Afin de détecter les fuites potentielles de pétrole, diesel et essence à proximité des oléoducs, l’entreprise Flyscan propose de survoler en avion les régions d’intérêt et d’effectuer l’acquisition d’images hyperspectrales et d’images optiques RGB, à partir desquelles il est possible de détecter la présence d’hydrocarbures liquides au sol. Pour l’instant, ces images sont analysées avec […]

Le projet de recherche vise à optimiser le procédé de carbonatation minérale développé par l’INRS et mis en oeuvre par l’entreprise Sigma Devtech. II s’agit d’un procédé permettant d’extraire du magnésium à partir des résidus miniers de serpentine et de stocker le CO2 sous forme de carbonates de haute pureté. Afin d’améliorer la rentabilité du […]

Le projet vise à augmenter l’utilisation du recyclage en place à froid pour la réhabilitation des routes. Ce procédé consiste à traiter la couche d’enrobé bitumineux existante avec des liants bitumineux et hydrauliques, renforçant ainsi la capacité portante de la chaussée tout en réutilisant les matériaux en place, ce qui est économiquement et environnementalement avantageux. […]

Line-commutated Converters (LCC) have been used for over half a century due to their robustness as well as high power capacity. However, they can face challenges from voltage and frequency disturbances in the case of terminating in a very weak ac network. Such systems use synchronous condensers (SCs) to provide voltage and frequency support at […]

In partnership with the University of British Columbia, the intern will work with VulcanX, a Canadian energy company, on a project to make hydrogen production cleaner and cheaper. They will help set up a reactor with the capability of producing hydrogen and solid carbon in a continuous process. This setup will be used to evaluate […]

This is a project that aims to deploy a new sensing system that allows the estimate of nutrients in potato plants in near real-time by scanning their leaves in two different modes: fresh when still intact and dried. This sensing system would replace manual sampling and wet tissue chemical analysis to allow immediate response to […]

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has initiated a program to reduce fertilizer N2O emissions by 30 % from 2020 to 2030 [14]. Accurate monitoring of agricultural N2O emissions is crucial for understanding their environmental impact and implementing effective mitigation strategies. Current research mainly focuses on measuring N2O emissions from the ground. The spectroscopic-based LI-COR sensor is […]

This project is dedicated to enhancing the safety and reliability of cardiovascular disease diagnosis through the innovative integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with 4D Flow MRI technology. By applying advanced machine learning algorithms, we aim to improve the precision and dependability of 4D Flow MRI analyses, ensuring more accurate assessments of complex heart blood flow […]

Toyo Pumps is planning to develop a new generation of pumps with a viewing window in order to evaluate the maintenance timing. However, there are several challenges posed by application of allocating the viewing window that the company product developers must overcome. The University of British Columbia (UBC) has the expertise, equipment, 2D and 3D […]

The project will investigate the use of non-linear optimization and heuristic methods such as Genetic algorithms to determine the parameters of commercial induction motors from available manufacturer data. The developed model will be simulated using electromagnetic transients simulation programs. A suitable objective function will be developed which penalizes deviation off the simulation results from manufacturers’ […]

Many building construction projects have different levels of risk. The level of knowledge about these risks can impact the project’s timeline and budget. Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital technologies have the potential to improve risk management in the construction industry. This project aims to integrate BIM and digital technologies into the project management process, […]
