The purpose of this project is to allow the company to have access to useful insurance representations, encoding the diversity of contexts found in larger markets. This is expected to boost the performance of predictions for tasks learned in small data and highly variable target setting.

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif principal d’optimiser l’évaluation des limites de vibration dans les bâtiments industriels supportant un tamis vibrant attaché à la structure avec des supports flexibles. Afin d’obtenir les résultats réalistes d’une analyse de structure supportant des tamis, les ingénieurs dans la pratique sont souvent confrontés à la modélisation complexe de […]

Pour planifier à moyen-terme un système hydroélectrique, il est nécessaire de déterminer une politique de gestion de ses réservoirs, c’est-à-dire la quantité d’eau à utiliser à chaque semaine pour répondre à une demande électrique ou d’autres contraintes. Cette politique de gestion couvre un horizon allant jusqu’à 2 ans et doivent tenir compte de la principale […]

L’agriculture urbaine commerciale est un domaine en plein effervescence, mais l’impact de celle-ci demeure encore aujourd’hui peu documenté. L’agriculture urbaine commerciale se définie par la production, la distribution et/ou la transformation alimentaire et/ou horticole en milieu urbain par des entreprises privées ou d’économie sociale, des organismes ou des individus. Le Laboratoire sur l’agriculture urbaine (AU/LAB), […]

La culture de la pomme de terre est généralement touchée par une maladie, la gale commune, qui est causée par un microorganisme. Les pommes de terre affectées doivent être exclues de la récolte, occasionnant des pertes de plusieurs milliers de dollars annuellement pour les producteurs de pommes de terre du Lac-Saint-Jean. L’ajout d’écorce de certains […]

With the goal of increasing the safety of civilian air flight, the detection of a decrease in pilot attention is becoming an important need in civilian aeronautics. Multiple models used for the detection of hypovigilant states have been developed over the years in experimental conditions, but barriers still exist limiting current use. First, some of […]

Small surgical instruments can be used multiple times if cleaned properly after each surgery. At the end of the cleaning process, a visual inspection of each instrument is performed in order to detect any traces of soil such as blood, tissue or any other biological materials. However, the human eye is not a flawless sensor […]

Power characteristics of CAE equipment are regularly requested by the customers (some customers are penalized by their service providers for poor power factor, etc.), but there are presently no quick and safe means of logging power at the main power distribution and motion control cabinets. The goal of the power logger, to be designed and […]

The proposed research project will improve CM Labs’ operator training simulators with animated human characters that interact and respond to the underlying physical simulation. This will relay important dynamical cues to the trainee about the safety and correctness of the procedures. Furthermore, the developed animation controllers will allow objects to be manipulated in a realistic […]

The buildings have an important environmental and social footprint, and to respond to that, the sustainable buildings are the new tendency of the building sector. To reduce the negative impacts associated to it, accreditations like LEED were developed, but it is mostly focused on the environmental aspects, and the social criteria are sadly neglected. This […]

Paints are complex colloidal suspensions that usually contain binders (resins), solvents, pigments and rheological modifiers. From production to applications, these raw materials should remain uniformly mixed and stable during pumping processes and storage, as well as after application with brushes, rollers, spray guns, etc. It is very important to know how the paint behaves under […]

This project will provide software tools to predict where a gene modifying system will make changes in the DNA of a living cell or animal. This is particularly important to investigate since this new system called CRISPR-Cas may one day be use for human gene therapy. We will test our system in animal models and […]
