Les technologies d’écrans tactiles arrivent maintenant dans les postes de pilotage des aéronefs en tant que moyen permettant aux pilotes de voir et interagir avec les données de vol. Les écrans tactiles sont cependant souvent placés à distance du pilote, et tous les aéronefs peuvent faire face à des turbulences. Même en absence de turbulences, […]

In this project we aim to automatically learn an augmenter network by using an approximate online bilevel optimization procedure. We plan to learn a augmenter network that generates a distribution of transformations that minimizes the loss on a validation set. By unfolding the gradients of the training loss, we will optimize the loss on validation […]

Dans le contexte industriel d’aujourd’hui, il y a un écart entre la productivité des grandes entreprises et les entreprises internationales contrairement aux PME manufacturières du Québec. Cet écart peut s’expliquer par l’amélioration de l’agilité de production des grandes entreprises grâce à l’utilisation de nouveaux outils technologiques leur permettant de répondre aux exigences de production de […]

Quebec swine production plays an important role in the Canadian economic. Cleaning and sanitation conditions are crucial for ensuring animal health and welfare. The washing, drying and disinfecting guide of the Fédération des producteurs de porcs du Québec provides general instructions for cleaning and sanitizing the facilities. However, a swine installation is a construction system […]

Au Québec, les propriétaires d’entreprises peuvent rejoindre une mutuelle de prévention pour bénéficier de cotisation plus avantageuse à la CSST et bénéficier, entre autres, de conseils et de formation. Compte tenu du grand nombre d’entreprises associées à une mutuelle de prévention, il est difficile pour les préventionnistes de répondre aux besoins spécifiques de chacune d’entre […]

Cannafish is a Startup working with hydroponic farmers to include manure and compost in their fertilisation plan. Doing so, they reduce the use of chemical fertilizer in hydroponics while valorizing organic residual matter. However, to replace chemical with organic fertilizers requires good practice and precision to achieve competitive yield. Hence, using a specific ion monitoring […]

Touchscreen technologies are making their way into aircraft flight decks as a means for pilots to view and interact with flight data. However, these touchscreens are often placed at arm’s length from the pilot, and all aircraft can experience turbulence. Even without turbulence, helicopter pilots in particular can be exposed to high levels of vibration caused by […]

Currently the implementation of navigation information systems – sometimes called “GPS” or GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) for convenience – is undergoing some significant transitions.  Additional satellite constellations are being proposed and fielded (Glonass, Galileo, Compass, SBAS) aggressively.  In addition location technology is rapidly being incorporated into the mass-market consumer space thru implementation in cellular […]

Mathematical modelling is the process of creating mathematical models describing the behavior of physical systems. Mathematical models of many physical systems (e.g., engineering, biological, economical, and environmental) are governed by ordinary differential equations [1].  These differential equations are usually nonlinear, and parameters might appear both linearly and nonlinearly in these equations.  Delay differential equations are […]

  This proposed project is a multidisciplinary study of the evolution of gold mineralization near the Musselwhite mine in the North Caribou terrane, northern Ontario. The objectives of this project are to: (i) To establish the geometry and spatial pattern of the structures that host the mineralization of ore, and further develop process-oriented exploration strategies. […]

  Allerta is a brand new consumer electronics design firm, focused solely on creating cutting edge mobile accessories that mesh seamlessly with Smartphone’s and a mobile lifestyle. Allerta is currently working on the second generation of its flagship product, inPulse – a wristwatch that connects wirelessly to a Smartphone allowing the user to view important […]

  There are several issues with using most stringed instruments. The sounds generated while playing these instruments are low volume sounds. Moreover, the player cannot control the volume or tone of the sound created by the instrument. These issues cause difficulty with hearing the generated sounds in large concerts. The aim of this research project […]
