The purpose of this project is to design features and enhancements to tensioned-membrane structures to achieve ‘net zero’ building performance. Net zero buildings are defined as buildings that generate as much or more energy than they use over the course of a year. Sprung Structures Ltd, a manufacturer of tensioned-membrane structures, requires assistance in researching […]

The objective of this project is to test the feasibility of the membranes for membrane distillation (MD), developed recently by University of Ottawa researchers, to treat hog urine for the production of clean water in lab scale as well as with a demo unit. The MD process is eventually integrated as a part of the […]

Innovation Maritime is providing technical service to the advancement of the marine sector. In partnership with Innovation Maritime, this project aims developing planning optimization tools to be embedded in one of their decision support software for supporting a federal Crown corporation responsible of providing safe and efficient marine pilotage services to vessels transiting in the […]

Having a look inside of the brain helps us understand its mechanisms and can be done using different methods. One particular method used in mice is called fiber photometry which consists of placing small optical fibers inside a particular region of the brain and shoot light through that fiber into it. The different cells in […]

This project shows the possibility of decreasing the power consumption of Industrial robotics. Design methodology for Intelligent Energy Management for Production Facilities with Robotics Automation [IEMPRA] is proposed to Cherkam, by predicting the energy consumption over the energy model, which delivers a guide to enable energy-efficient approaches. The total energy consumption is evaluated using ML […]

Cette recherche porte sur le développement de nouvelles méthodologies de diagraphies qui seront adaptées et optimisées pour le contexte des fondations rocheuses des ouvrages de génie civil. Le travail de la thèse consistera d’abord à évaluer les potentiels d’intégration des différentes techniques de diagraphies disponibles dans un système holistique. L’identification des spécificités du domaine du […]

The goal of this partnership is to conduct preliminary research on developing a hand-held biosensor built from state-of-the-art silicon photonics technology. The multiplexed architecture of our biosensor will allow us to simultaneously assay for different infections; it will be a general platform. UBC has developed a new architecture for low-cost multiplexed testing (patent pending). This […]

In thermal-solvent assisted gravity drainage recovery processes, bitumen viscosity reduction takes places under combined effect of heating and dilution. Imperial has been optimizing the existing solvent recovery processes and developing new technologies to improve the efficiencies and environmental performance of the heavy oil production operations. Recent focus of the company has been in the area […]

Autonomous vehicles (AV) need to see ahead since the driver no longer drives the vehicles. The driver’s eye in AV is replaced by the Light Detection and Ranging (Lidar). However, the distance ahead of the autonomous vehicle that must be available, called sigh distance SD, is less for AV because the perception-reaction time of the […]

La filière de l’hydrogène est en pleine effervescence au Québec. Pour accélérer son déploiement, de nouvelles utilisations de l’hydrogène doivent être ciblés. L’industrie lourde, ses activités industriels et les parcs industriels et portuaires qui les abritent sont de potentiels utilisateurs d’hydrogène. Ce projet vise à identifier de nouvelles utilisations de l’hydrogène dans un parc industriel […]

A new computational model will be developed that allows the industrial partner to design more efficient sand separation devices for the oil and gas industry. The computer model will be developed within an open source software, which means that, in addition to benefiting the industrial partner directly, it will also contribute to the increased accuracy […]
