Avec ses 113 espaces d’une superficie combinée de 51 208 mètres carrés, le Palais des congrès de Montréal est l’un des centres de congrès et d’exposition les plus réputés en Amérique du Nord. Depuis 1983, le site a accueilli plus de 7 700 événements et 19 millions de visiteurs. Le projet de recherche proposé vise […]

Currently halogen-based flame retardant is widely used as cable covering material in various industries including oil and gas, transit and industrial utilities. Studies have concluded that these materials will produce toxic gases and acidic fumes, and also persistent against degradation in landfill. These negative consequences resulted in a progressive regulatory restriction on use of halogen-based […]

Product quality is a factor in insuring business success and user satisfaction. It is acheived through vigilance within quality systems. This project will explore how quality-by-design can be supported through serial recording of material signatures extracted from image analysis of baked goods produced by the industrial partner TWI Foods. An innovative digital image recording system […]

Jumine propose, à l’aide d’un jumeau numérique, de développer l’intelligence nécessaire à la détection d’anomalies dans le procédé de flottation, une partie importante du procédé de traitement du minerai. Jumine doit créer un jeu de données pour concevoir un modèle de détection, qui permettra de signaler en temps réel les anomalies présentes dans le procédé […]

Global society trend in sustainable technologies and environmentally friendly solutions demand the energy-intensive rare earth elements (REEs) separation methods to be more sustainable and possibly adhere to the green chemistry principles. This project tackles molecular recognition technology (MRT) as a method to selectively separate REEs. MRTs is still in its infancy and literature lacks data. […]

Canada is in the midst of an opioid epidemic. Although oral opioid agonist therapies (OAT) are effective for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD), a number of barriers pose a significant challenge to treatment initiation and retention. In 2018, Health Canada approved a new medication for OUD, a once-monthly injection, which may be able […]

Ce projet proposé par EXFO vise à améliorer la performance des Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) pour l’évaluation de la qualité d’un lien de fibre optique utilisé pour la télécommunication. L’objectif principal est d’améliorer l’identification des événements et leur classification en utilisant des réseaux neuronaux. Les méthodes actuelles peinent à identifier des événements successifs rapprochés, particulièrement […]

Since the end of whaling, the population of humpback whales feeding in the Canadian Pacific waters has been steadily increasing. As generalist feeders, these large cetaceans aggregate near the coast of British Columbia to feed on krill, Pacific herring, and other schooling fish. Yet, the consumption of prey by humpback whales in Canadian Pacific waters […]

Koïos Intelligence est à la source de l’agent conversationnel Olivo qui vise à offrir une expérience interactive, guidant l’utilisateur au travers des processus de prévente, de vente et d’après-vente pour tous les types d’assurances. Bien que l’outil soit dans un état avancé tant au niveau de la conversation écrite qu’orale, et ce aussi bien en […]

Nowadays, aircrafts use computer-regulated flight control systems that replace mechanical controls with electronic interfaces. These sensor interfaces convert physical movements or quantities (temperature or pressure for instance) to electronic signals between flight control computers (FCCs) and actuators and sensors. A large number of sensor interfaces are used in an aircraft to allow FCCs communicating with […]

Plants are always associated with a well-coordinated and beneficial community of microbes – the phytomicrobiome; this plus the associated plant forms the holobiont, the entity that provides crop yield. There is considerable communication between the phytomicrobiome and the plant, often through signal compounds. Bacillin 20 is a small protein (a peptide) produced by a Bacillus […]

Bridge abutments are commonly built with a construction technology called Mechanically Stabilized Earth that provides structural soundness. The core element is a composite material that alternates layers of backfill soil with layers of galvanized steel reinforcements. Although the structural design has been well developed since its introduction in the construction practices, the degradation of the […]
