Incorporating the Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) into Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal (BIPV/T) system has the potential to reduce building heating and cooling costs and dependence on non-renewable heating fuels. ASHPs could boost the quality and quantity of heat output of a BIPV/T system by delivering a seasonal Coefficient of Performance (COP) of between 2.0 and […]

Ads keep the internet free. But, to keep them from becoming spam and degrading the user’s online experience, they need to be relevant to them. The traditional way the industry does this is by collecting a lot of information about every user and creating profiles that can be used to target users based on their […]

With the evolution of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in recent years, more and more researchers are setting their sights on the application research of the indoor environment. Indoor applications include industrial facility inspection, warehouse inventory management, health sector, search, and rescue, among others. However, the use of UAVs in these applications requires continuous high-accuracy positioning […]

AMD manages a very large code base that supports multiple graphics products, operating systems, and customers with multiple releases per year. With a high rate of innovation and corresponding code changes it is a daunting task to ensure a given change works correctly on all applicable configurations for every release. It is therefore imperative to […]

This project looks to examine the safety of the medication Pimavanserin, marketed under the brand name Nuplazid. Pimavanserin is prescribed to manage Parkinson’s Disease Psychosis, a common side effect of Parkinson Disease medications. This medication has already received regulatory approval in the United Stated by the Food and Drug Administration under a special program called […]

Urban population is facing unprecedented growth resulting in the need for additional agricultural resources. Traditional farming practices seem vulnerable to cater to urbanities’ needs, placing an additional burden on the food and agriculture system. Furthermore, the unsettling environmental impact of traditional farming practices has aroused the metropolitan population to search for alternatives, such as indoor […]

Durant les dernières années, de nouvelles méthodes d’analyse par ordinateur impliquant l’intelligence artificielle ont permis de grandement améliorer notre capacité à interpréter les signaux obtenus par électroencéphalographie pour des applications allant de la santé à la défense en passant par les sports et l’amélioration du bien-être mentale. Toutefois, les avancées dans ce domaine sont aujourd’hui […]

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is useful in multiple applications such as autonomous driving, augmented reality, and surveillance. Visual SLAM is a popular and widely used SLAM technique due to simplicity of the sensor network. Semantics and machine learning are used widely in recent research to achieve better robust real time SLAM performance. Hardware acceleration […]

The team is building a machine learning platform and solution to extract meeting insights from online meetings. Meeting insights denote moments from these meetings that may impact the company’s future product features, revenue, and customer satisfaction. This platform is driven by the market created by the widespread adoption of online virtual meetings as the main […]

The proposed project will survey “best-in-class” decentralized water conservation technologies and approaches such as rainwater harvesting systems and greywater recycling systems for use in single family residential dwellings in Canada. The proposed project will also survey all tools and resources provided by water conservation authorities such as CMHC to homeowners, building designers and municipalities. The […]
