Although home hemodialysis (HHD) benefits patients including improving their lives’ quality, self-cannulation is currently a limiting and challenging step in their treatment. In this study, we aim to solve this problem by developing an epidermal film/patch with a vein visualization capability. A detachable mobile needle-guide tool can be mounted on the epidermal patch which can […]

An analysis is to be conducted to investigate the integration of a hybrid power system for a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A hybrid power system is proposed as a substitute to the existing batteries to enhance the endurance of UAV systems. A UAV with flexible PV?panels and a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is […]

Les sites miniers Doyon et Bouchard-Hébert possèdent des milliers d’hectares couverts par des tonnes de résidus miniers. Vu l’impact majeur des déchets miniers sur l’environnement. Depuis 1995, les lois sur l’obligation de la restauration de tout site minier en activité ont été imposées par le ministère, en collaboration avec Ministère de l’Environnement, Développement durable et […]

Killick-1 is a satellite that will launch in late 2022 and the project is meant to train engineering students in space systems in order to build capacity in the province in this domain.

Commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are purpose-built vehicles that are tailored to the intended applications and use cases. As the use cases for UAVs continue to grow, so do the needs for new, bespoke vehicle designs. This is especially true in the use of UAVs for high-speed reconnaissance and surveillance where speed and agility must […]

This project aims to develop cost estimation models using data analytics and machine learning techniques. In addition, throughout project execution, cost control and monitoring approaches will be further explored. These approaches will benefit from Work breakdown structures (WBS) and Enterprise Resource Planning models (ERP). Finally, the research will focus on developing project planning and management […]

The proposed project aims to de-risking the investment in CO2 capture technologies mainly and reduce the costs by developing a process model supported by the experimental tests for different blended solvents for various flue gases. In doing so, the project aims in developing the kinetics of the blended solvents and develop the hydrodynamic models for […]

Based on a 2006 census, it is estimated that Canada has 300 remote communities with a?total population of 200,000 people that are not connected to the North American electrical grid.?The primary source of electrical power and heating in Canadian remote communities is predominantly using diesel generators. Most of the diesel generators have been sized when […]

This internship aims to improve the design and development of an innovative patented process to recycle these polymer-coated paper products and waste coffee cups. By addressing the issue of waste papers, using this green technology, we would save 80% of water, while also achieving a 74% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a 35% […]

A ring resonator is a waveguide that circles around to make a closed usually circle-shaped loop. The electromagnetic wave may travel within this loop and instructively interfere with itself if the travel length is a multiplicative of the wavelength of the wave. In such a situation, energy builds up in the ring and very strong […]

One in three women, including up to 58% of pregnant women and 48% of new mothers, experience a pelvic floor disorder (PFD) in their lifetime. PFD affects the everyday lives of women from urinary continence, fecal continence, painful sex and their shame in discussing these symptoms. The lack of comprehensive medical devices to provide for […]

Physical disability in Canadian adults is largely due to painful mobility impairments, with the most common cause being diseases of, and injuries to, the musculoskeletal system and connective tissues (MSK disorders). MSK disorders are generally associated with natural aging, but are also caused by occupational injuries as well as brain or spinal cord injury or […]
