Global Positioning System (GPS) multipath reflectometry (GPS-R) has recently emerged as coastal sea level altimetry technique. GPS-MR is based on the simultaneous reception of direct and reflecting satellite signals, exploiting the signal-to-noise ratio measurements. Atmosphere affects the GPS signals proportionally to the height of the antenna and results to underestimation of the tidal amplitudes. Over […]

Nemaska Lithium Inc. est une compagnie québécoise innovatrice qui prévoit devenir un producteur important d’hydroxyde de lithium de haute pureté (grade batterie) sur le marché mondiale. Nemaska Lithium a développé un procédé de fabrication de l’hydroxyde de lithium de haute pureté en utilisant l’électrolyse membranaire, une méthode très sensible aux impuretés dans la solution initiale. […]

Aujourd’hui, les avancées de la robotique permettent aux personnes atteintes de trouble musculo-squelettique de s’équiper d’un bras d’assistance, habituellement placé sur leur fauteuil motorisé, qu’ils peuvent contrôler via une manette spécialement calibrée à leur niveau de force musculaire. Il a été démontré que ces bras robotiques sont bénéfiques à l’autonomie et à l’habileté de ces […]

Les logiciels actuels de DHM (Digital Human Modeling ou d’ergonomie virtuelle) destinés à la conception de situations de travail et de produits demeurent difficiles à utiliser ce qui en limite grandement l’utilisation par les concepteurs et les ergonomes. Pourtant, l’utilisation plus répandue de DHM permettrait d’en arriver à des environnements de travail plus sécuritaires et […]

The research will consist of exploring a new language as well as a new paradigm shift in the orchestration and analytics involved in operating a Fiber optical infrastructure equipped with IP routers and Computers. These computers will be equipped with programmable devices that will allow further instructions and detailing about the next generation of internet’s […]

L’industrie canadienne de la construction joue un rôle de premier plan dans l’économie du pays, en fournissant des millions d’emplois tout en faisant appel à un large éventail d’expertises. Ce secteur économique est toutefois confronté à un faible taux de productivité, alors que l’intensité de ses activités risque de ralentir au cours des prochaines années. […]

Advances in medical image scanning technologies has allowed for great improvement in medical care, from early tumor detection, to trailered treatments and predicting treatment outcome. However, this has resulted in the generation of huge medical image databases, with thousands of medical image scans per patient that need to be examined by clinicians, making it impractical […]

A helmet and its components such as chin strap are designed, tested, and certified for compression force only while neglecting sharp twisting of the brain. The goal of this project is to develop and integrate a Force Sensitive Mechanism (FSM) to a chin strap of a football and bicycle helmet. FSM offers a controlled tightness […]

n power generation and delivery systems, there are always a number of control/design parameters and set-points that should be tuned to some optimum values for maximizing efficiency and output power. For example, in photovoltaic cells, there is an optimum load value that maximizes the output power. This value may change over time depending on the […]

This research project will allow us to assess how similar two news articles are to each other. This may be easy for a human to do, but for machines this is actually quite hard. OpenReg will make use of this assessment to determine if a news article is important for their users. The goal is […]

The City of Ottawa is proactive in its drinking water treatment practices and has worked with Health Canada in developing frameworks for integration of quantitative microbial risk assessments (QMRA) into drinking water treatment decision-making. While considerable data necessary for applying QMRA in Ottawa are available regarding protozoan pathogens and treatment indicators during various periods of […]

Ecology North wants to hire architecture, engineering and urban interns to assists in the research, outreach, awareness and education of the world’s most advanced sustainable building practices, towards the creation of a building that makes the best use of regenerative architecture, to heal the planet and the people. The project is for the construction of […]
