Ce projet s’inscrit dans le contexte du réseau électrique intélligent visant à déployer des réseaux de capteurs à des fins de diagnostic, de maintenance et de pérennité pour connaitre l’état du réseau électrique et interagir avec des équipements majeurs dans les postes haute tension ou dans leurs voisinages proches. Il permettra à terme le développement […]

With the growing demand for energy efficient buildings, conventional steel wall studs are no longer an appropriate choice for exterior walls. Conventional steel studs cause an inordinately high degree of thermal bridging which lowers the energy efficiency of the building. New building codes are demanding higher energy efficient buildings. To address this concern, Structa Wire […]

This research project is responsible for the design, development, and experimentation of the actuation and control systems for synchronized segmentally interchanging pulley transmission system, SSIPTS. SSIPTS is a novel variable mechanical transmission that offers the combined benefits of existing transmission systems for both automotive and wind industries. To ensure high reliability at the high speed […]

Depuis 2011, une plateforme SAL (Synthetic Aperture Ladar) a été développée et testée en laboratoire à l’Institut National d’Optique (INO). L’INO souhaite maintenant évaluer la possibilité d’utiliser un tel système d’acquisition pour des applications réelles de cartographie urbaine, notamment de modélisation 3D intérieure. Actuellement, les balayeurs laser (i.e. LiDAR) sont couramment exploités pour réaliser de […]

CO2 is a greenhouse gas that impacts climate change. The Carbon Upcycling Technologies has developed a technique to attach gaseous CO2 molecules to graphite. In this project, this graphite will be converted to graphene using chemical oxidation methods. The one-atom thin monolayer graphene oxide will have potential applications in variety of industries, such as waste […]

In some parts of the world, airport runways are not constructed and maintained to the standards expected in North America and Western Europe. Aircraft designed for use on smooth runways may not be certifiable when they are operated on rougher runways because the predicted load cases associated with landing and take-off are very different from […]

The mining industry faces a massive human resource challenge in the next decade. The Certificate in Mining Studies (CMS) is a continuing education program offered by a network of mining schools and course providers. It is designed for those who seek industry-leading professional development and career advancement in the mining sector. In order to refine […]

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif de contribuer au développement de nouvelles structures isolantes pour les transformateurs de puissance avec l’application de nouveaux papiers thermiquement meilleurs que ceux actuellement utilisés. La recherche inclut des papiers isolants avec différentes teneurs en azote. Différentes propriétés mécaniques, et physico-chimiques seront déterminées après des essais de vieillissements accélérés. […]

Ontario’s chicken industry contributes $2.72 billion to Canadian economy, and supports 19,183 full-time equivalent jobs (Ontario Chicken Industry Report, 2013). To date, 2015 has seen 309 individual outbreaks of avian influenza (AI) reported to the World Organization for Animal Health, a 147% increase on outbreaks reported in 2014. In Ontario alone, 29 farms were quarantined […]

Automation of medical diagnosis/detection process is very important in terms of enhancing diagnostic accuracy, increasing throughput, reducing costs, and training new staff. Our current goal is to go from the proof of concept stage (automatic recognition and classification of human blood images) to a complete working and optimized prototype and to start testing it in […]

Dans l’optique de lutter contre la problématique de prolifération des cyanobactéries dans les plans d’eau, le phosphore contenu dans les rejets d’eaux usées est ciblé par un resserrement des exigences de rejet. Dans la continuité d’une collaboration entre le CRIQ et l’Université Laval dans le développement de technologies d’épuration passives, les plus récents travaux ont […]

Anaconda Mining Inc. is experiencing three rock penetration and fragmentation problems that impact costs, recovery and overall feasibility. Through collaboration between Anaconda Mining and the Drilling Technology Laboratory (DTL) at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) and the MITACS graduate internships described in this proposal, these problems will be investigated and appropriate solutions developed. The investigation […]
