In this proposed research, a MEMS quasi]static micromirror will be developed for laser beam steering for various applications such as projection displaying of CAD drawing for assembly of complex parts and biomedical microscopies for tissue and cardiovascular imaging and cancer and tumor detection. The micromirror to be developed is able to overcome the limitations of […]

Integrating human factors (HF) considerations into the design of production systems can improve productivity and quality results while reducing injury risks to system operators. The researchers are currently conducting an action research study with Canadian electronics manufacturer Research in Motion (RIM) to improve their production system design process (PSDP) and thereby their production systems by […]

In this work, a real-time feasible Multiple Hypothesis Tracker will be developed for multiple targets tracking. A computationally feasible approximated version of MHT will be compared against the robabilistic Data Association (PDA) based Tracker as well as multi-frame assignment based multitarget tracker. Intensive testing will also be performed in order to determine the performance, complexity, […]

Mercury arc lamps are used in commercial water treatment reactors to provide ultraviolet radiation to disinfect the water or to break down chemical contaminants. These reactors may contain 50 to 100 lamps in a single vessel. In a relatively clear medium like water, a significant fraction of the radiation from one lamp is incident on […]

Software testing in one of the imporant phases in software development process and has a significant impact on the final product quality. However, the spent cost and time for testing are high, and often increase after several releases. This project aims at test case selection and prioritization at Research in Motion (RIM) Company. The objective […]

This project seeks to simplify the development and management of business processes deployed on a distributed Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The target architecture is an enterprise system with distributed services coordinated by application workflows or business processes. Declarative goals, specified in Service Level Agreements (SLA), are used to assist in the development of such applications, […]

Building a mathematical model of how user behaves on a website is a useful method for determining what a user does and does not like. This model allows for information relevant to a user to be presented without having the user go out and find the information by themselves. These types of systems, generally known […]

This project involves working with researchers at the Bloorview Kids Rehab in Toronto to aid them in developing safer and more advanced brain]computer machines for individuals with severe physical limitations. The intern is developing a computer-based visual analytics tool that will help them further interpret the data they are collecting about brain activity. This tool […]

Worksafe BC (WSBC) is an organization dedicated to promoting workplace health and safety for workers and employers across the province through regulatory enforcement, education and by offering workers insurance and compensation services. On an ongoing basis, WSBC invests substantial funds in safety awareness and injurt prevention programs. Intuitively these programs result in improved safety performance […]

This project encompasses the development of a suite of algorithms for spectrum sensing and awareness, and integration and testing in the partner company’s radio systems. The algorithms concern joint signal detection, modulation classification, and parameter estimation. In this project, the theoretical findings and experimental studies will complement each other, with the target outcome of adding […]

MRF Geosystems Corporation is an experienced Geographical Information System (GIS) firm specializing in GIS-related application development, data conversion and GIS consulting services. This project will be focused on developing an online geospatial data analysis platform which offers clustering function and map visualization with a spatial data clean module. This will be achieved by two main […]

Syncrude Canada is one of the largest producer of synthetic crude oil for oilsands in the world, and the largest producer in Canada. Syncrude Canada uses the fluid coking process to upgrade bitumen. During the fluid coking process, coke is continuously transferred to the burner where air is used to burn some of the coke […]
