This study will conduct a marine multi-stakeholder usage assessment for commercial, recreational and cultural purposes for potential tidal energy developments in Campbell River, BC. Tidal energy harnesses the daily movements of tides through confined waterways to produce electrical energy. Given that Campbell River is a busy multi-use marine port, planning estimates must be done in […]

Ensuring fabric longevity involves effective stain removal in both wet and dry cleaning. While wet cleaning is eco-friendly, it can damage fabric and consume resources. Dry cleaning, though superior for certain stains, poses environmental and health risks. This study seeks to enhance Vilimont Inc.’s oil and tar-based stain removers by 40-60%, with a focus on […]

Wosler’s mission is to “To improve accessibility and reliability of high-quality healthcare for all”. In order to achieve this we must be able to provide high quality imaging services to those in rural and remote areas. The ability to transmit high quality ultrasound images to a remote computer is an integral step for the development […]

Biomass combustion, which is a growing business, is used to generate heat and power. It is a very attractive system because it provides energy at cheaper price compared to oil and gas fuels and also emits fewer pollutants into the atmosphere. As the name implies, the combustion system is fired using renewable fuels such as […]

Le projet de recherche proposé consiste à développer une stratégie pour collecter des données géospatiales à partir de services en ligne tels que Mapillary et Kartaview. L’objectif est d’obtenir des images contenant des ponts et d’annoter ces images en identifiant les ponts et les panneaux indiquant la hauteur des ponts. Ensuite, nous affinerons les modèles […]

En se référant aux normes B55.1 et B55.2 publiées par Groupe CSA, l’efficacité ainsi que les pertes de charge de différents modèles de récupérateurs de chaleur des eaux grises seront établies dans le cadre de ce projet. Les résultats de recherche permettront à l’entreprise partenaire de vérifier les taux d’efficacité de leurs récupérateurs de chaleur […]

The increasing applications of high-voltage direct current technology in long-distance bulk power transmission have resulted in multi-infeed systems, where multiple inverters are located within mutual electrical vicinity. Many of these systems use the line-commutated converter, which may suffer the commutation failure (CF) when a thyristor valve does not turn off at the desired instant. The […]

The project focuses on developing a ‘Question-and-Answer’ (Q&A) system over lifecycle information of infrastructure elements (such as bridges), which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to efficiently search and organize information. The developed system will efficiently search through a large variety of data, ranging from text-based documents to spreadsheets, to provide accurate answers to specific questions. This […]

Long-term decision making strategic investment planning under the condition of great uncertainty is of great importance to power utilities such as Manitoba Hydro. However, existing analysis methods lack the definition of clear formal methods to define the framework for these uncertainties nor to coordinate the decision-making methodologies to support the definition of robust investment programme […]

Le présent projet a pour objectif de programmer des automates directement à partir de diagrammes SFC et Ladder créés dans Automation Studio™. Cette programmation doit préserver les fonctionnalités des logiques de contrôle : l’exécution de la logique de contrôle dans Automation Studio™ doit produire les mêmes résultats une fois que ladite logique est traduite et […]

It’s generally well-accepted that some technical teams are more agile than others in their market. These traits are often associated with startups, and statements like “Startups move faster” are rarely challenged. We would like to observe these organizations in their natural habitat, collect data across a wide range of activities, and find correlations between these […]

In this research project, interns will work on blending the world of video games with blockchain technology – a kind of secure, online record-keeping system that’s behind things like Ethereum. The goal is to find a way to let game players own, trade, and manage their in-game items (like special character outfits or tools) more […]
