Ce projet a pour but l’étude, le développement, et le prototypage d’un élément de calcul hétérogène de haute efficacité et haute intégrabilité visant le calcul exascale de haute performance (HPC). Les éléments de calcul développés dans ce projet permettront d’avancer vers cet objectif via : (i) l’intégration de processeurs faible puissance les plus avancés avec […]

Le processus de détection et classification des défauts de surface consistent à analyser l’état de surface d’une pièce métallique. Y-a-t-il des défauts visuels dont on devrait se soucier? De quel type est-il? Il est possible, en utilisant certaines techniques mathématiques, de permettre à l’ordinateur d’analyser une image et de prendre ce type de décision. Naturellement, […]

There has been an increased use of freeze-drying in the pharmaceutical industry over the past few decades. This step converts a liquid product into a solid one without compromising its integrity, thus prolonging its shelf life. The monitoring and optimization of this process is commonly done by trial-and-error, leading to product quality control issues. Therefore, […]

This study will provide the information about the in vitro bioavailability of As and Pb in SierraSil® at the first time and validate the possible product specific bioaccessibility method that can be used to predict bioavailability. This study will first compare the mineral composition of SierraSil® after acid and alkaline digestion, thus it is possible […]

The construction of a recently developed pneumatic vehicle prototype is planned aiming at concept proof through light vehicle prototyping. The system considered is described in patent application for a novel compressed air / electric vehicle (ANCHEV) having a pneumatic system which works independently, but in conjunction with the electric system. There are air motors and […]

The project deals with the production of non-structural composite interior coverings for aircraft and other vehicles. Producing such interior coverings in Canada requires very good mastery of manufacturing processes in order to contain costs. Target times for preform preparation are of the order of minutes and manufacturing processes remain largely manual. Competition from emerging countries […]

The laboratory’s research is composed of three key arms that make up the core of its work. These are: Anterior segment, Intraocular tumors (including melanoma, retinoblastoma and ocular lymphoma), and Imaging and its correlation with histopathology, (in particular of normal and diseased retina). Within these research arms are multiple projects that several members of the […]

Le Canada figure parmi les plus grands consommateurs d’énergie par habitant au monde. En 2009, les Canadiens ont dépensé environ 11 p. 100 du produit intérieur brut (PIB) du Canada (près de 152 milliards de dollars) en énergie pour chauffer et climatiser les habitations et les bureaux, faire fonctionner les véhicules et les appareils ménagers, […]

This project will refine an existent technology developed by us for freeze-drying biological and medical solutions to produce powders. Freeze-dried bio-medical powders are used in pharmaceuticals as well as for food. The technology we will refine in this project is called atmospheric spray freeze drying (ASFD) and has the potential to be faster and more […]

In this research project, the separator of rechargeable hybrid aqueous batteries (REHABs) is mechanically strengthened with graphene oxide derivatives. ReHABs comprise of a lithium intercalation cathode, zinc anode and an aqueous electrolyte. One of the problems with current ReHABs is the zinc dendritic growth and propagation from the anode, which significantly reduces its operating lifetime. […]

The purpose of this study is to gather information relating to the one-way degassing valves used within the coffee industry in order to improve upon current designs. This will be achieved through studying the opening/closing properties of commercial valves, as well as using a model system to elucidate the effects of valve components on these […]

The amount of emissions to the atmosphere is currently an important environmental concern as policy makers and Heads of State are starting to demonstrate a strong interest in energy efficient transportation, in particular energy efficient aircraft. The task of energy optimization is typically left to a flight management system (FMS). However, many smaller commercial aircraft, […]
