Évaluation de la viabilité du LIDAR dans la cartographie précise des dégradations de la route et transposition des données acquises dans une interface graphique.

La première partie de ce projet est d’évaluer la télédétection par laser ou LIDAR (« light detection and ranging ») en tant qu’outil pour cartographier les routes. La deuxième partie consiste à transposer les données acquises lors de la cartographie dans une interface graphique, telle que Google Earth, par exemple. À l’heure actuelle, les informations relatives à l’état des routes, telles que notre projet le propose, sont inexistantes. Par conséquent, il n’existe pas non plus de dispositif pour lire et interpréter les données recueillies, c’est donc ce que nous proposons ici.

Remediation of Contaminated Soil and Groundwater using Nanotechnologies – Year two

Contamination in soil and groundwater tends to be overlooked since their adverse impact does not appear exteriorly and instantaneously. However, the contaminants could potentially cause adverse impact on vegetation and human health by migrating off the contaminated site through groundwater flow, and also influence climate change through cycling of elements. Recently, demand for remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater has been raised due to increasing public awareness about environmental problems. Especially in Canada, public and media attentions have been grown up for the soil contamination associated with oil and gas development. A number of contaminated sites have not been cleaned up due to the high remediation cost with current remediation technologies. The proposed technology in this project will provide cost-effective and highly efficient remediation methods for the contaminated sites which employ novel nanomaterials and energy-efficient heating sources.

New High Precision GNSS Positioning and Navigation System Using Triple-frequency GNSS Signals – Year two

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a next generation precise positioning technology using GNSS and is expected to be adopted in more and more applications. To date, all PPP systems available on the market are dual-frequency based systems and long positioning convergence time has limited its wide applications. With the progress of the GNSS modernization, triple-frequency signals are becoming available, which will shed light to overcome this challenge. It is expected all GNSS satellites will broadcast triple-frequency signals by 2020, which offer opportunities for technology innovation and new product development. This project aims to develop a real-time triple-frequency GNSS PPP system with fast positioning convergence capability. The major tasks include the investigation of triple-frequency signal bias variations, the development of processing strategies for observable-specific signal bias (OSB) determination, and fast triple-frequency PPP ambiguity resolution. A prototype system will be developed to assess the performance of the system for product development.

Process Development of Volatile Cobalt ALD Precursors

Cobalt thin-films have found widespread applications in microelectronics devices; such as liners in copper interconnects, wetting layers, and caps, in addition to applications for magnetic devices and CoSi2 contacts. CVD and ALD techniques are typically used to achieve cobalt films between 2-5 nm thick with excellent conformalities and negligible resistance increase. Leading precursors for cobalt thin-film deposition include cyclopentadienylcobalt dicarbonyl and dicobalt(hexacarbonyl)tert-butylacetylene. While methods to prepare these precursors are well established, their scalability and/or process robustness for metric ton manufacturing remains unclear. Moreover, their stability profiles are not well understood, and data describing their decomposition is fleeting. In order to support optimum CVD/ALD precursor delivery temperatures, extended thermal stability of precursors is important. This project aims to develop scalable manufacturing processes to produce cyclopentadienylcobalt dicarbonyl and dicobalt(hexacarbonyl)tert-butylacetylene, and seek to understand their thermal stabilities in both the liquid- and gas-phase, by probing their decomposition points and identifying their decomposition products.

Innovating towards the Circular Economy

The Canadian paint and coating industry had long established programs to collect residual paint from the household and recycle it into marketable products. By doing so, the industry protects the environment by recycling a significant amount of resources which used to end up in landfills as waste. However, such programs are currently costly for both the companies and consumers, due to extra costs of collecting and recycling. Despite the leadership of the industry in waste management programs, the industry intends to remain at the forefront of such programs.
This project aims to acquire an in-depth understanding of how different companies can pool their resources and capabilities and take actions that not only save the environment, but can also be efficient and economically viable. Such group actions are beyond the capabilities of any single company. By doing so, firms can collectively create a “circular economy;” a waste-free economy that minimizes the impact of manufacturing on the environment.

Rich Qualitative Assessment of the Whytecliff Learning Centres’ Therapeutic, Whole-School Approach to Early Intervention

The Whytecliff Learning Centres, managed by The Focus Foundation, have been proven successful in providing a learning environment for vulnerable students who were at risk of not graduating high school due to complex combinations of factors such as mental health issues, addiction, behavioural problems, special needs, and family circumstances. As part of a grant the Centres received from the BC Ministry of Education, the Foundation will report on the Whytecliff schools’ performance in terms of student outcomes, mental health, and the centres’ unique integrated approach to education. This project investigates how the unique learning environment achieves the results as quantitatively measured in student outcomes (such as attendance, course completion, and graduation rates), and qualitatively reflected in student and staff interviews. Detailed, data-driven documentation of the Centres’ successes may lead to continued support for the Focus Foundation, and could
support the translation of elements of its unique approach for implementation in other schools.

Solid electrolyte sodium-ion conductors for energy storage

Batteries are ideally suited for energy storage due to their pollution-free operation, high efficiency, flexible energy and power characteristics to meet different grid functions, cycle life, and low maintenance. The collaboration between the Thangadurai Group and Geometric Energy Corporation aims to develop a non-explosive, non-toxic, non-flammable all-solid-state sodium-ion battery using nanotechnology with a commercially competitive business case for applications in grid-scale battery storage, the electric vehicle industry, and consumer electronics. A solution is to instead use sustainable Earth-abundant and Earth-friendly materials by utilizing a highly abundant element, Na, instead of Li. Using a solid electrolyte, as opposed to a flammable liquid electrolyte, promises to improve the stability and thus the safety of battery technology. Highlights of the project include the extensive application of nanotechnology to aid in attaining a high performance, high stability next generation all-solid-state sodium-ion battery. TO BE CONT’D
