Zome constructibility and the omnitruncated dodecaplex

On January 25th 2019, Benoit Charbonneau and a team of volunteers attempted to construct a three-dimensional shadow of the omnitruncated dodecaplex, a four-dimensional geometric shape, built using Zometool pieces. Over the course of 14 hours, volunteers built and supported the prototype structure, which was ultimately disassembled as it could not support its own weight. Building […]

Optimization of Novel Anodes for Electrochemical Trace Oxygen Sensors

Measurement of trace-levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) is critical to manufacturing processes such as in semiconductor production. Electrochemical sensors are a mature technology for measuring DO, with the classic sensor pairing a silver (Ag) with a lead (Pb) anode. Emerging international regulations that ban the use of Pb due to environmental concerns threaten the continued […]

Non-Contact condition monitoring system for outdoor ceramic insulators based on their radio frequency signatures

The research centers around the feasibility study of a method to detect faulty outdoor insulators and to classify the type of defects within the insulator. Every different type of defect results in a specific electromagnetic Signature that can be acquired using an antenna and oscilloscope. Using these Signatures some specific features (eg statistical or spectral […]

Cost-benefit analysis of LID and BMP interventions in the Humber River Watershed under anticipated future development

Human land use generates water pollution. Watershed managers use various tools to reduce pollution from human land uses. These tools include funding new fertilizer application equipment that reduces losses of pollutants from agricultural fields, and funding the construction of rain gardens and stormwater ponds in urban areas to reduce runoff. These tools all have costs […]

Robust flight control of urban air mobility vehicles in icing conditions

The project aims to develop new flight control systems for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicles, designed for short to medium-distance travel within cities. However, the operation of these vehicles, especially in Canada’s inclement weather conditions face significant challenges, particularly when flying in icy conditions, which can endanger flight safety by affecting the aircraft’s stability and […]
