Automated Generation and Integration of AUTOSAR RTE Configurations

Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) is a system-level standard used worldwide by automotive companies and suppliers to develop standardized software development frameworks for automobiles. The RTE software of AUTOSAR should be configured to develop an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The manual and semiautomatic code creation phases of the software development process for the RTE is time consuming and inefficient. APAG Cosyst is one of the leading companies in ECU design and development and is working on designing a new CAD tool that will automatically generate RTE Code. The created CAD tool will automatically interpret ARXML files and generate executable files (*.h and *.c files).

Adaptive remote powering and data communication for ultra-low power AIOT devices – Year Two

Conscious of AI, IoT, mobile and automotive products’ explosive growth and potential environmental impact, Dolphin Design is committed to accelerating the development of energy-efficient System-on-Chip for its customers. Dolphin Design continuously aims to meet the stringent power consumption targets for Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) devices. The next generation of IoT devices will be wireless due to inconvenience, costs, or in some cases, the inability to wiring them. In addition, many of them might have strict size constraints. Powering and ensuring ultra-long autonomy for devices with no cord for power and limited space for a battery becomes a daunting challenge. Further, in order to make the smart objects paradigm come true (devices with embedded intelligence and high level of autonomy and communication) much research is needed in order to develop self-power managed system with data communication ability which has an ultra-low power consumption, small and simple implementation, and overall optimized performance. In this research proposal, our objective concerns the implementation of an ultra-low power and adaptive wireless power and data transfer system dedicated to AIoT applications.

Analysis and Evaluation of Heathwood Green Home

In order to meet the new 2012 Ontario Building Code (aBC) standard and further differentiate
its leadership in the housing market, Heathwood Home has developed a pilot study to
examine the cost-benefit of different energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy
technologies that could apply to low-rise residential dwellings. The overall objectives of the
proposed study will be three-fold. First, through building energy simulation and other life-cycle
based method, cost-benefits of different potential upgrades will be determined. Second,
through the detailed long-term monitoring of energy and water usage, real cost-benefits of the
chosen upgrades will be assessed with and without the influence of occupants. Third, through
building energy simulation, a refined passive solar optimized housing design will be
developed for minimization of energy demand for both heating and cooling. The proposed
internship is the first of the two expected internships for the overall project. The currently
proposed internship will concentrate on the cost-benefits analysis of different upgrades using
both simulation and collected non-occupied…TOBECONT’D…

Business Strategy for King’s Distributed Systems Ltd

Kings Distributed Systems (“Kings”) is a Canadian corporation with the mission to make computing more affordable, secure, and interoperable. Its core offering is a software platform that makes running modern applications cheap and easy through a global ‘marketplace’ for computing resources. Since its inception, it has been delivering high-quality software for use in a broad number of industries, such as space science, public health, STEM research, AI/ML, and cybersecurity. One customer segment of Kings are municipalities with applications such as these that were previously prohibitively expensive or too complex to build. For example, it is too costly for most cities to monitor hundreds of video feeds using a centralized cloud provider, but with Kings it is now possible to do so. This project with Mitacs will help Kings identify more municipal use cases such as this one, and help build a repeatable strategy for addressing them. The project intern will identify the most common applications that municipalities might use Kings’ technology for and the various municipal requirements for using new software. It will also build some connections with municipal decision makers and gather valuable feedback from these stakeholders.

Clearview Advisory – Business Development Analyst

Clearview Advisory is a boutique advisory firm founded in 2016 that helps business owners with high value projects – Mergers and Acquisitions, divestitures, financings, joint-ventures, business integration management and strategic planning. Up to this point, Clearview has grown entirely through word of mouth. The firm wants to continue to expand its business more formally, but currently lacks the bandwidth internally to do so due to its work-load with current clients. The project that Clearview is envisioning for the successful candidate is to help in developing a strategy around new business development with the objective being to create a formal business development plan and marketing framework for the firm to continue to use indefinitely. Anticipated project activities would include setting up a strategy for Thought Leadership pieces, a Website, Client Outreach, Database Creation and Monitoring, and launching all the marketing materials around securing new lines of business (call script, email template, 1-page tear sheets, etc.). Other responsibilities include: identifying business opportunities, building and maintaining successful relationships with potential and existing clients, collaborating with the firms Principal on business/marketing strategy, as well as maximizing business reach and potential.

Subsurface Mapping and 3D Reconstruction of Silurian Clinton-Medina Groups, Southwestern Ontario

The Silurian age Clinton-Medina Groups is a succession of sedimentary rocks found across Ontario, in outcrop and in the subsurface. The history of the stratigraphy is complex, and therefore confusion exists relating the stratigraphy regionally in the subsurface across Ontario. The Clinton-Medina Group formations are important for Ontario’s energy sector, providing petroleum resources from natural gas pools found in Eastern Lake Erie. By properly describing and delineating the formations, using core, cuttings, and geophysical logs, this information can be used to interpret the current geological information of the units and accurately map the geographical extent of the formations. This information will contribute to the 3D geological model of the Phanerozoic geology of southwestern and southcentral Ontario, which will be used as a tool to aid in exploration, aid geologists in subsurface study, and provide a visual guide for government policy makers.

Evaluation of Treatment Processes for Greenhouse Wastewater Streams

The greenhouse industry constantly strives for innovative solutions to reduce production costs and environmental footprint. Greenhouses commonly generate process water including nutrient feedwater and other non-production wastewater. They also use fertigation, a soil-less drip irrigation method that requires large quantities of water and nutrients. Due to sharp reduction of available phosphorus (P), P recovery from wastewater streams is an economic opportunity. This research will determine optimum treatment conditions for acidic condensate water from cogeneration process and will explore a combination of mineral sorbents and biological materials to intercept and capture P from greenhouse effluents. Washing out cannabis roots is an important process, which uses large amounts of water; yet there are no standards for its disposal. Properly treated wash water can be recycled back; therefore, wash water treatment will also be evaluated using media filtration and advanced oxidation processes such as ozonation, O3/H2O2 and UV.
