As future IoT infrastructure generates massive data in excess of exabytes, a unified architecture to handle Big Data is highly essential. Development of unified Big Data processing architecture for IoT infrastructure will provide a scalable and standard solution that addresses the problem of continuous increase in the volume of Big Data. Cloud networks provide necessary […]

This project will review water source alternatives for the Husky Lloydminster Upgrader Complex. These alternatives will be evaluating in terms of their relative economic, technical, social and environmental risks. The framework developed will provide a basis for conducting similar water risk assessments for other operations. The interns will research alternatives, risks, and develop the assessment […]

Le développement des fonctions qualité (DFQ) est un outil qui guide les équipes de conceptions de produit en tenant compte des besoins de l’usager. Dans le domaine de l’ergonomie, l’utilisation de cet outil est encore très peu documentée. Le projet consiste à documenter l’utilisation du DFQ dans un projet d’amélioration de l’ergonomie d’un produit. Le […]

The proposed project aims at the design and implementation of low complexity digital pre-distortion (DPD) algorithms for concurrent multiband wireless transmitters. The power amplifier (PA) is one of the major sources of power dissipation in wireless base stations. The DPD techniques enable the PA to operate in higher power levels where it has its highest […]

MakerBloks is a creative solution to introduce children to the world of electronics. Our first products, MakerBloks, are small, reactive, color-coded building block that allows the user to learn and build electronic circuits without any technical background. In order to bring electronics learning to a new level of interactivity, MakerBloks want to develop a block […]

A novel transmitter architecture which presents more power efficiency than that of the transmitters being used currently in mobile communication base stations is proposed in this research project. The result of this research fills the gap between the theoretical idea behind this transmitter structure and its practical usage in cellular network base stations. This transmitter […]

To support research and practices that aim to analyze and improve traffic systems, accurate traffic state estimation is required, which is usually based on ground truth data obtained from monitoring infrastructures. The most common way to monitor traffic nowadays is by using inductive loop detectors, the costs of which are too high to be used […]

The project’s goal is to create a system for cancelling unwanted noise in an area by using arrays of speakers and microphones. This system will perform active noise cancellation, as seen in high-end headphones, but does not require those benefiting from the system to wear any hardware. This permits active noise cancellation to support applications […]

The proposed research project is to develop a robust performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) methodology to quantify the seismic risks of large network of infrastructure such as the high-speed railway system in China. The project is anticipated to accomplish many goals. First, it will develop accurate numerical model to predict the seismic behavior of standard-span length […]

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has emerged as an eminent technology to address today’s growing energy crisis and environmental issues. PEMFC technology faces multiple challenges before widespread commercialization. Water transport inside a PEMFC has a significant impact on the cell performance and durability. In this internship a numerical model is implemented to study the […]

The overall objective of the proposed initiative is to develop a novel, automated and integrated harvesting system that will identify the root causes of increased loses; increase berry picking efficiency and product quality. The increased harvesting losses of wild blueberry crop during harvesting have pushed the growers and processors within the industry to set a […]
