Le Technoparc et le centre hospitalier universitaire Ste-Justine, auquel le centre de réadaptation Marie-Enfant (CRME) est rattaché, désirent offrir un service d’aide technique de classe mondiale pour une clientèle pédiatrique. Le service sera éventuellement logé dans le futur pavillon du Technopole de la Cité internationale de la réadaptation pédiatrique de Montréal dont le but est […]

Les principaux défis de la cybersécurité sont la protection des données sensibles, des renseignements disponibles sur Internet, et la lutte contre les actions de piratage numérique. Pour une banque coopérative comme le Mouvement Desjardins, le risque lié à la cybersécurité est important, puisqu’il peut remettre en cause la relation de service basée sur la confiance […]

The digital and bio-mechanical analysis of human motion is an attractive research field as it helps one understand and interpret pathologies affecting the body’s articular components. The goal of this project is to develop data analysis and automatic classification methods to differentiate between data from asymptomatic and pathological individuals. The data will be drawn from […]

After a ligament injury to the knee, clinicians must decide on an optimal treatment for their patient. In most cases, they prescribe either conservative therapies (physiotherapy with or without orthotics) or surgery (which allows doctors to use two different grafts). The Centre du genou Emovi proposes a biomechanical assessment to better understand the functional status […]

Progressive tension-increase tests are one of the diagnostic methods currently used by Hydro-Québec for the stator isolation system on its hydro alternators. This test is part of MIDA, an expert diagnostics toolkit in use at Hydro-Québec. The effect of certain flaws affecting the quality of the signal during the test, especially with regard to the […]

This project is designed to develop an inspection and evaluation method for structural brazed joints using ultrasounds. Priorities for such an application include the ability to ensure the integrity of brazed assemblies and detect internal flaws and vulnerabilities in the microstructure. Developing a reliable inspection method is essential for the use of structural brazed joints […]

Energy-production performance is one of the most frequently analyzed parameters by wind-power site operators. Carrying out performance assessments is not usually a technical challenge for so-called conventional sites. However, the complex nature of winds and their interaction with turbines does make it difficult to assess wind-power performance. To date, only standard CEI 61400-12-1, which assesses […]

Currently the implementation of navigation information systems – sometimes called “GPS” or GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) for convenience – is undergoing some significant transitions.  Additional satellite constellations are being proposed and fielded (Glonass, Galileo, Compass, SBAS) aggressively.  In addition location technology is rapidly being incorporated into the mass-market consumer space thru implementation in cellular […]

  The project aims to establish new design methods and digital signal processing techniques allowing robust and efficient universal navigation and communication equipment in the fields of aeronautics and aerospace. New avionic standards are under study and strong arguments exist for the adoption of software defined radios at this point of time. The project anticipates […]

Bringing cloud computing from the Internet domain to Next Generation Networks (NGN) in order to provide Telco cloud services will leverage the use of NGN, reduce costs and create many value-added services. It is therefore becoming critical for world-class carriers, like Bell and Telus, to adopt a cloudbased communications model. However, unlike public Internet clouds, […]

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 […]

A new generation of composites-intensive aircraft designs promises to dramatically accelerate the growth of a market currently valued at more than $7 billion (USD). The objective of this research program is to propose experimental and modeling methodologies to determine endurance limit for damage onset in composite based on fracture mechanics and fatigue crack initiation monitoring […]
