High channel count sensor and actuator devices are needed to tackle a growing number of functions in aircrafts. With traditional avionics technology, connecting these devices results in bulky wiring bundles. The stringent safety standard of avionic systems requires redundant installation of all components on board, which further exacerbates the situation. Moreover, in new avionic systems, […]

In this project we aim to automatically learn an augmenter network by using an approximate online bilevel optimization procedure. We plan to learn a augmenter network that generates a distribution of transformations that minimizes the loss on a validation set. By unfolding the gradients of the training loss, we will optimize the loss on validation […]

The internship for each student will be under the supervision of Gilles Bourque PhD, the Combustion Research and Technology Team Leader. Mr Bourque has been working for the past 12 years at RR Canada of which 10 in the Combustion department. The student will be an integral part of his team and as such will […]

L’objectif du projet et d’améliorer l’efficacité énergétique d’un bâtiment en proposant le contrôle prédictif des équipements CVCA (Chauffage Ventilation et Climatisation de l’air) de ce dernier. Cette amélioration devra être basée sur la prédiction du nombre d’occupants dans un bâtiment. Nous utiliserons les capteurs standards et spécialisés pour estimer et déterminer l’occupation en temps réel […]

La gestion d’installation en phase d’exploitation et maintenance reste un véritable challenge pour les propriétaires d’actifs. La perte de données durant le cycle de vie du projet, l’accumulation de sources d’erreurs manuelles, l’inaccessibilité de la bonne information au bon moment font augmenter les coûts prévus à cet effet. Le but de ce projet est de […]

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif principal d’optimiser l’évaluation des limites de vibration dans les bâtiments industriels supportant un tamis vibrant attaché à la structure avec des supports flexibles. Afin d’obtenir les résultats réalistes d’une analyse de structure supportant des tamis, les ingénieurs dans la pratique sont souvent confrontés à la modélisation complexe de […]

Large network operators have to deal with dynamic network service changes, including scheduled or unscheduled outages, while keeping efficient service levels with different requirements. Currently available restoration techniques remain limited to after the fact detection of hard or catastrophic failures when the service has already been impacted. Machine learning technologies have been explored as a […]

Power characteristics of CAE equipment are regularly requested by the customers (some customers are penalized by their service providers for poor power factor, etc.), but there are presently no quick and safe means of logging power at the main power distribution and motion control cabinets. The goal of the power logger, to be designed and […]

Design, manufacturing and maintenance of aerospace products are cornerstones of the economy and social development of Quebec and Canada. In 2009, more than 78 000 Canadian jobs were related to the aerospace industry from which 45 % are in Quebec. These high technology jobs contribute to the quality of life and the economic growth of […]

The proposed research project will improve CM Labs’ operator training simulators with animated human characters that interact and respond to the underlying physical simulation. This will relay important dynamical cues to the trainee about the safety and correctness of the procedures. Furthermore, the developed animation controllers will allow objects to be manipulated in a realistic […]

Shot peening is a cold working process widely used to improve the fatigue life of metal components in the aerospace industry and to produce thin components with complex shapes such as wing skins. This process is accomplished by bombarding the surface of a metallic component with shots at a high velocity that induce a layer […]
