Le présent projet s’inscrit dans un vaste projet de réingénierie des flux physiques à l’intérieur des PME manufacturières québécoises et canadiennes. Le partenaire est un chef de file canadien du domaine et propose déjà plusieurs solutions commercialisées. Le but du partenaire est de développer un concept modulaire, flexible et interconnecté pour aider les PME à […]

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) combine communication and information technology functions to the physical components of a system for purposes of monitoring, controlling, and automation. The power grid is becoming one of the largest CPS, where grid components are controlled based on the synergies in the cyberspace. CPS hold a great promise to improve the efficiency and […]

This project is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and aims at developing a self-disinfecting personal protective equipment (PPE), such as goggles, and face shields, that are crucial to the safety of frontline workers. The low-cost, easy-to-implement fabricated end-product can be applied in both production and retrofit contexts. The approach embeds a thin layer of […]

Depuis décembre 2019, le monde entier vit une pandémie sans précédent qui requière des solutions novatrices et efficaces telles que les véhicules mobiles de désinfection par rayon ultra-violet à longueur d’onde courte (UV-C) qui sont capables de détruire le virus. Dans ce contexte, une équipe de recherche de l’UQTR et de l’Université Carleton s’associe avec […]

La recherche consiste à développer et valider un protocole d’utilisation des tests de contamination d’air et de surface par d’ATP-metrie, afin d’évaluer le niveau de contamination des systèmes de climatisation d’espaces confinés exposés à la Covid-19. La première étape consiste à mesurer la qualité de l’air par la méthode ATPmetrie afin d’être en mesure d’établir […]

As Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) become more ubiquitous, a special class of UAVs known as Unmanned Aerial Gliders (UAGs) promises to offer more efficient flight by using atmospheric energy to remain afloat. In order to facilitate the usage of UAGs in various applications, researchers have developed algorithms which allow for autonomous flight of UAGs. The […]

The coronavirus crisis has disrupted the social and economic fabric of communities around the world. This has profound implications for the sustainability and innovation challenges those communities are facing, and for the higher education institutions and professional educational businesses who have missions to prepare and support those communities to tackle those challenges. This research will […]

There is an urgent call for development of fast and sensitive diagnostic tools for early and on-site detection of infected individuals for containment of the current COVID-19 outbreak. These tools should also require minimal training procedures so that personnel with different backgrounds can run them on-site and get accurate data in short periods of time. […]

With the surreal times we are living in the context of Covid-19, wearing face masks has become a global public necessity. While many people are wearing face masks, not all masks are created equal. From very expensive high-tech respirators with multiple layers of filtration, to homemade face masks using less than ideal fabrics, the general […]

With respect to large-area display applications, it is desirable to have not only the active layers but also the electrodes in the OLEDs that can be formed by solution fabrication process. To address the manufacturing challenges of high-performance OLEDs, several scalable techniques such as doctor blading, ink-jet printing, and ultrasonic spray coating have been developed […]

A textile-based solution to remotely and continuously monitor COVID-19 symptoms Myant proposes to create a wearable textile solution with a compact electronic module able to record ECG, breathing movements, chest motion and sound, skin temperature, and blood pulse (oximetry and pulse shape to estimate blood pressure) in order to monitor key physiological metrics for individuals […]
