Ce projet a pour but de proposer aux gestionnaires des centrales hydro-électriques d’Hydro-Québec des solutions d’organisation de la maintenance de turbine hydro-électrique à partir d’un indice prédisant l’état futur de la turbine. Cette organisation prendra en compte plusieurs aspects tels que la problématique liée à la demande en énergie (certaines périodes sont plus propices que […]

Gene therapy is one of the most attractive new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of multiple diseases. However, to apply gene therapy in clinic, an efficient and safe delivery system must be developed to transport these therapeutic reagents to target organs. The existing gene carriers suffer from either high cytotoxicity or immunogenicity problems, which will […]

Future broadband cellular systems will require very high throughput data transmission to satisfy ever increasing demands of mobile users for high speed multimedia services. Using innovative approaches to multiantenna transmission/reception and to cooperation of network nodes the achievable data rates can be greatly increased. Two significant obstacles to achieving very high data rates are interference […]

The main focus of this project will be conducting research and developing novel sensory systems to be used in various agricultural environments. The proposed research project also involves development of interpretation algorithms and data-mining software. Ecoation Innovative Solutions (EIS) developed a technology that monitor and interpret different plant signal patterns. The objectives of the proposed […]

Ericsson Ottawa develops cellular base stations that are components of cellular networks marketed by Ericsson. The base stations serve as the interfaces between mobile devices (cell phones) to wired networks and the internet. These network products require high reliability and availability, which results in the need to perform extensive testing on expensive hardware, replicating complex […]

The research project will develop key algorithms that enable pulse oximetry, on a smartphone, to be used effectively as a sleep apnea screening tool. LGTmedical has developed pulse oximetry that utilizes inexpensive clinical sensors driven by software running on a smartphone, sending the driving signals through the audio port. This technology already operates with clinical […]

The continuously increasing demand for wireless access, driven by the increasing requirements of our connected society, is pushing current wireless cellular communication systems to the limits of their capacity. The objective of this project is to continue the successful collaboration with our industry partner (Telus Corporation) to further contribute to the evolution of current generation […]

High-performance computing and communication infrastructure has reached an industrial scale, with equipment racks 100 meters long interconnected by cables carrying data at speeds exceeding 10Gb/s. This has led to growing interest in optical fiber communication for interconnect within infrastructure computing and communication installations, displacing conventional copper interconnect. Transitioning these relatively short-reach parallel links to optical […]

Cellular wireless communication has reached a level of coverage and reliability that it is considered a commodity. However, the dramatic increase in Internet traffic to and from wireless devices poses significant challenges for network operators. While the current growth of traffic is mostly due to consumers communicating more frequently and larger amounts of data over […]
