La fiabilité des alternateurs hydrauliques est un sujet d’importance pour les utilitaires afin d’assurer la fiabilité de l’approvisionnement en énergie électrique. La maintenance de ces équipements est donc un outil important dans la gestion et l’exploitation d’un parc d’alternateurs. Après un certain nombre d’années de fonctionnement, l’usure de ces equipements peut mener a I’apparition de […]

British Columbia – A History is a 4-part documentary television series and an interactive online historical timeline of the past 150+ years of BC history that will be comprised of interviews, archives and news research that will explore methods of historical recreation and knowledge production by incorporating an inclusive and multi-narrative approach to major historical […]

In a cognitive wireless mesh network, licensed users (PUs) may borrow surplus spectrum from other PUs and rent them to unlicensed users (SUs) for getting some revenue. For such spectrum sharing paradigm, maximizing the revenue is the key objective of the PUs, while that of the SUs is to meet their requirements and getting a […]

There is massive growth in the area of smart cities (e.g. sensors in streetlights), smart cars, and “smart people” (sensors on people, e.g. wearable computing). In some cities like San Diego, there are cameras and microphones in nearly every streetlight in the downtown core area. Most cars made now have one or more cameras in […]

Feed efficient finishing cattle with none or less severe cases of liver abscesses (LA) will improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the beef industry. The antimicrobial properties of garlic have not been evaluated towards mitigating the severity of LA. Studies evaluating the association between feed efficiency and LA and the integration of emerging feeding strategies […]

Automation Studio™ offre un environnement convivial pour la simulation. Il peut échanger de l’information avec l’environnement externe via OPC. Toutefois les logiques de contrôle restent internes et ne donnent pas la possibilité de transfert vers un contrôleur industriel cible. Une communication avec l’environnement externe donne un avantage à Famic technologie pour interagir avec les contrôleurs […]

Les véhicules aériens à décollage et atterrissage vertical (VTOL en anglais, pour Vertical Take-Off and Landing), grâce à leur capacité au vol stationnaire, sont particulièrement bien adaptés aux applications d’observation et d’inspection de structures, mais leur efficacité énergétique en vol “de croisière” est généralement médiocre. Ce travail porte sur l’étude expérimentale des caractéristiques du sillage […]

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells are a clean source of energy and a promising candidate for replacing internal combustion engines in automotive applications. However, the commercial use of fuel cells in such applications faces significant challenges on cost and durability. This project aims to address the concerns around fuel cell durability with a focus on […]

The proposed research program involves the development of a slinger combustion system for small gas turbine engine application. Development of slinger combustion system allows eliminating individual nozzles in the combustor, simplifying fuel system, reducing combustor temperature pattern factor, more uniform combustor flowfield that leads to lowering engine emissions. A relatively new combustion approach will be […]

For this project, we will develop the statistical theory to support, as well as a full functioning prototype for, a large-scale multidimensional data visualization application. This application, which will be fully scalable, will include an interactive user dashboard with customizable widgets. By taking a methodological approach to research, along with an agile approach to development, […]

Permanent magnets and magnetic field sensors are widely used in the automotive industry for the detection of the rotational speed of a gear or the torque measurement of gearbox shafts, vehicle axles, and electric motors. For instance, the action of a driving wheel can modify a magnetic pattern encoded in a transmission shaft. Magnetic sensors […]

Two overarching approaches to allocate the aggregate risk capital stand out nowadays. These are the top-down approach that entails that the allocation exercise is imposed by the corporate centre, and the bottom-up approach that implies that the allocation of the aggregate risk to business units is informed by these units. Briefly, the top-down allocations start […]
