Proton exchange membrane fuel cell is in the early stage of commercialization and mass production lies in the cost reduction, increase performance and durability. All of these three challenges interrelated together and mainly related to the proper design for catalyst layer. The proposed research project aims at developing novel catalyst layers structure for dry/low relative […]

L’industrie du jeu vidéo est une source inépuisable de données et notamment de données de performances [8]. L’origine provient de la nécessité pour une expérience de jeu ultime, d’avoir des performances similaires quelle que soit la plateforme utilisée. Cependant, la fragmentation du marché des plateformes de jeu est multiple. Entre les différentes consoles et l’ensemble […]

This project is part of a longstanding continuous collaboration between Ultra and École de technologie supérieure that seeks to leverage the advancements of artificial intelligence (AI) to design a comprehensive framework for a robust ad-hoc underwater tactical wireless networks (AUTWNs). The network will be featured with privacy preserving mechanism to assist threat classification and self-organizing […]

Two types of color changes occur in potato, raw potato darkening and after cooking darkening. We are investigating the factors behind each type of darkening in three potato cultivars (Chieftain, Goldrush, and Yukon Gold). Effect of digging method (hand/mechanical) and storage time (after 3, 5, and 7 mo) were studied to find if the digging […]

Structure and composition of plant cell walls are crucial in development. Especially important are the surface walls of the organ, which are the stiffest and separate plant from the outside world. Surface of these walls is a film of waxes and fatty acids called the cuticle. An interesting phenomenon related to properties of the organ […]

De plus en plus de projets d’infrastructure sont réalisés entièrement par ordinateur. Bentley Systems développe plusieurs logiciels permettant la création, la revue et la visualisation de ces modèles 3D, sous forme de maillages (mesh) ou de modèles CAD/CAO. Bien que ces représentations offrent des possibilités inédites pour les experts, elles se révèlent difficiles à utiliser […]

L’identification représente un enjeu important en cybersécurité parce que, si une entité non-autorisée arrive à se faire passer pour une entité autorisée qui demande l’accès à un système, cela mène généralement à un vol de données. Au-delà de l’enjeu technique, il s’agit d’un enjeu de confiance : chaque entité doit avoir confiance en l’autre entité […]

Intact Corporation financière est le plus important fournisseur d’assurances multirisques au Canada en primes annuelles. Intact vise à offrir un service de réclamations accéléré à ses clients. Au moment d’ouvrir une réclamation, Intact demande d’ores et déjà à ses clients de fournir des images du véhicule qui permettent d’identifier préalablement la condition générale du véhicule. […]

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 […]
