Modern deep neural networks have demonstrated remarkable performance across various visual recognition tasks, including image classification and semantic segmentation. The effectiveness of these networks largely relies on having abundant labeled examples for each desired category. Acquiring such datasets, however, poses particular challenges in the context of semantic segmentation, where a label is required for each […]

Residential buildings contribute approximately 17% to Canada’s overall primary energy consumption, with the majority allocated to space heating, particularly space heating. The proposed research will focus on optimizing energy efficiency through inter-room air transfer, utilizing a central blower system. SmartCocoon’s product includes fans at each room diffuser (AKA vent/register) such that heat can be strategically […]

Spring Loaded Technology is a Halifax, Nova Scotia based start-up company focused on developing innovative knee bracing technology. Their Levitation™ knee brace has been developed to assist knee extension in people with leg weakness, but it has not yet been tested. The proposed research project will test the Levitation™ knee brace in healthy people, providing […]

La filière de production des MCS comporte plusieurs sous-produits qui devront être enfouis, traités ou transformés. Le présent projet s’attarde sur le sulfate de sodium issu de la neutralisation de lixiviats d’acidesulfurique présents dans plusieurs procédés hydrométallurgiques. Bien qu’une partie des centaines de milliers de tonnes annuelle puisse être revalorisé (détergents en poudre en Amérique […]

This study focuses on understanding the emerging role of “prosumers” in Canada – individuals or entities who not only use electricity but also produce it, often through renewable sources like solar panels. We aim to study how this trend is evolving, especially in Canada, and develop profiles of these prosumers based on where they live […]

La montée en puissance de l’intelligence artificielle générative permet de construire de nouveaux produits à la fine pointe de la technologie. Dans le cadre de ce stage, un assistant virtuel capable de lire et interpréter de la documentation technique sera développé. Cette nouvelle approche permettra d’interroger une banque de document en langage naturel (autrement dit, […]

Managing a consistent plant environment is critical to maximizing yield and quality of plant produced in a controlled environment agricultural (CEA) systems. The environmental conditions directly impact plant production which in turn impact plant product quality and marketability. The quality of the produced plant (leafy greens, or other plants) are influenced by both the environment […]

Les études démontrent que 15-20 % des patients sont insatisfaits en post prothèse totale du genou. Plusieurs de ces patients présentent de la douleur antérieure. Dans le cas du syndrome fémoro-patellaire, différents déficits biomécaniques pouvant expliquer ces symptômes ont été identifiés. Cependant, aucune étude ne s’est intéressée à la biomécanique du genou chez une population […]

With real-time acquisition of 2D imaging planes, 2D-cine MRI is often used to visualize rapidly moving tumors and organs-at-risk during radiotherapy, and automatic image registration of 2D-cine MRIs at different time points can assist in tracking tissue displacements. However, when sudden large motions occur, automatic registration algorithms can fail to track the radiation target, potentially […]

Canada currently employs patterned non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in the treatment of conditions such as depression and anxiety. The goal of this study will aim to determine whether there is a more effective way to deliver brain stimulation compared to traditional methods. We will compare a new controlled TMS compared to the traditional TMS hardware. […]

L’entreprise Hyperflo développe la gamme de ventilateurs axiaux miniers. Depuis plusieurs décennies, cette technologie a fait ses preuves en matière d’efficacité énergétique et d’aérodynamisme. Toutefois, elle doit respecter les nouvelles exigences normatives de performance et de santé et sécurité. Le moyeu/pales étant le système le plus imposant des ventilateurs qui fonctionne dans des conditions opératoires […]

This research focuses on making big tree-planting project better. In this project, special cameras are going to be used on planting machines to check if young trees are standing up straight when planted. This helps workers know right away if a tree isn’t planted correctly. The cameras use smart technology to quickly analyze how the […]
