In recent years, machining with robots has become a trend in the manufacturing industry. The concept offers an economical solution for medium to low accuracy machining applications. However, due to the complexity of the robot kinematics, planning for these paths is challenging. Jabez Technologies has developed a semi-graphical approach that can program large robot-paths. This […]

In boreal and temperate regions, dams are mainly constructed to provide ecosystem services such as hydroelectricity production. River impoundment and the alteration of natural hydrological regimes are suggested to be major disturbances to aquatic ecosystems. To meet long-term environmental objectives for sustainable development, Hydro-Quebec recently adopted the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach. LCA is an […]

Sherbrooke OEM Ltd. développe et commercialise des équipements avant-gardistes de tri optique automatisés qui permettent une valorisation efficiente des matières recyclables et résiduelles. Cependant le tri des polymères noirs (de plus en plus présents dans les emballages, l’électronique et l’automobile) reste encore difficilement réalisable avec des équipements instrumentés dans le proche infrarouge. Le projet consiste […]

IXIASOFT, notre partenaire, utilise le standard DITA, basé sur XML, pour la rédaction de la documentation technique et l’organisation d’une information structurée orientée sujet. DITA encourage la rédaction du contenu sous forme des topics indépendants. Les techniques du web sémantique offre la possibilité de faire des liens entre les topics et les documents pour faciliter […]

Conscient des difficultés auxquelles font face de nombreux musiciens, ingénieurs du son et réalisateurs dans différents pays (et convaincu de l’importance de l’engagement du chercheur auprès des populations étudiées), je souhaite développer à travers mes recherches postdoctorales une structure qui fasse le pont entre recherche ethnomusicologique, création musicale et engagement social. Pour ce faire, il […]

Better light collection by photodetectors would automatically improve signal to noise ratio and photodetector performance. For example, for the positron emission tomography application, it would result in a better image quality for a lower dose. The main cause of the light loss is too much reflection of light that is trying to travel from the […]

Drug use in older persons is a major public health concern. Even though therapeutic drugs are beneficial for patients’ health in terms of survival or quality of life, patients aged >65 years have a greater risk of developing drug-related complications. Such complications may be fatal because of the high frequency of both multiple pathologies and […]

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have attracted considerable interest in the past three decades as a key technology in different applications. The intention of this project is to develop a FBG writing technique based on a scanning tunable Phase-Mask Interferometer using different UV lasers. The project includes optimizing the tunability of the interferometer, and analyzing the […]
