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 […]

Thermoelectric systems can produce electricity using temperature difference and heating/cooling effect using electricity. Thermoelectric systems are basically combination of p and n-type semiconductor materials. Thermoelectric systems have many advantages such as, environment friendly, no moving parts, silent in operation, and long service life. However, at this stage thermoelectric systems have very low efficiency so they […]

This project aims to develop a smart textile-based solution for early detection and management of sleep apnea, a condition that significantly impacts health, especially in those with chronic illnesses like heart failure. Traditional diagnostic methods are often inconvenient, uncomfortable, and expensive. To address these challenges, the project focuses on creating a comfortable, non-invasive, and cost-effective […]

FONEX Data System Inc. is developing solutions to address the challenges that telecommunication service providers face in upgrading their access networks to sustain the growth in data traffic. A key component of these solutions is the development of a low-cost, widely tunable external cavity laser (ECL) utilizing Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology. A significant advantage […]

Le projet de recherche s’intéresse à la problématique de la gestion des eaux pluviales dans l’arrondissement Ahuntsic – Cartierville à Montréal, accentué par l’augmentation des événements de précipitation extrêmes liés aux changements climatiques. Les infrastructures de drainage vieillissantes et les conceptions de l’époque rendent le réseau particulièrement vulnérable. Pour remédier à ces problèmes, deux principales […]
