Within the skilled trades industry, there is a pressing need to attract new workers and retain old workers. This need is especially apparent today due to the aging workforce and difficulties finding apprentices who are qualified for the role. Unfortunately, the mental and physical health of apprentices often are overlooked. To address these issues, we […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

Understanding the stretchy qualities of complex fluids is crucial for industries such as inkjet printing, food manufacturing, fiber spinning, and pharmaceuticals. Special devices called filament and capillary breakup rheometers are often used to study these properties. Despite this, one of the biggest challenges in these industries is accurately measuring the “relaxation times” — a key […]

When you go to the dentist and receive a white filling, this resin filling is hardened in the tooth using blue light from a dental curing light. Health Canada classifies curing lights as Class I Medical Devices, but they do not test if the manufacturer’s claims are correct. There are many different brands of lights […]

The energy consumption by Radiofrequency Integrated Circuit Power Amplifiers (RFIC PAs) in mobile handsets is a major factor determining the battery life of this equipment. Any increase in the power efficiency of RF PAs will reflect significantly as an increase in the battery life of the portable wireless devices. This work addresses the need to […]

This project aims at optimizing the use of energy in micro-grids. Reinforcement learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, will be used to reduce the consumption of fossil fuel by better deciding when to charge or discharge batteries. Using reinforcement learning for this automated decision making problem could be interesting as it should allow to handle […]

In this project, the intern will tackle the production challenges currently faced by the industrial partner. Specifically to overcome inconsistent open/close pressures of a low profile vent valves intended for active packaging of roasted coffee. Vent valves, made of multiple layers of polymeric materials, are capable of relieving the internal pressure of a coffee package […]

CarbOne Biodiversité has engaged with our research team to evaluate potential uses for lightly contaminanted soils to further develop the circular economy. The project will evaluate geotechnical properties of lightly contaminated soils to develop a list of proposed uses (e.g., foundations, fill materials, etc.). CarbOne Biodiversité aims to merge the needs of economic development with […]

The general objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) for the purpose of enhancing patent generation and brainstorming processes across various domains. The project follows an agile project management approach, emphasizing continuous small releases. The project is important to XLSCOUT as it aims to enhance text clustering, […]

This project is a necessary step toward model development for machine condition assessment that is capable of both diagnosis and prognosis including root cause analysis. The analytical model, once validated and calibrated can serve as a baseline model or a template for the detection of machine health problems. Because of the details of a machine […]

Ce projet vise à réaliser une étude de cas sur 3 entreprises québécoises : Interloge, UTILE et Mission Unitaînés. Ces cas décriront leur mode particulier de gouvernance et d’organisation en entreprise collective ainsi que leurs modèles d’affaires alternatifs et innovateurs en développement et en gestion de logements hors marché destinés à répondre aux besoins particuliers […]
