L2M- Unobtrusive Monitoring of Heart Failure via Ballistocardiograph

In Canada, heart failure (HF) has a 30-day re-admission rate of 17.6%. While patient care at home via follow-ups and self-management may reduce this rate, factors including physical fatigue and cognitive frailty delay follow-up visits and impair the patient’s ability to self-manage. An implantable solution such as CardioMEMS is available to monitor HF, however, its […]

Recherche de l’influence des paramètres de fabrication sur la performance lors du cyclage thermique des barres d’alternateurs hydrauliques

La durée de vie des équipements haute tension, comme les alternateurs de puissance, est généralement limitée par celle de son système d’isolation. Le revêtement isolant utilisé pour les barres en cuivre représente l’élément de ces machines dont la résistance thermique et mécanique est la plus faible. En plus, les matériaux impliqués dans la conception de […]

Récupération et valorisation des rejets d’imprimantes 3D en Estrie

Nous cherchons à donner une seconde vie à des rebuts d’impression qui n’en ont pas actuellement. Il est également prévu d’avoir développé des modèles d’affaires basés sur les pistes de valorisation qui pourraient générer des profits générés par la vente de produits. En théorie, la plupart des types de thermoplastiques peuvent être fondus et recyclés. […]

Apprentissage machine fiable pour la centrale électrique virtuelle québécoise

L’apprentissage machine est un outil extrêmement polyvalent qui ne cesse de gagner en popularité à l’ère des données. Il peine pourtant à obtenir l’acceptabilité industrielle en énergie. Traditionnellement, l’apprentissage machine est peu interpré-table, n’offre pas de garanties de performance et est parfois imprévisible; ces particularités nuisent à la confiance qu’on lui accorde et freine son […]

Development of spectroscopic imaging technology for grain quality inspection

Fusarium fungi infestation causes Canadian grain producers a loss of almost $1 billion dollars per year. Fusarium fungi produce toxins, e.g., deoxynivalenol (DON) which cause toxic effects in animals and possibly humans. We will develop a portable hand-held hyperspectral imaging device to detect, in the field, Fusarium infestation in grains. We will also evaluate the […]

Testing Occupational Exoskeleton Performance in Different Types of Construction Activities

Occupational exoskeletons (OEs), including arm-support exoskeletons (ASEs) and back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) are wearable devices designed to assist and enable human motion for workers in various industries ranging from manufacturing to construction. As with workers in other industries, the opportunity provided by ASEs and BSEs for construction workers is to reduce injury rates for the benefit […]
