La fabrication de pièces en acier de haute dureté et de hautes propriétés mécaniques pour différentes applications industrielles (pétrochimiques, moule d’injection de plastique, etc.) se fait par différents traitements thermiques. Ces pièces sont fabriquées par différents procédés et subissent une trempe. Les pièces peuvent être de différentes tailles et de formes diverses. Plus la taille […]

To achieve useful results in training deep neural network, one typically needs huge number of labelled images. In most practical cases, it is often time consuming, expensive and sometimes even near impossible to get the required numbers of labelled images. Data augmentation consists in a set of image processing techniques that can be applied to […]

The proposed project aims to look at different ways of combining touch and visual stimuli to enhance the awareness of a humanoid robot during interaction with humans. The goal is to have the robot capable of reacting to more complicated forms of touch. For example, allowing the robot to be physically repositioned through different combinations […]

The rate at which chlorides from deicer salts penetrate into concrete towards the reinforcing steel has a strong influence on the time-to-corrosion and service life of concrete structures. Thus, the permeability of the concrete cover layer protecting the reinforcement has to be minimized especially in severe exposure conditions. In addition to the type of concrete, […]

In large-scale construction projects such as naval refits or aircraft overhauls, project execution is subject to considerable uncertainty and a baseline schedule quickly becomes unachievable. For naval environments, high variability in work scope and duration occur at every stage. Furthermore, tools and equipment can fail or not be on-site when needed. Human resources are drawn […]

In this project, a new method is developed to optimize the performance of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for autonomous detection and on-the-job view-planning of infrastructure elements with the purpose of their accurate three-dimensional (3D) modeling. The existing view-planning approaches in the literature have mostly modeled non-complex or small-scale objects and have rarely been adapted […]

L’objectif principal du projet de recherche est de développer une nouvelle technique économique de fabrication de pièces en matériaux composites à haute performance, pour le domaine aeronautique et operationnel chez Marquez. L’integration des nouvelles techniques vise I’amelioration de la robustesse du procede, en minimisant les temps de cycle, les pieces rejets et en limitant la […]

Actuellement, l’avènement de l’Industrie 4.0 constitue un incontournable pour les entreprises. L’arrimage entre le monde cyberphysique et la pensée stratégique comportent son lot d’opportunités et de défis. De ce fait, ceux-ci ont un impact majeur sur la stratégie organisationnelle touchant l’ensemble des choix et mesures nécessaire à la discipline et à l’atteinte des objectifs. À […]

The project entails the creation of a program that will capture data from building sensors. It will analyze that data and predict future trends based on the data collected over a period of time. It will also graph data from sensors over a period of time. Currently both are done manually, take a significant amount […]

In the pipeline industry, the heat shrink sleeves (HSS) are the protective layer usually composed of two layers, namely, an adhesive layer and a crosslinked backing layer such as polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE). In order to maintain the desired properties of HSS, each of the layers must maintain their properties during processing, storage, and […]

Faire Child Makewear Limited (“Faire Child”) is a Nova Scotia start-up company created to design and market a line of fashionable and sustainable children’s outerwear. Faire Child developed an opertalization plan in collaboration with an outside consultant in December 2017. Despite having executed the plan as designed, the activities that were undertaken did not result […]
