Au Canada, 288 800 personnes âgées de 15 ans et plus utilisent un fauteuil roulant manuel ou motorisé ou un quadriporteur. Les bénéfices de aides à la mobilité pour les personnes ayant des incapacités sont bien connus. Volting (www.volting.org) est une technologie actuellement en développement qui se distingue du fauteuil roulant par sa capacité à […]

Printed electronics has the potential to deliver low-cost, high-volume fabrication of electronic devices, but is currently held back by the lack of a specialized quality control solution. Today, verification of functional properties such as conductivity is done with teams of technicians using simple multimeter probes, lacking the speed and accuracy required to characterize roll-to-roll production. […]

Waste paper is considered to have no value, destined for landfills. There is significant potential to process this waste and convert it to value added carbon-based products that will be developed, tested, and produced, namely Biochar, activated carbon, and carbon electrodes. Biochar is used in the agriculture industry for soil remediation to promote plant growth, […]

This project aims enhance the safety and reliability of hydropower systems by preventing the creation of significant sub-atmospheric pressures (i.e. vacuum) in penstocks during rapid dewatering events. Air-intake systems relieve vacuum conditions, but the 3D flow dynamics around these systems during emergency scenarios are not fully understood. The project will develop a comprehensive suite of […]

Le projet a pour objectif de renforcer le procédé d’extrusion de pièces en aluminium pour améliorer la productivité, augmenter la complexité des formes et garantir les performances mécaniques des profilés. Caractériser l’anisotropie des profilés extrudés en alliages d’aluminium (AA6063 et AA6082) fabriqués dans différentes conditions. Pour ce faire, il faudra effectuer des essais de micro […]

An asset management plan and policy serve as crucial tools for organizations aiming to optimize their asset utilization and management. These plans and policies provide a roadmap for maintaining and upgrading assets, ensuring cost-efficiency, and enhancing operational reliability. By implementing a well-structured asset management plan, organizations can make informed decisions regarding asset lifecycle management, reduce […]

Le projet proposé vise à développer un appareil portable, non invasif, sans fil et rentable pour la surveillance continue en temps réel de l’activité respiratoire et cardiaque. Cet appareil aidera à diagnostiquer et à surveiller les maladies en fournissant des mesures continues de la fréquence respiratoire avec une précision comparable aux normes médicales, ce qui […]

Carbon dioxide (CO2) atmospheric concentration has increased by 50% (from 280 ppm to 420 ppm) in the last century. Despite efforts to reduce emissions, industries vital to our economy, such as mining, marine transportation, and aviation, remain dependent on fossil fuels for their operations. These sectors are considered hard-to-decarbonize because they lack viable alternatives to […]

Telecom operators are demanding more flexible, scalable and energy efficient products. As a system integrator managing networks for operators, Ericsson realize that the benefits of using modern and improved systems is becoming even more critical, as they offer a reduced Operational and Capital Expenditure (i.e. OPEX and CAPEX) of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems. […]

Breast cancer remains a major global health concern, with high prevalence rates in new case diagnoses across the world. The primary challenge in breast cancer detection centers on achieving early and precise diagnosis as actual methods have limitations. The primary challenge in breast cancer detection lies in achieving early and accurate diagnosis. Current methods face […]

In recent years, factors like thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and energy consumption in school buildings have received increasing attention. Lecture theatres and chemistry labs pose significant challenges for HVAC design due to thermal stratification in lecture theatres and ineffective ventilation in chemistry labs, caused by large spaces and pollutant generation, respectively. Despite many studies […]

This proposal aims to develop a robust, low complexity infant cry deep learning classification based on various babies’ responses to physiological needs such as hunger or to discomfort and pain. The significance of this research lies in its potential to enhance early detection of needs and moods in newborns, contributing to improved infant care, early […]
