The project involves the investigation of perovskite solar cells fabrication for indoor and outdoor applications based on a method that can be used for industrial production. The intern will first study the optimization of perovskite solar cells by choosing the appropriate hole transport layer for the device stack provided by Rayleigh. This device architecture can […]

For the joining of different materials, various processes are available in the industry such as riveting, shrink fitting or welding. Welding is the preferred joining method especially for high temperature and high-pressure applications such as pressure vessels and aircraft structures. In recent times, the number of potential applications and usage of welding is also increasing […]

La barre russe est une discipline de cirque dans laquelle deux porteurs se tiennent à chaque extrémité d’une barre, tandis qu’un voltigeur debout sur la barre se propulse dans les airs. Le port de la barre sur une épaule génère une charge asymétrique sur le dos des porteurs. La fabrication d’une barre ergonomique est nécessaire […]

Built environments have been experiencing low productivity issues for a long time due to poor collaborative processes, inefficient information exchange, and discontinuity between design and construction. With more and more construction projects moving towards off-site construction, the concept of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) is gaining momentum. This strategy is expected to be adopted […]

CAC recently announced a partnership with the Federal Government of Canada towards achieving Net Zero Concrete by 2050, enabling policy and investments. The industry has been vigorously provided low-carbon concrete solutions accepted in the relevant CSA standards. It is currently providing data for more technologies that offer deeper carbon cuts to reach the 2030 carbon […]

Thermally insulated systems (pipeline, process piping and process equipment) in the hydrocarbon industry require frequent assessment using various non-destructive examination. To access the surface underneath thermal insulations, inspection ports are widely used which have advantages of facilitating the high confidence data. The downside of inspection ports is when these allow moisture seepage which causes corrosion […]

Firefighters risk their lives every day to protect ours. Their protective clothing is critical to allow them performing their duties while remaining safe. Unfortunately, the performance of their protective clothing degrades over time as it is exposed to high heat, UV light, moisture, launderings, etc., which raises serious safety concerns for firefighters and other people […]

The research proposed here aims to develop methods to increase the flight time of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using atmospheric energy in the form of rising air thermals, as is often done by glider pilots. This would allow UAVs to rely less on their onboard motor and reduce the amount of energy consumed during flight. […]

iFeelvirtuel.io est un premier lieu digital dédié à la communauté de Réalité Virtuelle (VR). L’entreprise produit en ce moment la majorité des captations VR/ 360° d’événements, Live et conférences (pour des artistes et des générateurs de contenus) avec pour but de démocratiser la VR. Nous priorisons la transmission de notre savoir-faire en production, afin de […]

This research investigates how a neighbourhood in London, Ontario may be designed to be both sustainable and resilient, where “resilient” means capable of dealing with future shocks and stresses. One major future shock/stress will be climate change impacts, such as extreme temperature or precipitation. This research will also conduct preliminary energy modelling of a simplified […]

Dans ce projet, nous proposons la simulation et l’intégration de système de distribution pour le système transactionnel afin d’apprendre et tester les différents algorithmes et approches de coordination et de contrôle décentralisés sur les échanges entre les agents, comprendre les contraintes techniques et les bloqueurs, et définir les enjeux d’intégration des RED dans le réseau […]

La qualité et la durabilité des ouvrages de génie civil est fortement influencé par la densification des couches de matériaux. Le contrôle est typiquement effectué par un outil appelé le nucléodensimètre, qui comporte plusieurs inconvénients, notamment l’utilisation d’une source radioactive. D’autres techniques sont disponibles, notamment celles permettant l’enfoncement d’une tige normalisée par battage pour juger […]
