STMicroelectronics has designed a new multicore processor STHORM, which is now going into production. This system promises significant improvements in performance per unit of energy, but poses new challenges in programming. Unlike conventional processors, STHORM does not automatically move program data between various levels of the processor’s memory system. This is one of the reasons […]

During the intended internship, the industry partner aims to develop machinery for the niche tool grinding sector that can potentially boost current industry technology. This machinery targets immediate launch to market a unique CNC grinding system to be characterized by an unsurpassed flexibility owed to its 14 motion controlled axes, with multiple serial manipulator robots […]

Many aerospace parts on Boeing aircrafts cannot currently be easily repaired when damaged during operation due to the lack of existing economical-practical repair technologies. For example, damaged aluminum coatings or chromium plating require that the coating/plating be completely removed and then reapplied, an extremely costly and time consuming process. Similarly, aluminum and titanium parts damaged […]

The purpose of the research is to describe the nature of university policies and practices related to gendered violence at Canadian universities, in order to identify promising practices for preventing and responding to gendered violence. A description and analysis of university policies from across Canada will provide a useful context for evaluating the policies on […]

This project aims to develop and evaluate new geometric modeling algorithms of power line and building objects, which are required for conducting power-line related asset risk analysis in challenging environment considering wind blowing effects.The project also aims to integrate newly developed algorithms into York University’s in-house power line modeling test bed and evaluate their performance […]

The fan assembly is a critical component of a Thrust Cushion Vehicle (TCV) designed by Slipstream Vehicles Ltd. It provides both the lift and thrust for the TCV. However, given the novelty of the patented fan, there is insufficient data to predict the fan performance. This project will focus on development of a new set of […]

This study will assess the behaviour, physiology and reproduction of individual birds breeding on reclaimed mine tailings, and will provide a robust measure of the effectiveness of reclamation efforts on the Highland Valley Copper operating area. By examining a range of life-history traits in two ecologically distinct species, and comparing birds breeding on reclaimed mine […]

Natural gas use in transportation sector has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy truck, marine, light duty vehicles, and rail transport with a 20-30% reduction. It is proposed that a comprehensive scoping of research priorities related to natural gas vehicles and refueling infrastructure be undertaken. The outcome of this work would be […]

This project seeks to develop GPU based versions of CPU implemented Subsurface scattering shaders. Rendering in video games and movies require increasingly complex simulation of skin and other effects from translucent materials As a visual effects solution provider, Cebus Visual Technology is very interested in implementing their shaders on the GPU to increase the computational […]

In this project, we focus on increasing sales in e-commerce shops by offering purchasing incentives to shoppers who are likely to leave without buying. More specifically, our goal is to predict which shoppers are likely to abandon their shopping cart and what can be done while they’re still on the site to customize their shopping […]

Whether it is for research, development or diagnostics, life sciences typically require the quantitation and characterization of samples with assays that classically measure molecules one at a time. Considering that the development and execution of such assays are time consuming and requires considerable investment, the uses of multiplexed analysis would be highly advantageous. Mass spectrometry […]

Developing subject-based social media requires proper interaction with the users by learning and analyzing their profile and dynamically incorporating their opinion. In this project, a crowd-based profiling of users with respect to their peers will be developed and confidence factor calculated based on the collective opinion of the crowd will be assigned to the individuals’ […]
