La recherche se penche sur la problématique de la récupération des textiles postconsommation, tels les vêtements, literies et autres textiles domestiques. Bien que ceux-ci soient minutieusement triés, environ 30% sont tout de même jetés, n’ayant pas de débouchés sur le marché du ré-emploi. Mais quand est-il des matériaux dans lesquels ils sont fabriqués? Présentent-ils un […]

In China, there are several airports located in high altitude, mountainous and highly populated cities with many high-rise buildings and man-made obstacles nearby. In order to comply with flight safety regulations, civil aircraft must takeoff and climb-out under the requirements of relevant certification regulations (FAR25, CS25, CCAR25, etc.) and operation regulations (FAR121, JAA-OPS, CCAR121, etc.). […]

Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell production facility must condition rolls of catalyst coated membrane [CCM] material to specific humidity and temperature conditions before using CCM in the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cell manufacturing process. Rolls of CCM material are conditioned in a clean room for a fixed time upon delivery to the facility. The fixed time conditioning […]

Sober Steering is developing a wearable alcohol sensor system that communicates with a vehicle to prevent drunk driving. The FitBit-style wearable device will communicate wirelessly with a Sober Steering module located behind the dash of the vehicle to provide interlock functionality and instant alerts. The wearable alcohol sensor system will be monitored and controlled by […]

Les turbines hydrauliques sont utilisées pour la génération propre d’électricité. Dans les barrages, l’eau emmagasinée à parfois tendance à se «stratifier» en plusieurs couches. Celles se trouvant dans la partie inférieure peuvent devenir pauvre en oxygène et une fois que l’eau s’y trouvant sera passée dans la turbine, elle ressortira avec un taux d’oxygène trop […]

La mise au point d’une formule de méthionine enrobée pour l’alimentation des ruminants fait l’objet de ce projet. Une fois la formule établie, l’établissement des couts et de la mise à l’échelle sera aussi étudiée. La biodisponibilité de la méthionine, un acide aminé qui est souvent en carence dans l’alimentation des ruminants, est faible. Ainsi, […]

Recent studies show that chronic stress levels have increased by 30% in the last 3 decades[1]. The objective of this project is to place humans at the center of a new mobile-based platform called the Life Optimization Engine (LION). The goal is to optimize human performance via self-modulation through physiological feedback programs. LION will use […]

This project aims at designing and creating a hardware and software Intellectual Property that can implement USB to I2S conversion. I2S is an interface which is widely used for audio data transmission. With this design, audio data can be directly transmitted from USB interface to audio signal processing integrated circuits. ESS Technology is a leading […]

As a major field of science, materials behavior plays vital role in engineering applications and various industries. Many researchers are investigating the properties of different materials to propose better and more reliable materials for different applications. Bulk metallic glasses are one of the most recent developments in material science. The aim of this research is […]

L’entreprise partenaire fabrique une empileuse à bois et la vend à ses clients qui l’utilisent pour la production des paquets. La machine actuelle est capable de traiter environ 18 rangs de planches par minute. Le projet vise à développer une nouvelle conception de l’empileuse afin d’augmenter sa cadence. La réalisation d’une telle conception nécessite plusieurs […]

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide a cost-effective and low-risk airborne platform for scientific and surveillance equipment. Due to the variety of instrumentation that they can carry, UAVs have enormous potential for use in a range of commercial and military sectors. However, their small size and low speed brings about aerodynamic challenges that are not present […]

Increasing global energy demand coupled with efforts to reduce our carbon emission has pushed for improved energy efficiency in many areas. One area in need of improvement is residential and commercial buildings. Specifically, the demand-side energy management of commercial buildings can be improved significantly with improved control. With the addition of on-site renewable energy generation […]
