Heart valve disease affects a large number of Canadians, especially the elderly. Surgery for repairing heart valves is quite complex and requires a great deal of expertise. This project will focus on creating a library of silicone valve models representing different heart valve diseases using mathematical descriptions. With these silicone models, new cardiac surgeons will […]

With the successful demonstration of HARVEST (formerly POWER) system with Pizza Pizza, this project focuses on adapting the HARVEST system for use with gas-fired fryers and demonstrate the proven waste heat recovery technology in a full-service restaurant (FSR) operated by Recipe Unlimited. Being a fuel-less, carbon-free water heating system that acts as a drop-in replacement […]

Centralized repository for use cases, which serve as actionable scenarios for identifying and responding to security […]

The meaningful issues that are deeply-rooted in the Downtown East Toronto include poverty, homelessness, housing, community safety, mental health, substance use and the drug poisoning crisis. Challenges accessing formal systems for support and resources results from experiences with overlapping systems of exclusion and intersecting points of oppressions like stigma, racism or gender. The main question […]

The primary objective of this research is to enhance fraud detection in cheques by implementing a comprehensive approach that addresses anomalies in formatting, signatures, and other critical elements. With a focus on fortifying bank applications against financial malpractices, our goal is to develop a robust fraud localization system. To achieve this, we will utilize a […]

Despite significant development of various construction materials, masonry is still considered as one of the most cost-effective materials. However, they are often vulnerable to wind-induced lateral loads caused during construction stage (within 1 to 2 days of construction) when the masonry is yet to achieve full strength. Temporary bracing systems are often used to support […]

Dans ce projet, on propose de produire du mobilier urbain (pièces extérieures) à partir de matières 100% recyclées. Pour ce faire, des plastiques flexibles (films, pellicules, sacs, etc.) en fin de vie seront récupérés pour être utilisés ensemble (mélanges de résines) ou avec l’ajout d’autres résidus solides. Ces résidus seront sélectionnés parmi les matières disponibles […]

Supplemental lighting for greenhouse production, such as LED lights, is essential for greenhouse producers in Northern climates. HPS lights are currently the most used supplemental light, but they are approximately two times less power efficient compared to LED. Unfortunately, LEDs manufactured for horticultural purposes are very expensive compared to industrial full-spectrum High Bay LEDs, which […]

Rydberg atom-based sensors are a room temperature quantum technology for detecting radio frequency waves. These sensors have advantages such as electromagnetic transparency and ultrabroadband carrier frequency detection capability that are not possible to obtain with conventional antennas. The advantages lead to a host of applications in radio frequency technologies such as communications, particularly 5G and […]

Vancouver non-profit 221A is interested in using decentralized ledger technology (DLT) to offer secure, reliable, context preserving, cost-efficient, and carbon-neutral permanent storage services for digital cultural work. This research project will identify a storage solution for 221A that will preserve digital assets in the long term. Final outputs include a whitepaper and presentation deck featuring […]
