As a full-service, data-driven solutions provider for aviation, SKYTRAC Systems is developing new 2-MCU satellite communications (SATCOM) terminal, SDL-350, which will be capable of achieving globally available broadband transfer rates of 352 kbps both to and from the aircraft. One critical challenge facing the R&D engineers of SDL-350 is the thermal management, because the power […]

Insurance companies collect huge volumes of text on a daily basis and through multiple channels, which can be used for lots of different analyses, including identifying “cause of death”. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of an insurance company’s need to understand the facts and circumstances surrounding an insured individual’s death. These facts, including […]

Nearly 20% of all piercings lead to local infection, and therefore, it is imperative to develop alternative and commercially-viable methods of piercing aftercare to prevent infection. The general objective of the proposed project is to optimize the design of drug-eluting bio-absorbable scaffolds for human and animal tissue piercing applications with a focus on multiple drug […]

This project shows the possibility of decreasing the power consumption of Industrial robotics. Design methodology for Intelligent Energy Management for Production Facilities with Robotics Automation [IEMPRA] is proposed to Cherkam, by predicting the energy consumption over the energy model, which delivers a guide to enable energy-efficient approaches. The total energy consumption is evaluated using ML […]

Dentists and dental assistants are required to complete continuing education. Blue Light’s first technology introduced in 2010 was a patient simulator used for teaching hands-on light curing skills. This technology incorporates a mannequin head, expensive electronics and required an in-person course which is less desirable in the current covid-19 landscape. Exploring other mediums to deliver […]

Research and Development for Modeling the Perceived Value of Energy Consumers is a novel area of study which should help to better understand the energy consumers and the perceived value they place on different services and products. By identifying, understanding potential new products and services the related business models can be developed. Various dependencies between […]

In this project, we will develop software-based models to monitor and to predict the performance of Perovskites-based PVBlindsTM for optimal energy management and optimal integration into buildings, as well as to diagnose faults of PV cells for safe, efficient, and reliable operation. The PVBlindsTM are developed by Solaires Inc. and will be deployed at various […]

A turbine is placed in an engine system to make use of energy contained in exhaust gases. It receives hot gases that are left over from the combustion process and converts them into useful shaft power that increases overall efficiency. The flow from each cylinder is highly dynamic since it is created by the exhaust […]

Leaching of primary copper sulfide (chalcopyrite) using ferric as the oxidant at ambient temperature and pressure exhibits slow kinetics and poor leaching efficiency. In collaboration with LeadFX, this project aims at developing an atmospheric tank leaching process for copper extraction from chalcopyrite concentrate with iodine as the catalyst. The temperature used will be higher than […]

Natural gas power generation is a cost-effective method of generating electricity. NG power generators have been successfully installed in a wide variety of energy intensive facilities in Canada, including district energy systems, wastewater treatment facilities, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, office buildings, and residential buildings. However, more than 60% of the energy is wasted in the […]

Both global warming and increasing supply of nickel and cobalt are urgently world-wide issues to be addressed. Mineral carbonation is a promising method to permanently store greenhouse gas CO2 into stable mineral carbonates but energy-intensive requirements and low-value products limit the successful application. Meanwhile, with the increasing demand on global nickel and cobalt supply for […]

During COVID-19 outbreak, many people are suffering the negative emotions, causing anxiety, fear, and depression in daily life. To improve the individuals’ mental health, musical therapy will be employed due to its high value of treatment in the mental health field. In our project, a smart empathetic speaker based on real-time emotion recognition system will […]
