This project aims to provide a sustainable and low-cost packaging machine for small businesses in the cosmetics industry. This machine will be able to fully automate the packaging process for cosmetics, while also providing a near zero-waste usage. The material used for the packaging and for holding the cosmetic samples will be optimized to find […]

L’étude des microplastiques (MP) en suspension dans l’air extérieur en est à ses balbutiements. Des données recueillies en Europe, en Asie, en Océanie et au Moyen-Orient ont mis en évidence des concentrations significatives, ce qui pose de nombreuses questions sur l’exposition des populations et les conséquences en termes de santé publique. En effet, quelques travaux […]

Automation of medical diagnosis/detection process is very important in terms of enhancing diagnostic accuracy, increasing throughput, reducing cost, and training new staff. Our current goal is to go from the proof of concept stage (automatic recognition and classification of human blood images) to a complete working optimized prototype and to start testing it in an […]

This project aims to continue an academia-industry collaboration between INRS and Applied Nanotools Inc. (ANT) to collaboratively develop high-accuracy nano-positioning using an optical imaging approach. The major goals include (1) the development of the second-generation moiré-fringe-based optical nanopositioning system (MONAS-2.0), (2) the technology transfer of this system to ANT, and (3) the exploration of new […]

La pandémie de la COVID-19 et l’intensification marquée du travail ont provoqué des changements importants dans le monde des affaires. Entre autres, les querelles et les disputes ne sont pas rares en organisation. Soucieux de cette réalité, l’organisme partenaire a développé une formation portant sur la bienveillance afin de favoriser un environnement de travail harmonieux. […]

The abradable rub strip (ARS) material’s main function is to minimize the clearance between blade tips and the fan case, thereby increasing the overall engine efficiency. Under tensile and compressive loading, the abradable material behaves different, and has a significant post-failure compaction under compressive loading. Therefore, its characterization is complex and requires a wide range […]

One of the most important pieces of equipments used in maritime transportation for Self-Unloading (SUL) bulk carriers is the “conveyor belt,” which allows the ship to be a very effective and competitive solution. However, the conveyor belts use much energy, which means huge consumption of fuel materials that lead to the emission of polluting gases […]

VeriGrain™ Sampling Inc. (VeriGrain) is an AgTech firm who has created a farm inventory data management system. They solve a substantial problem in the food chain which results in grains being undervalued, under- utilized, and untraceable. VeriGrain requires the ability to connect to third party agricultural software so that their customers do not need to […]

The proposed research aims to evaluate different processing techniques to ensure sugar kelp’s safety and stability as a biofertilizer for potato production. And nutrient contents of the processed kelp will be determined, and plot-scale experiments will be conducted to grow potatoes under exclusive and in-combination application of processed sugar kelp with synthetic fertilizers for 2-years. […]

Advanced aerial drones have extensive applications in industry, e.g., water resources management, warehouse operations, search & rescue, and geographic mapping. Current drone body frames mainly use low-temperature polymers with limited thermal and structural performance. In this project, high-temperature high-performance polymers and continuous carbon fiber composites will be used for 3D printing drone body frames. It […]

Les entreprises fondées par AlleyCorp ont levé collectivement plus d’un milliard de dollars en capital-risque et emploient des milliers de personnes à travers l’Amérique du nord. Beaucoup de ces entreprises visent à utiliser l’apprentissage […]

Breast cancer is the most common cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) in 109 countries including Canada. Approximately 70% of the breast cancer surgeries are breast-conserving lumpectomy procedures. Histopathology analysis typically require 2-4 days, resulting in the need for a second surgery if a margin is positive. Perimeter Medical is developing advanced Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) […]
