Welding plays an important role in fabrication and assembly manufacturing. Selecting the appropriate process of electric arc welding is a task assigned to the experience of those who manufacture. The materials selection for applications is as important as the selection of the manufacturing process. The consequences of not perceiving this scope cause affectation in the […]

The goal of this project is to develop a more advanced cost-effective algorithm that can detect the road condition. The pressures signal from the pressure transducers installed on the struts of the off-road trucks are acquired and analyzed. The relationship between the road condition and pressure changes will be studied and researched. Based on the […]

As vehicle systems become more advanced, accurate information about vehicle states, parameters, and surrounding operating conditions becomes paramount for vehicle health monitoring and driver control systems. This information is vital for the production, cost, and efficiency of the vehicles, as well as a key to improving passenger safety. In commercial vehicles, not all parameters of […]

This project tackles heavy metals removal from two end-of-life streams, notably steel slags (SS) and municipal solid waste (MSW). These slags could be valorized and used in cement and concrete materials after eliminating heavy metals and other toxic components. Intensified cost-effective processes have the potential to be green alternatives for extracting and precipitating heavy metals […]

This research project will develop an automated maritime object detection and tracking system using fused images from infrared and visible RGB sources. The developed system can be deployed and used in patrol vessels for maritime surveillance. As the system takes advantage of both infrared and visible RGB images, it is capable of running for 24 […]

Developing energy-efficient and durable floor and wall systems is critical to modern precast building construction, particularly with extreme weather conditions in Canada and the associated high costs of heating. This project addresses the structural performance of two components critical to energy efficiency of buildings as a result of their low thermal conductivity, namely double-wythe ultra-high […]

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has shown a great potential in cancer detection, tissue characterization, and therapeutic applications. Compact, portable, cheap, and high frequency, but low-power, Laser Diode has been a new venue for PA imaging. Laser diode-based PA imaging can be a supplement for image guidance during prostate studies and nerve or cancer imaging procedure or […]

Les matériaux intelligents chromogéniques sont très importants pour les applications domotiques telles que les fenêtres intelligentes. Ces produits sont essentiels pour les applications d’économie d’énergie telles que les bâtiments durables. Parmi ces matériaux, les matériaux activés électriquement (électrochromes) offrent des avantages tels qu’un fonctionnement simple et linéaire. En comparaison avec les autres dispositifs électrochromes à […]

Typical horse bedding in BC consists of 90% woody materials and 10% hay and manure. Recycled bedding product has several advantages when compared to standard wood fibre bedding. Further densification into wood pellets with these recycled wood fibers is desired. This study is conducted to determine the efficiency of pathogen removal during the drying process […]

Canadian companies have been struggling and lacking a systematic way to locate the ideal candidate for job postings externally and internally. The application of advanced AI-based algorithms can potentially extract information from at least 20 thousand resumes to build an automatic system to match candidate skills to required job skills which is the primary focus […]

Pour favoriser le maintien de la production en contexte de développement durable, nous cherchons à conceptualiser un système permettant au Port de Trois-Rivières d’identifier les sources bruyantes individuelles qui sont à l’origine de dépassements des niveaux sonores permis. Les techniques traditionnelles ne permettant pas d’établir ce lien de causalité, nous faisons appel aux avancées récentes […]

The state-of-the-art polymer electrolyte fuel cells have catalyst layers (CLs) made of platinum catalyst on carbon support (Pt/C) bound together by proton conducting polymer or ionomer. To overcome the challenges of high cost of Platinum catalyst and corrosion of carbon support, alternative materials for catalyst and catalyst support are being considered. The interaction of ionomer […]
