Design and Optimization of a New Bio-Inspired Microphone Technology

This research project aims at developing acoustical reference designs and mechanical mounting guidelines for a new type of acoustical flow-sensing velocity microphone designed by a local start-up company. Multi-physics models developed using COMSOL, as well as experimental measurements with specialized acoustical equipment such as acoustic monopoles or airflow source, will be used to characterize the […]

Novelty Detection in Lunar Analogue Terrains

Lunar and planetary rovers are faced with a high volume of data from their sensors and cameras, and yet decisions must be made rapidly to prioritize to which crater it should drive up to and of which rock it should take a closer look. In Canada’s intended upcoming exploration of the Lunar surface aboard short-timescale […]

Modèle intelligent de prédiction de pannes à partir de capteurs installés dans un bâtiment

Une institution de Montréal possède un ensemble de bâtiments où sont installés des capteurs de toute sorte générant quotidiennement des milliers de mesures (entre autres vibration, température, pression, ouverture/fermeture de portes). Ce projet, piloté par la compagnie Ai Outcome, vise à mettre en place un modèle automatique de détection qui permettra de prédire les pannes […]

Low Dose Computed Tomography Imaging: Measuring effects of denoising algorithms by means of objective and subjective measurements, and algorithms parameters optimization

In Computed Tomography (CT), X-ray radiation is used to penetrate through the internal structure of the patient body in order to produce digital images. This means patients could be exposed to certain level of X-ray radiation dose. Accumulation of these exposures beyond certain threshold could increase risk offatal cancer. Thus it is of paramount importance […]

Improving Conditional Text Generation Algorithms

The aim of this project is to survey and develop methods for improving text generation algorithms. Natural Language Generation (NLG) is a subfield of Deep Learning that studies how to enable computers to write coherent texts. Current methods lack the capacity to adapt the content they generate, producing articles that are not always coherent nor […]

Développement d’un contrôleur de batterie lithium-ion

Le besoin de développement d’un tel contrôleur est motivé par la disponibilité grandissante de bloc-batteries lithium-ion récupérés de véhicules électriques accidentés ou ceux dont la pile arrive en fin de vie utile. Chaque type de cellule lithium-ion comporte des caractéristiques de charge et décharge qui doivent être étroitement surveillées pour éviter d’endommager la cellule et […]

Climate-related Disclosure Best Practices

Mantle314 is developing a software platform (Manifest) that will help companies to learn, assess, manage and disclose climate-related risks and opportunities. Mantle314 is currently working on minimum viable product (MVP) experience which will be the first step toward automating an end-to-end climate change-related planning and disclosure process. This first experience will help a company to […]

Le processus de transfert des données lors du livrable des actifs bâtis: comment les outils technologiques répondent aux demandes du client dans le contexte des normes en vigueur.

Ce projet tentera d’observer la mise en application des normes de gestion des données du bâtiment (ISO19650) lors du transfert des livrables numériques d’un actif. Le contexte de cette étude de cas suivra le transfert des données provenant d’une équipe de conception/construction et allant vers une équipe d’opération et de maintien des actifs. L’efficacité de […]

Fabrication of HTV-SR/ATH/DE/FS Nanocomposites Emerging Damage-tolerant Volumetric Superhydrophobicity Followed by Assessment of the Icephobic, Self-cleaning, Thermal, and Electrical Properties for Application to High-voltage Insulator

Given the detrimental effect of the ice and pollution accumulation on the high-voltage insulators, fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces having icephobic and self-cleaning is highly demanded. Superhydrophobic surfaces possessing low surface energy materials with favorable surface roughness have attracted tremendous attentions in both science and technology. However, lack of favorable mechanical durability of such appealing materials […]

Digitized neuroanatomical map of the human saphenous nerve

Overactive bladder (OAB) is an incurable, chronic medical condition that is characterized by symptoms of urgency, frequency, nocturia and urinary incontinence. It affects approximately 18% of adults and over 30% of the elderly population. Saphenous nerve stimulation is a novel therapy aimed at treating OAB patients. It offers an alternative to bladder medication, which can […]

Minimiser les efforts d’annotation lors du développement d’un modèle prédictif en traitement des langues

Développer un modèle prédictif en traitement automatique des langues requière la création d’un corpus annoté : un texte et des annotations que l’on tentera de reproduire automatiquement. Il s’agit d’une activité à la fois complexe (les annotations sont souvent du ressort d’un expert) et coûteuse (annotations méticuleuses à produire en grande quantité). Le projet vise […]
