This project aims to develop tools that will actively monitor the electric grid and identify ways to resolve issues more quickly using detailed data from metering devices. By doing so, the project will assist utility companies in gaining an improved situational awareness of the power grid. The power grid has become increasingly complex due to […]

INLAN is pushing the boundaries of today’s asset-tracking solutions by innovating a highly scalable real-time asset-tracking technology. Implementation cost, tag cost, and system accuracy are the three primary parameters that need to be considered when evaluating an asset-tracking system. Obtaining high level of accuracy however, comes with several technological difficulties, among which the multipath effect […]

La mesure de pression artérielle en continue et sans brassard est largement convoitée par le milieu clinique. Ce stage permettra de contribuer à une preuve de concept qui pourrait permettre cette mesure. Plus précisement, ce stage consiste à développer l’electronique permettant l’acquisition des données provenant de différents capteurs utilisé dans une telle mesure.

Dans le contexte actuel de changements climatiques et de réduction des gaz à effet de serre (GES), les municipalités québécoises doivent intégrer des matériaux plus respectueux de l’environnement dans leurs projets d’infrastructures routières. Pour les aider à sélectionner ces matériaux, le projet vise à développer un outil d’aide à la décision qui leur permettra de […]

Oats and faba beans, often wasted in current processing methods, can be transformed into valuable food products. This can increase their economic potential and lessen environmental impact. Our proposal breaks down crop residues into sugars and lignin. Sugars are fermented into single-cell protein, while lignin is converted into vanillin. This vanillin, combined with sugars, produces […]

A consequence of modern development of low-permeability (‘unconventional’) reservoirs using multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) is inter-well communication. Because inter-well communication can affect well performance for many wells, oil and gas operating companies are interested in the development of easy-to-implement, but effective, reservoir engineering methods for quantifying inter-well connectivity between MFHWs. Current methods for quantifying inter-well […]

This project is part of the Canada Research Chair on the mobility of individuals, with a specific focus on understanding the shifts in travel behaviors after the pandemic. Its main objective is to construct models that capture the intricacies of mobility behaviors in a post-COVID world. Employing a diverse range of data sources, including insights […]

robotic TMS coil holder will be developed with the primary objectives of being low-cost and providing a haptic interface for intuitive user manipulation. The key approach to achieving these goals is through reducing the system to the minimal components and working envelope. Frameless neuronavigation methods are capable of easily placing the coil within millimeters of […]

Smart grids, the future of electricity grids, aim to accommodate the escalating global demand for electricity. Pivotal to this progression are wireless networks, which are crucial for monitoring and controlling electricity generation, transmission, and consumption. Wireless networks, with their cost-effectiveness, flexibility, expansive coverage, inherent self-organization, and rapid deployment, are superseding traditional wired communication. However, the […]
