MDA Montreal possesses a niche expertise on a wide variety of high-performance satellite telecommunication antennas. These antennas are exposed to extremely harsh environments. Some panels require a rigid mechanical assembly (i.e., nut and bolt fastening) but must preserve their thermal isolation for the proper operation of the antennas and to limit heat exchange towards the […]

The Canadian Athletic Therapy association (CATA) is the governing board for athletic therapist, health care professionals who rehabilitate athletes who are injured or in pain. Over-the-counter and prescription medications are often used by athletes as a pain management strategy, although they can have negative impacts on their health if misused. Since Athletic therapists follow athletes […]

The objectives of this research project are (a) to record neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory, and cognitive related data using wearable sensors during running and hopping as two basic activities of many sports; and (b) convert the data to medically meaningful indicators of athletic performance and risk of injury using signal processing and machine learning algorithms. The project […]

Many chemicals can be used for the mix design of concrete 3D printing. With a traditional experimental approach, the number of experiments to conduct is exponential. The objective of this study is to develop a cement-based material suitable for 3D concrete printing applications by utilizing optimization and predictive algorithms. The question to answer is if […]

Major efforts have been undertaken to reduce ozone depletion substances (ODS) used in refrigeration systems such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFC). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is recognized as safe, economic and environmentally sustainable. Commercial transcritical CO2 (R744) refrigeration systems have emerged as leading technologies in food retails, especially in cold climate countries. Major research and development challenge is […]

Le partenariat avec l’entreprise a comme objectif principal de répondre à la problématique du traitement des eaux de ruissellement dans un contexte minier. Le projet comporte une extrême variabilité des débits d’effluent à traiter. L’évaluation des solutions d’optimisation se fera en fonction de données réelles. Ce partenariat permettra notamment d’améliorer la captation des métaux par […]

Les larves de Carpocapses et de tordeuse oblique du pêcher sont des ravageurs de cultures (pommes, poires et fruits à noyau). BioTEPP produit un biopesticide efficace contre ces derniers dont l’agent actif est un virus produit in vivo sur les larves. Elles sont nourries à l’aide d’une diète artificielle mimant les caractéristiques de la pomme. […]

La performance des boulettes de minerai de fer dans les procédés industriels de réduction directe est normalement évaluée par des tests de laboratoire normalisés ou simplifiés. Toutefois, les performances réelles ne sont pas nécessairement liées aux résultats obtenus puisqu’ils ne simulent pas les conditions industrielles. Des tests de réduction plus avancés ont toutefois été développés […]

Analyzing needs is essential in any innovation project. A product/service should be designed and developed according to users’ needs so that it could be successful in the market and satisfy its users. However, it is not just the users who are interacting with a product. Designers, developers, project managers, business analysts and other stakeholders might […]

Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are computer programs powered by artificial intelligence that can automate the tutoring process. They have the potential to provide low cost and highly scalable one-on-one tutoring to students around the globe in real-time. Their continued improvement is exciting for the future of education, and should be encouraged. Recent years have seen […]

With quantum computers which are just starting to hit the market, today’s encryption methods will soon become obsolete. In order to ensure an unconditionally secure data storage/encryption, communications will have to rely on a technology making use of the laws of quantum mechanics. The present MITACS application proposes to build the prototype of an optical […]
