Ekona Power Inc is developing a technology to convert natural gas into H2, electricity, and a solid carbon stream. The solid carbon stream will then be sequestered. Their approach involves two reactors. The first reactor combusts natural gas and oxygen to provide the process heat to the second reactor. The second reactor heats natural gas […]

Parking is a cumbersome part of auto travel in urban areas, primarily due to lack of information on the location of available spots. Sensors can be deployed to detect occupancy, but they often fail due to their high costs and detection inefficiencies in outdoor spaces. This project pursues a feasibility study of using LIDAR sensors, […]

Electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly popular because of their high efficiency and sustainability. However, EVs represent an intensive electric load. Their penetration to the power system poses significant challenges to power distribution system operation and control, such as voltage drop and transformer overload. This study will evaluate the impact of EV penetration on Saskatchewan’s […]

The use of machine learning and big data in production is still in its early stages as only a limited amount of data is used. This research aims to improve productivity by determining factors affecting downtime. Changeover’s time and performance rate improvement during production will be addressed considering not only equipment data and product data […]

Education software is abundant on the web, but few support the analysis of students’ performance and test difficulty over user-defined questions and learning objectives. The idea of this project is to create a computer program to provide educators with insights on student performance on assessment items and perceived and actual assessment item difficulty within fine-grained […]

Today’ssociety consumes chemicals daily in its food, in care products but also thecomposition of pharmaceutical drugs, research on methods of extracting cannabisoils and their therapeutic effects support and emphasizes-for the productionof more effective and beneficial drugs for health with fewer side effects,thanks to its virtues and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuro-regulatorycapacities, capable of contributing to the […]

Le projet de recherche proposé ici se concentre sur la formulation de structures de chaussées municipales contenant un fort taux de matériaux recyclés à froid. De plus, en recyclant à froid, on peut construire des chaussées qui respectent les principes du développement durable. Il reste toutefois du travail à faire pour optimiser les formulations de […]

Il est bien connu que certains problèmes inhérents au soudage par fusion des alliages d’aluminium comme le soudage TIG ou le soudage MIG ne se rencontrent pas en soudage par friction malaxage (FSW en anglais). Le FSW permet une soudure à l’état solide qui donne une zone affectée thermiquement moins importante, ayant des propriétés mécaniques […]

The proposed project is an extension of an ongoing project with American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), which aims to develop a performance-based winterization guideline for assets operating in harsh environments. The project has led to a novel approach of assessing need of winterization and evaluating extent of winterization required to maintain assets in safe operating […]

Thales Canada, Transportation Solutions has a long history of developing automated train systems. The company has designed a new autonomous train system that contains a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), e.g., GPS, sensor input using corrected GNSS measurements. Thales and York University’s GNSS Laboratory are proposing in this Mitacs Accelerate proposal that one senior doctoral […]
