Development of an Advanced Communication Earplug

To prevent noise-induced hearing loss, at the workplace just like in everyday’s life, an Advanced Communication Earplug (ACE) will be designed. This ACE will merge hearing protection features usually found in industrial protectors and modern communication capabilities that can be found in consumer products such as in-ear headphones and hands-free communication headsets, into one in-ear device. Thr ACE will therefore incorporate the electro-acoustical componenents (miniature microphones and speakers, digital-signal processor, attery, etc.) usually found in tese consumer products. It will use the available signal processing capailities to perform acoustic filtering of speech and useful auditory signals, to provide adequate protection but not hinder further communication. The ACE electronic will be hosted within the custom in-ear platform developed by sonomax Technoloies inc. This unique in-ear platform offers superior comfort, stable positiioning, and high noise isolation. The custom adjustment of the in-ear polatform to the user’s unique earcanal shape is driven by………………..

Emissions control and reduction for natural gas engines

The use of natural gas as a fuel for on-road commercial vehicles offers significant benefits, including lower greenhouse gas emissions. Methane, the main component of natural gas, has many virtues as a fuel. One of these benefits is that it is a very stable molecule. This stability does introduce a challenge: it is hard to remove from the exhaust stream any methane that isn’t consumed in the engine. This internship will help to address this factor, focusing on using a catalytic reactor in the exhaust of an engine. The intern will install and test two novel, sub-scale catalytic converters, specially designed for methane removal, on the exhaust from a research engine. These results will help to advance Westport’s ongoing efforts to develop cleaner and more cost-effective natural gas engines.

Mise en place d’un processus de gestion des risques dans un departementde construction

L’objectif du projet est la création d’un processus de gestion des risques par l’étudiant, dans un service

de conception et de construction d’aéroports, au sein de l’entreprise SNC Lavalin Construction. Ce

processus devra être simple, facile d’utilisation, rigoureux et exhaustif. En effet, il vise à donner, à des

personnes non sensibilisées à la gestion de projets, des outils permettant une prise en compte aisée des

différents types de risques dans les projets de construction. Ce processus pourra se decomposer en 4 etapes distinctes. En effet, l’identification des risques permet

de dresser une cartographie la plus detaillee possible des risques susceptibles d’intervenir sur Ie projet.

Ensuite, I’ ctape de quantification pennel de determiner l’importance ou I ‘occurrence de chaque Jisque

identifie preccdemment. Enfin, la detem1ination de moyens preventifs et con’ectifs (etape 3) et leur

suivi (ctape 4) permettent un une demarche proactive plutot que reactive face aux problematiqucs de

Jisques en gestion de projets.
