This research project focuses on developing a compressed air energy transmission system as an alternative to the current electrical energy transmission system. Compressed air has the potential to be an efficient and cost-effective solution for storing energy from renewable sources like wind and solar. The project will focus on improving the efficiency of current compressed […]

Please conduct feasibility study on purchasing Parkdale school. We may have the opportunity to purchase the buy the school in the near future. We may be able to get the school for no cost as through and act of reconciliation, but we may also have to buy it outright. It is an older building and […]

Symbiotic EnviroTek Inc., developed and patented a proprietary technology for growing micro-algae for producing plant-based protein for human food, animal feed and for treating wastewater. The project includes engineering revision, fabrication and testing to certain subcomponents of technology to improve operational efficiencies and performance.

Stormflow Surfacing (SS) has developed permeable rubber pavement (SSPRP) from recycled automobile tires. Their product focuses on alleviating sewage system stress during precipitation events. While there are no strict guidelines to the formulation of permeable pavers, SS is interested in proactively establishing baseline values for water quality and subsequently, investigate the effects of environmental factors […]

The goal of our project is to develop a portable, laser-based technique for in-situ analysis of agricultural soils. This work will implement and enhance a technique known as Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for in-situ measurements of key soil properties, such as carbon content. LIBS is a minimally invasive detection technique, capable of rapid multielemental […]

Smart, battery-powered connected objects that communicate wirelessly are proliferating. Wireless communication can be challenging with multiple types of impairments that may cause errors in the exchanged messages, e.g., noise, interference, attenuation, and multipath propagation. Ultra-wideband (UWB) radios have emerged as a interesting choice for such operational context. Their distinctive attributes lead low power requisites and […]

Le recyclage des 4 millions de tonnes de déchets plastiques post-consommation produits chaque année est quasi-inexistant au Canada. Alors que les centres de traitement intermunicipaux sont capables de trier ces déchets, ils finissent en très grande partie enfouis faute de solution technique de recyclage mature et compétitive. L’ÉTS et ses partenaires souhaite créer un débouché […]

A new artificial intelligence based markerless motion capture technology could improve care children with difficulty walking. Marker-based gait assessments are often used to help make decisions about treatments. We will explore if this new markerless approach works in kids and specifically if it works in kids with difficulty walking. We will determine if this approach […]

Currently, aluminum is produced with the Hall-Héroult process. Usually, consumable carbon anodes are used, thus leading to high rate of emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment. Anodes based on a new carbon-free material are being developed in Québec by Elysis, which originated from a partnership between Alcoa and Rio Tinto. This would be very […]

This project will develop data-driven models for production performance analysis and optimization for solvent-assisted bitumen recovery operations and related processes. Effective operations of solvent processes are crucial for reducing GHG emissions associated with bitumen extraction processes. Although the recent developments in digital oilfield technologies have enabled real-time surveillance of downhole operating conditions and production data, […]

Microwave Imaging (MWI) is an emerging modality where the goal is to estimate the electrical properties of an object-of-interest. This is done by transmitting a microwave signal into the OI and collecting measurements outside the OI. The measurements are inputs to an optimization algorithm that solves for the unknown electrical properties. It has been proven […]

The project will be to build out the Android version of the Kwickadee dating app currently available on iOS. This will encompass a wide variety of feature sets including onboarding, login, profile creation, matching, date location selection, date setup and more to come! This will be a huge benefit to the partner organization as there […]
