Les développeurs/auditeurs utilisent régulièrement des outils d’analyse statique pour trouver des vulnérabilités logicielles. Malheureusement, ces outils sont loin d’être parfaits: une personne doit passer en revue ces vulnérabilités et décider de les traiter ou non. L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est d’augmenter les performances d’outils d’analyse de code statique tel que FindSecurityBugs (logiciel libre […]

Exploration and production of oil and gas in deepwater increases the demand for offshore research not only in Canada but also in other parts of the world. In deepwater, large floating platfonns are attached to the seafloor by steel catenary type risers. The risers are generally highly stressed near the touchdown point at the seabed. […]

This project focus on designing a fatigue cycling machine to test soil openers for low cycle, impact fatigue. This process begins by identifying and characterizing the load in case, and then continue into detailed design, fabrication and commissioning. Characteristics such as robustness, reliability and safety will be strongly emphasised. This testing machine will then form […]

Les systèmes photovoltaïques sous concentration (CPV) sont actuellement les systèmes photovoltaïques présentant l’efficacité la plus élevée. En concentrant les rayons lumineux du soleil sur une petite surface de cellule solaire à très forte efficacité (>40%), des performances au niveau module supérieures à 30% peuvent être obtenues. Cependant, ces systèmes nécessitent de pointer à tout instant […]

Ericsson is an industry leader in offering telecommunication solutions and products. As an important step on the path towards the automatic and autonomous management of next generation networks, Ericsson is developing technology in machine learning and artificial intelligence that will benefit operators around the world, including in Canada where Ericsson supplies technology to most of […]

The industry partner of this project has an elevator modernization project that includes increasing the current speeds of their elevators by more than 30%. However, increase in speed is usually associated with increase in aerodynamic and lateral forces on the elevator cars, which can negatively affect ride quality and noise levels. The objective of this […]

The Project’s objective is to continue the upgrading work executed in the previous MITACS Converge project with a larger focus on more challenging biocrude oils such as heavy fractions, high viscosity, high nitrogen, high ash oils that are produced from feedstocks such as “feed gate residues” in the form of manures, biosludges and organics from […]

Design of loadbearing, out-of-plane (OOP), tall masonry walls tends to have stringent limits related to their buckling stability and the scarcity of research on their structural reliability. This currently puts the masonry industry at a disadvantage as a construction alternative compared to other structural options. The proposed research investigates the strength of tall masonry walls […]

The thermo mechanical pulping (TMP) process uses large amounts of electrical Energy to turn wood chips into separated pulp fibers suitable for papermaking Hecent advances being developed by supplier-mill partnerships employ fiber fractionation processes between refining stages to achieve significant reductions in total energy consumption During this internship these new processes will be investigated to […]

Sensoreal’s patented technology allows them to perform complicated laboratory health testing procedures on a plastic microchip the same size as a credit card. The testing is done through the use of passive microfluidics, in much the same way as trees transport water to their leaves. A blood sample is placed in the loading port of […]
