production facility must condition rolls of catalyst coated membrane [CCM] material to specific humidity and temperature conditions before using CCM in the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cell manufacturing process. Rolls of CCM material are conditioned in a clean room for a fixed time upon delivery to the facility. The fixed time conditioning period was established based on previous testing of when a single type of CCM laid flat. To ensure CCM have dimensional stability, the CCM roll must have uniform water content. Ionic and electronic conductivity is proportional to water content so a CCM will be uniformly conditioned when they equilibrate. The roll conditioning time can be determined when a signal clearly indicates that ionic and/or electronic conductivity has reached a steady state.
A testing apparatus and process will be developed to quantitatively measure whether a CCM roll has been conditioned uniformly. This can improve knowledge of conditioning time requirements; improve quality assurance by tailoring conditioning time to individual types of CCM material and thickness; and possibly reduce the fixed time conditioning process to reduce overall fuel cell manufacturing time.

Establishing Anxiety Detection Algorithm using Smart Wearables

Snug Vest is a wearable jacket that reduces anxiety using Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT). Snug Vest can be improvised by automating the therapy as the person wearing the vest gets anxious. In the current research, we aim to develop an anxiety detecting algorithm to calculate the real-time anxiety value using different bio data obtained from wearable sensors. The anxiety value calculated will automate the therapy of the vest. The software will also enable the person wearing the jacket to manually control the therapy, and is responsible for cloud storage of anxiety value. The anxiety level calculated in real-time will be visualized. Using the anxiety detection algorithm and cloud for data storage, the partner organization will improve their current product, Snug Vest. The intern is benefitted by gaining industry experience on wearables.
