Le projet de recherche portera sur une alimentation DEL (Diodes électroluminescentes) intelligente pour l’éclairage de bâtiments publics, d’enseignes, etc. Le stagiaire, dont le mandat sera de réaliser la partie électrique du produit, va devoir travailler en unisson avec une équipe multidisciplinaire composée d’ingénieurs et techniciens provenant de domaines comme la mécanique ou de l’informatique. Sa […]

AV Nackawic has experienced significant variations in the quality of its final product, including, pulp viscosity. There are many variables, both quality parameters of raw materials such as, wood species, chip size, and process conditions such as P- factor, EA, H-factor, play a key role in the overall quality of the final product. Due to […]

This project aims at designing and implementing an integrated control system for an audio power amplifier system for portable devices, having good efficiency and sound quality. The proposed design controls a DC-DC converter to produce a varying power supply to a class AB output stage. The varying power supply tracks the input audio signal and […]

Compound semiconductors are widely used in a variety of consumer products such as TVs, smartphones, lighting modules, as well as in high-performance applications, e.g. medical imaging. The reliability and performance of such devices strongly depends on the purity of the base materials. This project proposes a systematic investigation of the impact of the level and […]

Amphotericin B (AmB) is the drug of choice to treat systemic fungal infection. AmB is available as parenteral infusions given over a long period of time to hospitalized patients. Our goal is to develop a novel oral formulation to enhance AmB low absorption and decrease the nephrotoxicity associated with its intravenous administration. AmB will be […]

Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are land based fish farms that recycle the water from the fish tanks using multiple water treatment processes. Fish produce large amounts of carbon dioxide, through respiration, that needs to be removed during the water treatment process since high levels of carbon dioxide are hazardous to fish. Currently the most common […]

Rapid growth of renewable energy generation and DC loads as electric vehicles and consumer electronics results in the proliferation of DC microgrids. DC microgrids are small electrical grids where energy sources and loads are connected to a main energy distribution power line using power converters. A particular example of the use of DC microgrids can […]

Foamed concrete is a low-density product, created by blending a cement paste with a foaming agent. The foam is stable during the set-up of the concrete, resulting in fine, evenly distributed voids within the concrete matrix. In addition to its low density, properties of foam concrete include pumpability as a fresh concrete mix; and sound […]

Depuis 2011, une plateforme SAL (Synthetic Aperture Ladar) a été développée et testée en laboratoire à l’Institut National d’Optique (INO). L’INO souhaite maintenant évaluer la possibilité d’utiliser un tel système d’acquisition pour des applications réelles de cartographie urbaine, notamment de modélisation 3D intérieure. Actuellement, les balayeurs laser (i.e. LiDAR) sont couramment exploités pour réaliser de […]

Echinacea is a popular medicinal herb with a global market of ?$1 billion. While numerous Echinacea products are already available, variable plant chemistry and genetics leads to inconsistent product quality. In an effort to develop “chemically customized” varieties for herbal products and supplements, Amway Canada has partnered with researchers at the University of Ottawa and […]

The field of plastic waste management is essential for sustainable society that utilizes plastic waste for energy production. Land filing and incineration of plastic waste has large environmental impacts due to GHG emissions. Thus, pyrolysis is considered a low environmental impact process with high value end products. RF thermal plasma technology will help reduce operating […]

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and treatment of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life from […]
