Methane is a key greenhouse gas (GHG), and atmospheric methane emissions in Alberta are associated with a variety of industry sectors: sanitary landfills, wood waste landfills, feedlot operations and the oil and gas sector. When the quantities released at individual locations are relatively small, this methane cannot be used as an energy source; therefore, environmentally […]

L’aluminium est un matériau clé pour les applications structurales, notamment dans les secteurs des transports terrestres. Son utilisation dans les extrusions, comme les poutres de châssis et de carrosserie, permet de remplacer les assemblages traditionnels par des solutions plus légères et robustes. Cependant, les propriétés finales des pièces extrudées varient en fonction des conditions de […]

This project aims to develop a novel wearable microneedle patch that can painlessly measure muscle activity more accurately and comfortably than current technologies, with the potential to transform how neuromuscular disorders like Parkinson’s are diagnosed and managed. It leverages the University of Calgary’s expertise in low-cost, scalable microfabrication techniques and University College Dublin’s expertise in […]

Ergo Eco Solutions Inc. is pioneering a sustainable transformation in the petrochemical market through its innovative use of upcycled food waste. The global dependency on finite, polluting hydrocarbons has created an urgent need for clean, renewable alternatives. Ergo addresses this challenge by developing and producing eco-friendly Oil-ternative™ products derived from Waste Cooking Oil (WCO). This […]

The objective of this project is to comprehensively measure the experiences and circumstances around commuting to large employers (e.g., in this case Carleton University). The motivation is to identify barriers and incentives to commuting without a car. Two interns from University of Savoy Mont Blanc’s Solar Academy master’s program will visit Carleton for the summer […]

Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) are shape-changing polymers that contain asymmetrical liquid crystal molecules chemically bonded to the polymer chains in an ordered fashion. Heat and light can be used to change this molecular order, which results in the polymer changing its shape. LCEs show promising applications in remotely controlled soft robotics and actuators, such as […]

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

L’usine du groupe Canam située à Sherbrooke est équipée de plusieurs perceuses magnétiques et statiques qui sont utilisées pour le perçage de pièces en acier. Ces outils doivent être opérés de manière optimale afin de limiter les bris d’équipement qui entraînent des coûts et du temps de maintenance supplémentaires. Notamment, la vitesse de rotation, la […]

Le projet de recherche a pour objectif de formaliser un ensemble de pratiques de gestion de projet via une plateforme numérique au sein d’une entreprise d’économie sociale œuvrant dans le domaine de l’habitation social et communautaire. Ces entreprises sont de plus en plus sollicitées afin de répondre à la crise du logement grandissante au Québec. […]

L’intérêt pour les jumeaux numériques dans les secteurs de la fabrication et de l’automatisation est en hausse, notamment pour répondre à des besoins spécifiques tels que la mise en service virtuelle, qui intervient avant la matérialisation effective de la machine. Cette étude propose d’effectuer la modélisation du mécanisme « ferme-sac » de la machine VP-415 […]

Radiolysis of water produces hydrogen, oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, which can be deleterious to system components. The radiolytic production of these species can be mitigated through appropriate chemical dosing with small amounts of dissolved hydrogen or oxygen-scavenging chemicals such as hydrazine. Corrosion of carbon steel components in the End Shield Cooling system of a CANDU […]

Two IoUT localization and telemetry sensors with RF antennas and power amplifiers at 915 MHz are achieved. The two sensors were measured in the research laboratory showing a reasonable agreement with the simulation results. However, the two sensors were not measured onsite yet. Therefore, the performance of the two IoUT localization and telemetry sensors is […]
