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 […]

In 1985 a fictional avatar named Max Headroom became a common site in the entertainment industry as a digital presenter. This has evolved into a common commercial online entity known as a chatbot. The level of sophistication of these bots varies from company to company. Titan 1 Studios is interested in creating a high-fidelity intelligent […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

While OLED displays are now a relatively-mature technology, they have been almost exclusively targeting consumer electronics. As such, the ultimate goal of this ambitious collaboration will be to: Evaluate the technology and supply chain readiness of actual OLED and other emerging display technologies. Assess their potential for cockpit (critical) and cabin (passenger-level) aeronautics and train […]

Cette étude vise à analyser les stratégies de propriété intellectuelle durable adoptées par les startups œuvrant dans le domaine des technologies propres au Canada. L’objectif est de mieux comprendre les défis auxquels elles sont confrontées ainsi que les solutions qu’elles mettent en place. Pour ce faire, nous comparerons ces stratégies aux mécanismes gouvernementaux existants, tels […]

This research project centers on developing the Functional Impairment Rating Scale (FIRS), a new tool to better assess how people with neurological and mental health disorders can complete everyday tasks. Traditional assessment methods often rely on patients’ descriptions of their abilities or clinicians observations, which can miss important details. The FIRS aims to address this […]
