Narrow-vein steeply dipping deposits are challenging to mine economically because they are poorly oriented for surface mining, and underground mining normally requires development of extensive underground infrastructure before mining the vein. Memorial University is collaborating with Novamera for the development of innovative narrow-vein mining technology called Sustainable Mining by Drilling (SMD). The SMD technology is […]

The current project aims to design and optimize the cryogenic CO2 capture process in terms of CO2 removal efficiency and energy requirement. The serious concern of global warming due to increasing CO2 emission has urged policymakers to employ various CO2 capture methods. Note that among different CO2 capture methods, the cryogenic capture is a favorable […]

Moderco Inc. produit des cloisons amovibles en vitrage double qui doivent respecter des exigences d’isolation acoustique, principalement vis-à-vis des bruits de conversation. De façon générale, la double cloison (deux panneaux séparés par une cavité d’air) est un principe de construction très répandu, qui garantit une perte par transmission acoustique élevée en même temps qu’une structure […]

Many seniors are spending their time lying in bed or sitting in recumbent chairs because of chronic conditions that limit their mobility. It is crucial to assure that their position is changed regularly to prevent bedsores. Therefore, a monitoring system is required to not only remind the caregivers or family members to reposition the patients […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100 – 150 words) A series of laboratory tests and field trials will be carried out to validate the capability and performance […]

Through the outlined objectives and methodologies, this project aims at evaluating the performance of the solvent assisted bitumen recovery techniques under various operation scenarios and in presence of reservoir heterogeneities. The objectives are fulfilled through advance numerical reservoir simulation studies, detailed review of the present technologies, and analyzing the laboratory/field production results. Ms. Fazlyeva will […]

The steel industry in Canada encounters some challenges to have sustainable and efficient steel production. One of these challenges is identifying bottlenecks accurately in steel fabrication workstations. The goal of the proposed research project is to improve work productivity for the partner company (Ocean Steel). The research work included conducting a literature review to evaluate […]

AIM Colours is looking to revolutionize self-expression by combining cosmetics with technology through the creation of eCosmetics. We envision eCosmetic applications as devices that can be continuously colour-manipulated from any mobile device, creating a world where anyone can be empowered by make-up instantaneously. This project requires the seamless integration of engineering and science to ensure […]

Solar energy offers a green energy future both for Canada and the world. To best collect this energy, solar farms, collections of solar panels, are often distributed to ensure efficient local collection. Weather is often a challenge for production; however, the failure of components can also adversely affect this as well. These failures can be […]

The main objective of this project is to investigate, develop and evaluate state-of-the-art artificial-intelligence (AI) algorithms for the automatic recognition of extremely diversified barcode instances, in complex, highly variable and non-controlled scenes. The application area is of high interest to the industrial partner, and the ultimate goal is to build a state-of-the-art, automated and well-calibrated […]

Spray painting in the automotive manufacturing industry is an extremely difficult technical challenge. Approximately 25% of cars coming off the assembly line must be reworked or scrapped due to a poor paint job. Previous research has shown that the droplet size distribution of the paint being applied to the car is important for the final […]

Anaerobic digestion ias a process that converts the organic waste into methane-enriched biogas and fertilizer by combined action of a mixed community of microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. Fraser Vallet Biogas Ltd. operates BC’s first anaerobic digester that utilizes on-farm and off-farm waste to generate biogas (Methane) and digestate. Crrently the digestate produced is […]
