This project focuses on the development of Electric Conductive Concrete (ECC) pavements which can efficiently reduce the cost of snow removal of Quebec. Recent research has proven that temperature regulated pavements can melt snow and ice. By taking advantage of all latest technology in conductive inclusions, the project aims will develop an optimized ECC mix […]

In this project, we will develop and evaluate an autonomous, unmanned aerial photogrammetry system for metric inspection of hard-to-reach vertical infrastructures, such as telecommunication towers and high-rise buildings. Metric inspection means identifying and measuring the facts that may have an impact on health conditions of assets, such as changes in tower alignment or deformations of […]

Le développement des systèmes intelligents dans les véhicules modernes est complexe et doit remplir autant les exigences des conducteurs que celles de la sécurité des véhicules. Les directions assistées des petits véhicules hors route n’y font pas exception surtout lorsqu’on considère que plusieurs de ces véhicules sont utilisés à des fins récréatives seulement. Le développement […]

Continuous fibre (CF) aerospace preforms exhibiting excellent mechanical performance possess low formability characteristics and are confined to simple shell-like geometries with minimal curvatures. On the other hand, short fibre preforms such as randomly oriented strands (ROS) offer high formability but exhibit low mechanical performance. The manufacturing of composites involves time and huge costs. The overall […]

Depuis les vingt dernières années, l’informatique et ses exigences de bas voltage ont bouleversé l’équilibre qui était établi et perturbé la loi qui régente la répartition des tâches parmi les métiers et la loi sur les maîtres électriciens qui accorde une juridiction exclusive à certaines entreprises. Par conséquent, nous sommes devant une situation problématique vis-à-vis […]

Pyrometallurgical processes have long been used for producing ferronickel alloy. Rotary kiln – Electric furnace (RKEF) is one of the most important technologies for producing ferronickel. The process involves partial reduction of the ore in the rotary kiln with the addition of fuels and reductants. During the process, some impurities present in the fuels and […]

By creating real-time and hardware porotypes, the proposed research provides opportunities for better investigation of these converters and for development of advanced and effective methods for their control. The three interns that will be trained during this research partnership will gain in-depth knowledge of modern power system equipment and knowledge of the latest developments in […]

L’objectif du projet de recherche qui sera réalisé à l’Université d’Aix-Marseille est de créer et valider un modèle numérique de la tête, du cou et du torse. Ce modèle permettra d’évaluer l’effet des colliers cervicaux préhospitaliers sur la mobilité et les contraintes mécaniques dans la moelle épinière suite à une blessure au cou. Les colliers […]

The emerging high dynamic range (HDR) displays provide a much larger range of luminances compared to conventional low dynamic range (LDR) displays, thereby improving the visual impression of the displayed images or videos. With the advent of HDR displays, a number of key questions have been raised regarding the design of modern HDR displays. Most […]

Data centres generate a large amount of heat, from operating computers 24/7. This heat is normally wasted and released outside the data centre building. This research will determine the best way to capture the waste heat from a data centre and distribute it to other buildings in the area that require heating. The vessel for […]

Cyber-physical systems or Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications are more advanced than commercial IoT devices/applications mainly because of the prevalence of connected sensors and embedded systems in the industrial world. The objective of this project is to develop and package a low range, low power (LoRa Technology) remote asset monitoring and control system for […]

Aujourd’hui, les applications automobiles exigent des capteurs de position à différents endroits des véhicules ; par exemple sur la pédale d’accélération. Traditionnellement, ces capteurs ont été équipés par des potentiomètres. Avec la tendance à l’augmentation de la complexité technologique, il y a des risques croissants de défaillances des systèmes électriques et / ou électroniques. ISO […]
