The PipeDiver is a free-swimming platform developed by Pure Technologies, which can carry sensors and devices for non-destructive inspection of in-service water pipelines. CCTV (closed-circuit television) inspection is a well-adopted method, which employs a CCTV camera on the platform. General, the CCTV inspection can only provide qualitative results about pipe condition. To achieve quantitative inspection, […]

Since the state-of-the-art detection performances are mainly from still images, besides the existing algorithms validation, effective algorithms specifically designed for feature extraction and human detection from videos are expected to be developed or extended from algorithms for general object detection and human detection tasks. What’s more, it will be possible to analyze human actions like […]

Canadian Sport Policy states a desire to provide sport programs that are accessible and reflect the full diversity of Canadian society. However a recent evaluation of 61 sport organizations in British Columbia revealed that most organizations are ill-equipped to serve people with disabilities wishing to partake in their leisure and sport programs (with some individuals […]

Inter-tissue adhesions cause significant complications following veterinary surgery of domesticated animals. Fucoidans are natural, negatively charged, carbohydrate polymers (polysaccharides) from seaweeds that have been successfully developed and commercialized for reducing such adhesions, thereby improving surgical outcomes. Currently, the inherent variability in the molecular size and composition of native fucoidans extracted from seaweed presents a significant […]

Fuel cells operated vehicles are most attractive alternative to current gasoline base vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment. Fuel cells used Hydrogen as fuel and therefore it is need to be stored on-board. Due to light weight of hydrogen special storage mechanism is necessary to store the adequate quantity. All available […]

QUATERNION has partnered with BOEING USA on a flight validation and evaluation program using Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to identify the operational system that replaces the 900MHz Autopilot Whip Antenna, integration of the printed antenna system into the UAS and related connectorization, fiber optic and strain gauge instrumentation in support of the shape prediction system […]

Over the past three decades, there have been drastic declines in voter turnout and traditional political participation across North America, particularly among younger demographics. As young people increasingly move away from institutionally-driven practices, political participation is no longer only defined by voting in elections, volunteering with civic associations and town hall meetings but increasingly manifests […]

There are several platforms that allow users to share real time video with the public. However, these platforms lack the tools that would allow creative professionals to create artistic video compositions extemporaneously. Our prior research assessed the potential for artistic expression within live video broadcasting by developing and integrating new creative tools within the Generate […]

To improve mosquito control and public planning, we will identify places and times that mosquitoes are likely to flourish. A local mosquito control company, Culex Enviornmental Ltd., has been counting and identifying species of mosquito larvae across Metro Vancouver for more than 10 years. We will use their valuable data to create maps of potential […]

Wesgar is a factory that produces metal sheets for its customers. After a product is ready, it will be delivered to the customer. The objective of this project is to improve the On Time Delivery. At Wesgar they have different machines in their production system. These machines are able to process different products based on […]

Equity trading systems require the trader to constantly make decisions about buying or selling equities quickly in a highly stressful environment. The information is typically confusing, highly dynamic, and imprecise and often conflicts with other information. There is also a huge amount of information that could potentially be used in the decision making process. There […]

This study will provide the information about the in vitro bioavailability of As and Pb in SierraSil® at the first time and validate the possible product specific bioaccessibility method that can be used to predict bioavailability. This study will first compare the mineral composition of SierraSil® after acid and alkaline digestion, thus it is possible […]
