Optical memory, one of the foundations of an image sensor, is a device that integrates the functions of a photodetector that detects light and a flash memory that stores information. When the device is exposed to light, the number of optical carriers generated in the floating gate increases. The memory status is determined accordingly. In […]

A majority of jobs in highly developed economies such as Canada and the United States are sedentary. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) reports that sitting in poorly designed chairs can lead to neck pain, back pain, and pain and aches in several muscles. With the increase of work-from-home and hybrid work, […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

Through public and private investment, Alberta is heavily committed to the geological sequestration of CO2. Before CO2 can be stored underground, however, it must first be transported via pipeline. Thus, the possibility of pipeline rupture must be included in risk assessment models. Unfortunately, and in contrast to more typical pipeline cargo, relatively few models have […]

Le projet de recherche consiste à étudier l’effet des tolérances de fabrication sur les performances d’une pompe multiétage. En collaboration avec Waterax, une entreprise spécialisée dans la fabrication de pompes portables pour combattre les incendies de forêt, le stagiaire utilisera des simulations numériques pour comprendre comment le positionnement axial de la roue affecte différents métriques, […]

Lors de ce projet, le stagiaire sera chargé de caractériser l’anisotropie (variation des propriétés mécaniques selon la direction étudiée) des profilés extrudés en alliages d’aluminium fabriqués dans différentes conditions, en réalisant des essais de micro traction par rapport à la direction d’extrusion des profilés. Pour cela, il devra effectuer une série de mesure des propriétés […]

The design of sustainable manufacturing processes that convert renewable feedstocks into valuable products under clean and ‘green’ operating conditions is essential to ensuring continued economic development and stewardship of the environment. To this end, the use of engineered biological systems to convert biomass into useful chemicals could greatly diminish society’s dependence on petroleum and improve […]

Laetech is developing novel technology for the treatment and reconstruction of soft tissue. Specifically, Laetech is harnessing the regenerative capacity of cells found in a patients own fat tissue. Due to the abundance of fat and relative confidence of harvesting it, fat derived cells have become a large area of interest for researchers and commercialization […]

Strategic Arc Flash Risk Management project aimed at enhancing electrical safety in industrial settings. Arc flash incidents pose a significant threat, and our project seeks to develop a robust framework for preventing, mitigating, and managing such risks.

From an energy production perspective, the mobile component of the turbine, the runner, plays a key role in the operation of a water turbine. In the present competitive situation of deregulated energy markets, there is a great demand for more efficient runners which can withstand severe operating conditions. Traditional trialand- error runner design methods largely […]

The University of Saskatchewan (academic supervisor Dr. S. Achenbach), the Canadian Light Source (partner organization science manager Dr. F. He, SyLMAND beamline responsible Dr. T. Morhart), and intern L. Newman engage in a project to innovate microfabrication processes for microfluidic platforms used in chemical and biological reaction chemistry. In such systems, detection and imaging are […]

Gold and silver are precious metals and are difficult to extract from ores that have complicating minerals. These complicating minerals may in other circumstances be favourable due to their copper and zinc content but are problematic when the main value is the gold and silver. In particular, these copper- and zinc-bearing minerals occupy the cyanide […]
