Bio-Grafted Plastic Granules (BCPG)
Background Removal and immobilization of metal leachates from various compounds (industrial waste, mine tailings, waste engine oil, etc.) used in construction and the built environment is critical. Specifically, the use of mine tailing in construction of roadway base and sub-base could lead to leaching of metals to surface and ground water. In response...

Biofeedback Device for Speech Modulation
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD), affect many of the body’s functions such as balance and movement. They can also have a profound effect on communication abilities, with the majority of patients suffering from some form of vocal impairment, usually a difficulty in modulating vocal intensity. These speech difficulties...

The Chimney for CO2 Direct Air Capture – Enhanced Airflow for Capture
Background The removal of CO2 from the atmosphere through direct air capture (DAC) can help to stabilize the planet’s climate. There is a need for large-scale negative emission systems as more CO2 will need to be captured and stored in the future. There are existing DAC systems for carbon capture using airflow, which can use large fans to bring...
