Le projet vise à développer une méthode de caractérisation rapide pour déterminer les propriétés rhéologiques anticipées des bitumes à partir de leurs caractéristiques chimiques. Actuellement, les essais rhéologiques utilisés dans l’industrie nécessitent des délais importants avant d’obtenir les résultats, ce qui ralentit la production. En revanche, les essais de caractérisation chimique offrent des résultats plus […]

Le projet vise à optimiser la boutique en ligne d’Alcyon sel de mer afin d’améliorer l’expérience client et d’augmenter la conversion des visiteurs en acheteurs. Le stagiaire analysera le site web et proposera des améliorations en matière de navigation, de contenu et de référencement naturel (SEO) pour accroître la visibilité et l’accessibilité des produits. Il/elle […]

X-ray CT scanners and Magnetic Resonance Imaging have been described as the most important advances in medical technology in the last century. Further improvements in CT scanners will be possible with CZT photon counting detectors which are being implemented in next generation CT scanners. Improvements enabled by photon counting CZT detectors include faster imaging, meaning […]

The space economy is developing quickly and Canada wants to play a role in the new sector of “in-orbit services”, where satellites are repaired and refueled while space debris is removed from space completely. All these activities require the servicing spacecraft to get a good look at the client spacecraft before docking. In this research, […]

This project aims to improve the uptake and provide further efficacy evidence of Bionic Power Incorporated’s Agilik lower-limb orthosis in Canada. To fulfill this goal, baseline predictors of long-term health-related quality of life associated with the Agilik’s treatment of knee flexion-extension impairment will be identified through an observational prospective cohort study, looking at real-world impacts […]

Biomimicking involves drawing inspiration from nature to design materials and structures that replicate their unique properties, including optical, chemical, physical, and thermal characteristics. With this study, the objective is to determine the characteristics of fabrics that can give the same tactile properties, i.e., when touching with the hand, as natural materials, for example rose petals. […]

Alentic Microscience Inc has developed a highly portable device that performs complete blood counts and other in vitro diagnostic tests based on the lensless microscopic imaging of blood and reagents. The system uses proprietary sampling techniques and unique analysis software based on advanced machine learning techniques. The software has been designed as a multistep process […]

Imagine a cell phone camera with only 32×32 (1024 or 1K) pixels. The image quality would be very poor. This is the current regime where 3D ultrasound imaging is at. Going to Mega-Pixel sensors would create a quantum jump in 2D and 3D image quality. However, doing so is challenging since in ultrasound MHz range […]

Foundries play a crucial role in recycling metals However, they face challenges, especially with sand, which is essential for making molds. During casting, sand gets contaminated from binder materials, making it impossible to reuse and causing environmental issues when disposed of. Sand reclamation, like thermal sand reclamation (TSR), helps by cleaning the sand through burning […]

With recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) designed for coding, Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering (AI4SE) remains pivotal in enhancing both developer productivity and software quality. However, to excel at more specialized SE tasks like code transformation, companies still need to optimize LLMs to their specific context to avoid LLMs’ tendency to “hallucinate”, i.e., […]

The overarching goal of this project is to develop optimized instrumentation and methods for the detection of potent drugs such as fentanyl. SCATR Inc. is a company that develops hardware and software innovative solutions for drug checking with the goal to reduce the harm caused by the use of unknown substances. The collaboration between SCATR […]

Human blood contains a large collection of proteins that can provide insight for early detection and projection of disease. Global protein profiling is commonly enabled by mass spectrometry (or MS; a technology that identifies protein components by mass), but the identification of proteins in blood is challenging because of the sheer complexity of blood samples.
