Morphodynamic model development to better integrate the impact of riparian vegetation on bank erosion

Morphodynamic models are increasingly used in watershed management to predict the evolution of river channels and to test management scenarios prior to their implementation. The impact of plants in riparian zones is particularly critical to better document, but the current models rarely integrate this component. This project will use a bank erosion module and a vegetation module, recently developed during the intern’s PhD research to address some of the weaknesses of existing morphodynamic models, to develop knowledge on the effects of riparian plants on bank erosion. This project also seeks to examine the current modelling process at JFSA, detect opportunities for improvements, and suggest guidelines that will contribute to a more efficient modelling process. This will help JFSA improve their river restoration approach using predictive tools which integrate complex interactions between vegetation and river dynamics.

Magnetic surveying with a new high-precision fluxgate magnetometer on a rotary-wing unmanned aircraft system

Balch Exploration Consulting Inc. (BECI) develops low cost geophysical survey solutions to the natural resources sector. They are investing in the development of a rotary-wing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with a new high-precision fluxgate magnetometer. The general objective of this internship is to develop a rotary-wing UAS for aeromagnetic surveying. Specific objectives are to: assemble a rotary-wing UAS with an autopilot system; integrate the fluxgate magnetometer onto the UAS; characterize the magnetic signature of the UAS and its onboard components; perform an aeromagnetic demonstration survey; and process, analyze, and display the survey results. The project deliverables are a functioning rotary-wing UAS capable of acquiring high quality magnetic

Études du développement d’une plateforme informatique de test et de validation pour les moyens de communication embarqués dans les véhicules autonomes

De nos jours, les véhicules deviennent de plus en plus intelligents et embarquent des technologies et techniques de plus en plus complexes afin d’assister les utilisateurs que ce soit dans la prise de décision ou pour améliorer l’expérience de conduite (confort, sécurité, etc.). Les véhicules ont de plus en plus besoin de communiquer afin de fournir des services divers et variés à leurs utilisateurs. Cette communication combinée aux capteurs et équipements déployés à bord servent afin d’éviter des accidents, planifier un chemin optimal en prenant en compte les conditions du trafic routier, etc… Cette nouveauté pour les véhicules ouvre la porte à de nouveaux risques potentiels : défaillance de capteurs ou d’actionneurs, exposition à des risques d’attaques externes en détournant les moyens de communication embarqués.

Ultrasonic inspection of large steel forgings using a custom linear array

The aim of this project will be to evaluate the performance of a custom ultrasonic linear array transducer in an industrial setting. The partner organization, Finkl-Steel Sorel, is a manufacturer of high quality steel forging andhas a desire to improve the inspection tools they are currently using. However, due to the size of the steel forgings they manufacture commercial ultrasound array transducers are not performing to the desired standard. During the internship, the student who developed a custom array transducer adapted to the size of the steel forgings to be inspected will validate the concept he has developed over the last couple years.

Determination of active surface area and gas permeability of fuel cell catalyst layers

Within a hydrogen fuel cell, the cathode catalyst layer (CCL) is generally considered a limiting component in overall performance due to sluggish oxygen reduction reaction kinetics. The proposed internship is comprised of two projects, each characterizing the materials used in the CCL. The first project will investigate the permeability of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium gases through a series of polymer materials found in CCLs will be investigated to see how processing techniques, additive usage, and different suppliers impact resulting gas transport, which experiences impediments at high current densities. In the second project the surface area of catalyst in the CCL which is accessible for the oxygen reduction reaction will be determined for a series of CCLs prepared at the partner organization. The materials used and processing techniques are expected to change the accessible surface area which is an important factor in maximizing catalyst utilization. The partner organization will benefit by having an expanded knowledge base which will assist in making key design decisions for commercialization of fuel cell vehicles.

Temperature measurement in suspension plasma spraying

In plasma spray, coating materials melted by the plasma heat source are sprayed onto a substrate to make a coating layer which can be highly resistance to thermal and mechanical shocks. It is of importance to accurately measure the velocity and temperature of the sprayed coating particles. These characteristics have a great impact on the thermal and mechanical properties of the coating products. Accuraspray diagnostic system produced by TECNAR can measure velocity and temperature of large coating particles, while it needs some improvements for an accurate temperature measurement of smaller coating particles. During this internship, a new design is tested in which some major modifications are applied to make this system reliable for temperature measurement of small coating particles. The benefit for TECNAR is that a new Accuraspray system will be available to the coating industry that can be commercialized worldwide.

Development of a two-stage crosslinking bio-ink for printing 3D tumor models

The intern will further improve the company’s proprietary biomaterials to create tumor models using cancer cells. These tumor models can be used as an alternative to traditional 2D cell culture and potentially animal testing for cancer drugs. These cancer models will cost a fraction of the cost of animal models and can be tested using existing pharmaceutical techniques and equipment. The intern will develop chemical approaches to modify the existing biomaterials to enable easy printing of tumor models. This research will allow the company to commercialize their biomaterials in the pharmaceuticals industry using the processes created in the project. The biomaterials and reagents used in in-vitro cancer drug screening are a $3.5 Billion market, and this research will help the company gain market share in the industry.

Ciena OPn – WP 3.1.1 Supply Chain Agility, Life Cycle Management and Forecast Accuracy

Ciena Corporation is a global supplier of telecommunications networking equipment. It develops this equipment in a high product mix, low volume environment. Due to this environment and the short cycle times of its products, the company has product categories, which are highly dynamic both in volume and number of customers. Ciena wishes to be more agile in managing its supply chain. It also wishes to better predict the dynamics of product volume and product end-of-life over short timeframes. Consequently, the objectives of the project are to improve the accuracy of production volume estimation during product life cycles, to develop methods that more quickly signal supply chain partners about changes in demand, and to create a computer-based tool that captures supply chain information and assists managers to adjust Ciena’s supply chain activities on a daily basis.

Development of a Compact Muon Detector

Have you ever wondered what is underground below your feet? In this project, the intern will work at CRM Geotomography Technologies on developing a compact detector that will make it possible to construct 3D images of underground structures. The concept is similar to an X-ray, except that naturally occurring particles called atmospheric muons are used instead of electromagnetic waves. This technique is useful whenever it is necessary to scan volumes of underground earth. For example, in the mining industry this technique can be used to monitor the size of underground structures or to scan for mineral deposits. CRM will benefit from developing a compact, affordable, and durable detector that can be used more effectively in a diverse set of commercial applications than its existing systems.
