User-Side Analyses of the Effect of Laser Data Uncertainties on Mapping Applications

Manufacturers’ specifications for laser data acquisition have been used since the inception of the technology over a decade ago [Habib et. al., 2008; Ussyshkin et. al, 2006]. However, unbiased geostatistical analysis would be valuable in determining – in a pre-analysis stage – whether or not user-demanded specifications for project-specific mapping applications can be met or […]

Wireless Energy Transfer for Low Power Charging Applications

  Wireless energy transfer is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without interconnecting wires. Wireless energy transmission has distinct advantages over the conventional energy transmission which uses wires and connectors.  The most common form of wireless power transmission is through inductive coupling in which the magnetic field generated by a primary coil […]

Single Frequency RTK Technology for Handheld GPS

  Traditional GPS RTK system requires at least two receivers one of which serves as base station with known coordinates. Assuming separation between base and rover receivers is not too long, for example 10 km, spatial correlations for GPS observation errors are pretty significant. Base station can be used to correct rover observations. As a […]

Visualization of the cool-flame and hot flame combustion process within the IQT™

There is an interest in the optical determination of the combustion process within the IQT™. This would be performed using optical probes integrated within the IQT™. From these probes, the location of the cool-flame and hot combustion process will be identified for different fuels within the IQT. Along with the location of combustion, the ignition […]

Feasibility and usability of ultrasound in aiding breast tumor detection

In this research we propose to carry out a feasibility study to identify an ultrasound transducer that can be used specifically for breast cancer tumor detection. This transducer will be interfaced with the available Ultrasonix Elastrography System at SFU. This will be the most significant part of the proposed research. It will include assimilation of […]

Design and evaluation of Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities(CHILD) as perceived by children with severe developmental disabilities

  Cerebral Palsy(CP) is a brain developmental disorder and a major cause of chronic childhood disability. It affects about 2 to 2.5 children per 1000 live births. Children with CP have varying symptoms affecting communication, health and specially mobility depending on the severity of the disorder. Children with severe CP usually have very limited mobility […]

Low-Energy Transfer Trajectory Design and Optimization for Space Exploration

  Design tradeoff must be made between the scientific payload and the spacecraft platform in a space mission. Scientists often want to have as many instruments as possible on the spacecraft and they also want to be able to use those instruments until the end of the mission. The scientist’s desire for many instruments translates […]
