Develop a process where EMCC could produce a hard cured coil, with the use of chemical and fast curing time

With the rise of the smart or connected car, the auto industry has become a leader in connected technology. Current vehicle models feature the internet of things (IoT); they incorporate complex systems of devices that communicate data about the driver and vehicle performance, experience and safety. These features include Global Positioning Systems (GPS), vehicle trackers, cameras and sensors, all of which can be connected to the cloud and are meant to enhance the driver experience as well as improve safety. Current vehicle technology benefits customers with hands-free calling and texting, navigation, infotainment, voice-assistance, sensors that detect drowsiness and alert drivers who are falling asleep, sensors that detect obstacles around the vehicle, and warning sensors that indicate service to the vehicle is needed or recommended. For many years, onboard data recorders have registered details of a vehicle’s operation in the seconds before a collision; recently, the depth of information collected has increased considerably and can include video of the vehicle in the minutes before a collision.
The purpose of this project is to collect and analyze the privacy permissions and releases automakers require of their Canadian customers in exchange for access to the onboard features and connected applications in their vehicles. Researchers will compile information using actual current-model-year vehicles, vehicle owner’s manuals, automaker websites, and information from auto dealers when it is available.
To the APA's knowledge, this will be the first inventory undertaken in Canada to determine and understand the commitments that vehicle owners are making to fully use the connected capabilities of the vehicles they drive.

Electrical, plumbing, lightning, stairways, fire suppression systems, bathroom accessibility, flooring, finishings, fixtures, windows and patio doors upgrades as well as the addition of an outdoor gazebo to provide meeting and program space.

The Project will improve the City’s flood resilience by upgrading culverts, remediating the naturalized shoreline, and upgrading water, sewer and storm sewer pipes; and will improve the electrical network resilience by undergrounding powerlines.
