Le présent projet se veut une étude de faisabilité sur l’élaboration d’une cellule robotisée de collaboration entre humain et machine. Le défi est encore plus important du fait de la taille de l’entreprise. Il est en effet rare qu’une entreprise de cette taille (moins de 10 employés) utilise la robotisation pour améliorer ses processus et […]

Research has shown that by monitoring the vibration of the heart using a simple sensor mounting on the human chest, the mechanical characteristics of heart can be measured. The purpose of this research is to design software that can automatically find some important points on the SCG signal. The software will be used to find […]

Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of death in twin pregnancies. A variety of parameters, such as cervical length, maternal medical history, demographics, and obstetric characteristics all have been shown to affect the risk of PTB. However, the relationship is not obvious. Early prediction of PTB in these pregnancies can assist physicians in identifying […]

Les capteurs de gaz à base d’oxydes métalliques connaissent un engouement croissant pour les applications industrielles, militaires et environnementales. ZnO est un oxyde métallique semi-conducteur à large gap direct possédant de nombreuses propriétés physico-chimiques qui sont nécessaires pour les capteurs de gaz de type oxyde métallique. La plupart des capteurs disponibles actuellement sur le marché […]

Today, electronics manufacturing is one of the world’s largest industries, and it continues to expand with the advent of consumer electronics, from smartphones, wearables, electric vehicles, etc. With Industry 4.0 technologies, electronics manufacturers can transform their production capabilities so that they can be more flexible and responsive to dynamic market forces, and smart electronic factories […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à effectuer une analyse rétrospective (statistique) de la qualité de l’eau brute à l’usine de traitement d’eau potable secteur Québec Ville de Québec à l’aide de données historiques sur la qualité de l’eau de source et des événements pluviométriques. De plus, il est envisagé d’utiliser des outils de modélisation à […]

CiviCRM is an open source constituent relationship management system used by over 11,000 non-profit organizations around the world. Although about 170 host more than 250k records, about a quarter are used by small non-profits with between 2,500 and 10,000 contacts. These organizations maintain sensitive personal information including donation information, event attendance, volunteering data, and case […]

The GRRIT (Glenrose Rehabilitation Research, Innovation and Technology) hub within Alberta Health Services is collaborating with the University of Alberta to support the development of innovative products to benefit people living with physical or cognitive disabilities. We also have working relationships with industry, entrepreneurs, clinical staff, patients, and families who have expertise in engineering, design, […]

La production de biodiésel (et donc de glycérol) à partir des lipides devra être effectuée dans des usines de capacité relativement limitée, donc délocalisées. Une délocalisation similaire des usines de conversion du glycérol pourrait alors s’avérer avantageuse ce qui générerait la création d’activité économique nouvelle dans les régions qui comme le Québec ne bénéficient pas […]

Xanantec is currently working on a multi-year project to commercialize a novel precision feeding system for poultry. This project involved mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and software development. This project will provide assistance to the partner organization in completing this commercialization activity. Xanantec Technologies Inc. is an engineering consulting firm based out of Edmonton Alberta and […]

Fire-related events can result in substantial losses represented by injuries, fatalities, and structural damages. To protect Canadians, there is a real need to identify key risk factors that contribute to the frequency and severity of such events, and subsequently, devise mitigation strategies that prevent structural fire risks. The powerful combination of incident data sources and […]
