When a person passes away, family members have to navigate a host of administrative tasks to settle their estate. Closing out accounts, cancelling subscriptions, filing paperwork, and figuring out how to handle an ever-increasing online presence, bereaved individuals can become overwhelmed by this work. This research project aims to understand how people currently navigate the […]

Palliative care is an approach that aims to reduce suffering and improve the quality of life for people who are living with life-limiting illness. Almost all of the nearly 300,000 people who die in Canada each year could benefit from palliative care. There is a solid economic and social case for investing in palliative care […]

Deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are transforming industry by way of automation, connectivity and availability of information technologies. However, AI remains incredibly challenging and costly to implement, often requiring massive data centers and cloud computing to operate. This research seeks to develop optimization methods to create faster, smaller and more energy-efficient AI algorithms […]

The metallurgical industry is currently facing challenges to reduce the green gas emission of fossil fuels. Biochar, driven from woody biomass, are the renewable promising material as a green reducing agent. However, the low bulk density, mechanical strength and the high reactivity of biochar are the main barriers limiting their efficient utilization and transportation at […]

L’objectif général de la recherche est d’élaborer un modèle d’analyse technico-économique portant sur la valorisation des coproduits issus de la transformation du crabe et du homard en produits à valeur ajoutée. La recherche est mandatée par Merinov et touche quatre transformateurs de crabe et de homard de la Gaspésie et leurs clients potentiels, issus du […]

L’objectif du projet est de créer une antenne imprimée (microstrip) sur un substrat à déterminer. Cette antenne devra fonctionner sur une bande de fréquences précise (24.000 GHz à 24.500 GHz) et devra aussi éviter autant que possible de réféchir les signaux vers le générateur afin d’être efficace. Afin de bien répondre aux besoins de l’entreprise, […]

Humans possess the ability to see objects as having the same color even when viewed under different illuminations. Cameras inherently lack this capability. A process called auto white balance (AWB) has to be applied by the camera to mimic this behavior of the human visual system. AWB is one of the first steps in a […]

The sponsor company, Tigercat specializes in the design and manufacturing of premium quality forestry equipment and specialized off-road industrial equipment. This four months internship project will provide the company a set of load cases validated on a new design, optimized detail 3D and 2D models, selected material lists, and FEA simulation results of a tracked […]

With the global pandemic effect, the market is experiencing a significant transformation, with robotics to adopt the roles of delivery vehicles and personal assistants. Atlantic Business Express is looking at bring the service robots to Canada, starting in Nova Scotia through working with Dalhousie University. The project is to develop intelligent path planner for mobile […]

L’alimentation de precision, soit le melange en proportions variables de deux aliments, l’un riche et l’autre pauvre en nutriments, permettrait de mieux alimenter les truies selon leur caracteristiques individuelles en comparaison avec l’alimentation conventionnelle n’impliquant qu’un seul aliment. L’objectif de ce projet est de valider !’impact du “bump feeding” et l’alimentation de precision en fonction […]

Functionally graded materials (FGM) offer a better alternative than the conventional coating techniques since it eliminates the sudden change in composition between different materials. This project proposes to print FGM biomedical implants using a combination of titanium (Ti) powder and hydroxyapatite (HA) powder. Titanium will offer the required mechanical strength for load-bearing implants, while HA […]

Le Living Lab Lanaudière (LLL) a vu le jour après que la Corporation de développement de la MRC de Joliette (CDÉJ) ait lancé en 2017 une vaste réflexion afin de mettre sur pied un projet novateur pour mieux outiller les entreprises et les milieux lanaudois à faire face aux enjeux d’accès aux percées technologiques, d’automatisation, […]
