Ce projet vise à optimiser et déployer un algorithme innovant pour estimer en temps réel le volume de bois sur les abatteuses forestières. L’objectif est d’uniformiser et améliorer un algorithme existant afin qu’il fonctionne efficacement sur un ordinateur embarqué lors des opérations de coupe. Le travail se déroulera en trois grandes étapes : d’abord, l’uniformisation […]

Remotely monitoring the heart is crucial for reducing the hospital readmission rate of heart failure (HF) patients. However, for aging populations with physical and cognitive limitations, existing monitoring techniques such as self-management or CardioMEMS remain demanding or invasive. There is a growing need for easy-to-use and non-invasive remote monitoring. Ballistocardiograph (BCG) measures the mechanical vibration […]

This research project focuses on developing an advanced light detection system for high-speed communication networks. The interns will integrate a specialized photodetector (PIN photodiode) and an amplifier (Transimpedance Amplifier or TIA), using cutting-edge (16nm FinFET) technology. The photodetector quickly detects light signals at visible frequency, while the amplifier boosts these signals with minimal added noise. […]

The project aims to innovate by applying generative AI to network infrastructure, focusing on the development of models that can autonomously design network topologies, anticipate traffic patterns, and simulate various scenarios to proactively address potential issues. This collaboration will blend Nokia’s technological strength with the University of Ottawa’s leading research to create AI-driven network solutions. […]

The project relates to the fabrication of polymeric devices capable of mimicking that of live human tissue under x-ray computed tomographic (CT) imaging. These devices must be fabricated in such a way that specific material properties are controlled to thereby precisely mimic the desired tissue. The work following this will benefit the partner organization as […]

C-FER Technologies, specializing in advanced engineering solutions, primarily focuses on addressing industry challenges through rigorous testing and research in harsh operational environments. This project specifically engages C-FER’s expertise in high-pressure hydrogen testing and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) to tackle the pressing issue of hydrogen embrittlement in pipeline steels. By simulating extreme conditions, the partnership aims […]

There is a large stock of construction materials in existing built facilities, which when reaching their end of life, become a liability for their owners. The current practices of demolishing and disposing of these facilities when reaching their end-of-life generate considerable amounts of wastage and collectively can lead to landfill overuse; hence are not compliant […]

This project presents a novel software-centric architecture for enhancing network management and traffic processing in satellite communication networks. The architecture features a standardized communication framework enabling seamless interaction between a software-based Network Management System, traffic applications, and a new high-speed hardware processing module. This module, designed with a hybrid FPGA/CPU approach, provides high-performance modulation and […]

Ce projet vise à améliorer l’évaluation de la fonction du membre supérieur chez les enfants atteints de paralysie cérébrale. Actuellement, les cliniciens utilisent des méthodes qui prennent du temps et ne fournissent pas toujours des informations complètes. Ce projet va développer de nouvelles technologies qui permettront d’observer les mouvements des enfants de manière plus naturelle […]

Amélioration d’une plateforme B2B d’approvisionnement en agroalimentaire afin de favoriser le circuit-court. En particulier, l’ajout de fonctionnalités permettant de facilement créer et gérer des offres collectives à partir de la plateforme Arrivage. Ces nouvelles fonctionnalités permettront aux régions, pôles alimentaires et autres organismes collectif d’utiliser la plateforme pour créer et gérer une offre combinant les […]

A refrigerant leak is one of the major contributors of commercial refrigeration unexpected breakdowns. Conventional methods of leak detection using physical sensors are expensive, have limited capability of square footage coverage, and incapable of detecting slow and progressive refrigerant leaks. Accordingly, the development of a smart leak detection system without the need to include additional […]

Transitioning patients from hospital to at-home care is vital for health care operations. However, there is a general concern that these at-risk populations would not be receiving the same level of care at home as they would in a dedicated medical facility. Elderly populations experience a significantly higher risk of readmission after discharge from acute […]
