Effective wastewater treatment is essential to the health of the environment. When operating wastewater treatment plants, utilities must ensure that the treated water meets environmental regulations, while balancing competing needs to minimize the cost of running the plant against the maximizing resource recovery. Additionally, most wastewater treatment plants include a combination of physical, chemical, and […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de tester et valider un code de mesures de déformation par corrélation d’images numériques (digital image corrélation en anglais, DIC en abrégé). Cette technique permet d’évaluer les déformations en surface que subit une pièce sollicitée mécaniquement, de façon à prédire son comportement en service. Le principe de la corrélation d’images […]

NeoSpina Health Care Inc intends to contribute to unprecedented treatment techniques for LBP by developing a novel medical device and investigating acquired data from treatment procedures. Accordingly, the main objective of this project is to develop a non-invasive robotic device to treat a wide array of spinal conditions while reducing the treatment duration compared to […]

La compagnie Estampage JPL Ltée et le Laboratoire des Technologies de la Biomasse (LTB), visent à améliorer le processus de transformation de l’aluminium. Le projet se consacrera à développer des technologies d’inspection visuelles intelligents (capteurs, senseurs, caméras, compteurs intelligents, etc.) pour être capable de diagnostiquer les problématiques de qualité de la matière première et de […]

The Royal Canadian Mint is a world-class producer of circulation and non-circulation coins for Canada and other countries and aggressively conducting and supporting research and development to meet customer requirements and social/environmental wellbeing. One of future strategies at The Royal Canadian Mint is to produce antibacterial Canadian circulation coins, reducing the potential spread of bacterial […]

Avec ses 113 espaces d’une superficie combinée de 51 208 mètres carrés, le Palais des congrès de Montréal est l’un des centres de congrès et d’exposition les plus réputés en Amérique du Nord. Depuis 1983, le site a accueilli plus de 7 700 événements et 19 millions de visiteurs. Le projet de recherche proposé vise […]

Currently halogen-based flame retardant is widely used as cable covering material in various industries including oil and gas, transit and industrial utilities. Studies have concluded that these materials will produce toxic gases and acidic fumes, and also persistent against degradation in landfill. These negative consequences resulted in a progressive regulatory restriction on use of halogen-based […]

Global society trend in sustainable technologies and environmentally friendly solutions demand the energy-intensive rare earth elements (REEs) separation methods to be more sustainable and possibly adhere to the green chemistry principles. This project tackles molecular recognition technology (MRT) as a method to selectively separate REEs. MRTs is still in its infancy and literature lacks data. […]

Nowadays, aircrafts use computer-regulated flight control systems that replace mechanical controls with electronic interfaces. These sensor interfaces convert physical movements or quantities (temperature or pressure for instance) to electronic signals between flight control computers (FCCs) and actuators and sensors. A large number of sensor interfaces are used in an aircraft to allow FCCs communicating with […]

Bridge abutments are commonly built with a construction technology called Mechanically Stabilized Earth that provides structural soundness. The core element is a composite material that alternates layers of backfill soil with layers of galvanized steel reinforcements. Although the structural design has been well developed since its introduction in the construction practices, the degradation of the […]

Additive Manufacturing is a rapidly growing technology in the gas turbine industry. Its numerous advantages allow for the design of complex shapes which have not been possible in the past, using conventional manufacturing method. The parts could be manufactured on demand, with reduce cost and lead time. Selective Laser Melting is the common method to […]

Traditionnellement, les dispositifs employés pour chauffer individuellement à l’électricité les pièces sont conçus à base de métal, lamelles ou spirales, où l’ont fait circuler un courant afin de les chauffer. Pour assurer un chauffage adéquat au plus fort de l’hiver nord-américain, les plinthes chauffantes doivent avoir un volume minimal de métal, ce qui résulte en […]
