This project aims to support the development of an automated chick sorting device that uses software, cameras, and conveyors. Techniques to increase the consistency of chick reactions to maintain separation along a conveyor and to induce wing spreads will be explored. The wing spread is required to expose to biological markers that exist on the […]

Plastics play a vital role in our daily lives, touching various sectors such as construction, healthcare, automotive, agriculture, and packaging. Packaging films, in particular, serve diverse purposes for both food and non-food items. However, the widespread use of disposable plastics leads to a significant waste issue. To address this, there’s a growing push to replace […]

Numalogics is a company that uses finite element models of the spine to offer consulting services for other companies, assist in the design of new spinal implants and surgical tools, and simulate surgical procedures. Currently, they apply pre-established loads to their models when running simulations of basic spinal movements. They require to assess whether these […]

Face masks play an important role in preventing droplets and filtrating exhalations coming from infected subjects or against various threats in the wearer’s surroundings. Approximately 129 billion single-use masks were discarded per month worldwide during the pandemic. The inadequate handling and management of single-use face masks cause many environmental problems. In contrast to disposable masks, […]

L’objectif principal de l’étude est de documenter le modèle de la Centrale agricole en effectuant une collecte de données permettant de réaliser une évaluation environnementale et économique du modèle mutualisé sur l’activité de ses membres. Pour la coopérative, les présents travaux permettront de préciser et de générer de la donnée sur les impacts du modèle […]

In Canada, one out of every nine hospital patients acquires infections annually, resulting in a minimum of 8,000 deaths. These infections often stem from inadequate sealing of transepithelial medical devices, which breach the skin’s protective barrier. While current treatments rely on antibiotics, the prevention of infections could be achieved through effective integration of medical devices […]

PCB stator motors are an emerging research area with cost and efficiency benefits compared to traditional motors. PCB stator motors with integrated variable frequency drives have the potential for significant power density improvements if Galium Nitride (GaN) power semiconductors are used in the drive. In this project, emerging high voltage GaN semiconductors will be used […]

In this project, we aim to investigate the applicability of a digital micromirror device (DMD) combined with microfluidic devices for the fabrication of complex 3D constructs at a micron scale. The fabricated constructs will be used as microrobots for biomedical applications.

Modern deep neural networks have demonstrated remarkable performance across various visual recognition tasks, including image classification and semantic segmentation. The effectiveness of these networks largely relies on having abundant labeled examples for each desired category. Acquiring such datasets, however, poses particular challenges in the context of semantic segmentation, where a label is required for each […]

Residential buildings contribute approximately 17% to Canada’s overall primary energy consumption, with the majority allocated to space heating, particularly space heating. The proposed research will focus on optimizing energy efficiency through inter-room air transfer, utilizing a central blower system. SmartCocoon’s product includes fans at each room diffuser (AKA vent/register) such that heat can be strategically […]
