We experimentally investigate the electronic transportthrough a double-wall carbon nanotubefilled with Fe nanoparticles. Atvery low temperatures, the Kondo effect is observed between theconfined electrons in the nanotube quantum dot and the delocalizedelectrons in the leads connecting the nanotube. We demonstrate thatthe presence of magnetic nanopa...
A study of high-performance power electronics and their associated high efficiency cooling system is proposed in this work. The purpose of the research is to find, design, study and optimize high-efficiency power electronics cooling system for a hybrid propulsion aircraft. The purpose is to find the most performing and efficient cooling system to a...
The use of pinned photodiode (PPD) based CMOS image sensors in harsh radiation environment (such as space) is limited by their tolerance to ionizing radiation. Technology computer aided design (TCAD) simulations are performed to reproduce the radiation induced defect and therefore the dark current increase in pinned photodiode pixels up to 1 kGy (i...

We present the results of the implementation of two VCSEL-based optoelectronic oscillators (VBO) using one on-chip 850-nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). The reported VBOs are implemented at 10 and 12 GHz using a direct-modulated VCSEL. The laser direct modulation bandwidth is 13.3 GHz. The VBOs performance is described through the ...
This paper considers an iterative procedure to design a minimum possible order unknown input functional observer for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the observer are given. The proposed procedure is simple and is based neither on the solution of a generalized Sylvester equation nor canon...
Temperature-induced solder joint fatigue is a main reliability concern for aerospace and military industries whose electronic equipment used in the field is required to remain functional under harsh loadings. Due to the RoHS directive which eventually will prevent lead from being utilized in electronic systems, there is a need for a better understa...
Nowadays, companies producing goods use production systems that are equipped by different sensors in order to monitor efficiently their behavior. Most of the time, the information collected by these sensors is mainly used for production monitoring rather than to analyzing the state of health of the production system. By so doing, these companies ha...
This paper concerns a ground penetrating radar system (GPR) presenting beam forming ability. This ability is due to a great flexibility in the emission of wavefronts. The innovative concept is to use an array of antennas which can reconfigure itself dynamically, in order to focus on a desired target. This antennas system can act as a new microwave ...
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are widely used in wastewater treatment processes. However, membrane fouling mitigation remains challenging. Several strategies have been developed industrially to enhance MBR productivity, including coarse bubble aeration. The way such aeration participates in hydrodynamic patterns is an important research topic given i...
