As we advanced into the information age, the need for high capacity communication channels is becoming ubiquitous. As the next generation of satellites is being deployed there is a need for efficient interconnections between them, especially for those forming low earth orbiting constellations for the coming Internet-of-Space applications. The limited radio frequency spectrum available is […]

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is frequently performed for various manufacturing sectors, but its current practices require human operators to be involved in all aspects of the data collection, transfer and analysis. With the advent of Industry 4.0, NDE technology needs to be upgraded to “NDE 4.0” comprising essential aspects such as automatic and autonomous NDE, interconnectivity […]

Bien qu’elle soit la source d’une part importante des approvisionnements aux usines de transformation, la production de bois en provenance des forêts privées du Québec demeure nettement inférieure à la possibilité forestière. Des enquêtes menées auprès des propriétaires nous ont permis de documenter certains facteurs socio-démographiques reliés à l’engagement des propriétaires envers l’aménagement forestier. Dans […]

The aim of this study is to develop novel biolubricants based on complex esters for non-internal combustion engine applications, and the main task of this project include synthesis and characterization of complex esters derived biolubricants. vegetable oils cannot be used directly as lubricants due to some performance limitations such as thermal and oxidative stability. In […]

Arcelor-Mittal opère un mine d’oxyde de fer dans la région de Fermont dans le nord du Québec. L’oxyde de fer est utilisé pour produire l’acier. Le minerai extrait de la mine est traité pour enrichir l’oxyde de fer (Fe2O3) en le débarrassant du quartz qui est le principal contaminant. Ce traitement permet de passer d’un […]

Cooking activities are the main source of indoor pollutant emissions. Domestic range hoods are the most efficient technology to ensure a good indoor air quality. Running low efficient hoods at high air flowrates during and after cooking may ensure low concentrations of indoor pollutants in the kitchen, while being high energy demanding and noisy and […]

The dissolving pulp produced by Neucel Specialty Cellulose is a grade of pulp with high purity of alpha cellulose and used as the raw material to manufacture synthetic fibers, plastic materials, etc. The viscosity of pulp, one of the crucial factors, is undesirably decreased in the bleaching process, particularly in the hot alkali extraction stage, […]

Rapidly diversifying technologies are driving demand for power supplies that can meet a wider range of and more intermittent power needs. Main drivers include transportation, renewable energy grid connections, energy storage, and consumer electronics. Tesla has recently purchased a top supercapacitor company, Maxwell Technologies, to streamline these advancements to product integration. Supercapacitors are an important […]
