This project, sponsored by Safran Landing Systems Canada (SafranLS), involves the development of engineering techniques that enable rapid conceptual design of aircraft landing gear. The goal is to speed the early design of new landing gear to enable SafranLS to produce more, faster bids to manufacture landing gear for new aircraft at their two Canadian […]

In this project, we would like to develop an enhanced Multi-User Extended Reality Ground Control Station (MXR-GCS) to control an aerial vehicle using a virtual/actual controller defined within the virtual environment. Such an advanced portable MXR-GCS system is important to lower pilot workload and increase situational awareness. In the first place, a virtual ground control […]

Lorsque des équipements industriels sont en marche, cela produit beaucoup de vibration. Si ces vibrations ne sont pas contrôlées ou si la structure du bâtiment est mal conçue, cela risque de nuire à la sécurité des occupants. Dans le cas de certains équipements comme les réducteurs à lit fluidisé, les vibrations que cet équipement produit […]

Afin de débloquer les artères coronaires, des tuteurs métalliques sont implantés à l’aide de fil-guides. L’OptoWire, de la compagnie québécoise OpSens Inc, est un fil-guide muni d’un capteur de pression à fibre optique qui permet de déterminer l’ampleur du bloquage dans les artères, et si un tuteur est nécessaire. Afin d’améliorer le diagnostic, un concept […]

Instrumar Limited’s core technology platform is based on the measurement of electrical properties of materials that come in contact with its sensor. The sensor generates a tightly confined electromagnetic field that detects the properties as material enters this field. The sensor is sensitive to the amount, the shape, its density, temperature, conductivity, impurities, moisture content […]

Turquoise Technology Solutions Inc. (“Turquoise”) is a Google Partner firm based in Montreal. They have been working on recommender systems for books and recipes. They are currently interested in improving the accuracy of their recommender systems. In order to improve such a system, the goal is to extract the model of customers’ preferences using both […]

Brain wave technologies allow researchers and clinicians to monitor the brain at work. Our team has developed a new technology that uses electroencephalography (EEG) to provide an online record of different brain functions in a very short period of time. The brain waves recorded by this technology may change normally as time passes and previous […]

Downhole turbines are drilling tools that use the flow of downgoing drilling fluid inside the drillstring to turn a solid or hollow drive shaft, which can power or actuate other drilling tools such as turbodrills, electrical generators, hydraulic motors, and a variety of other mechanical, electrical or hydraulic devices. There are many versions of downhole […]

The main objective of this international research project is to answer fundamental chemistry questions on the molecular interactions between high-performance polymers of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyetherimide (PEI). This research project is a subpart of my Ph.D. project that aims to develop new high-performance polymer blends for the aerospace sector, i.e. to replace aluminum in the […]

Human-caused bruises, tail lesions caused by tail biting, ear lesions, among other things, in slaughter pigs are detrimental to animal welfare, a violation of the Animal Welfare Act, and a source of public concern. Animal-based indicators of welfare are quantifiable characteristics on the animal that are reflective of what the animal has experienced. The evaluation […]

The near-infrared imaging is a technique widely used in many medical applications, such as tissue imaging and non-invasive imaging of lymphatic systems. The market was estimated to be USD 950 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.1% to 2028. The conventional near-infrared system commonly employed is […]

Lower limb prosthesis users typically wear a silicone liner on their residual limb, which is the interface between their body and the prosthetic socket. Knowing the in-socket pressure distribution is extremely beneficial in ensuring proper socket fit and thus better gait and higher quality of life for amputees, considering the need of amputees for a […]
