D-Wave is at the forefront of building quantum annealers, which are quantum computing devices that can potentially solve an important class of problems more efficiently than classical computers. One important goal of D-Wave is to claim that they have attained quantum supremacy, which means they have built a machine that can do something that no […]

Pavemetrics est le chef de file dans les systèmes de vision numérique pour l’inspection des infrastructures de transport. Leur technologie d’inspection automatisée est conçue pour être utilisée de jour comme de nuit grâce à l’aide de capteurs qui produisent des images 2D et des profils 3D de haute résolution de surfaces de routes, de pistes […]

One of the objectives of this project is to analyze the impact of policies and regulations on the provision of cash through cash access points – bank branches and ATMs. Currently, there is a proposed acquisition of HSBC by RBC and the potential Laurentian Bank of Canada sale offer two case-studies of consolidation between FIs […]

L’ajout d’houblon à la bière est crucial pour sa conservation, son amertume et ses arômes. Il existe plus d’une centaine de variétés d’houblon qui apportent chacun des caractéristiques organoleptiques uniques à la bière. Dans le processus de fermentation traditionnel, le houblon est ajouté lors de l’ébullition du moût et pendant la fermentation pour approfondir les […]

The proposed project seeks to conduct an energy audit of the St. Mary’s Cement plant, study the energy inputs and outputs, and create integration plans that can result in the reduction of total energy usage, a better Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) and cost savings. A key component of this project is the engagement and training […]

Le gouvernement du Québec et les entreprises s’orientent vers un aménagement forestier durable de nos écosystèmes forestiers afin d’en conserver la biodiversité et une croissance optimale. Tel aménagement repose sur les connaissances relatives à l’évolution des paysages forestiers à court et à long terme. L’étude des paysages naturels et de leur variabilité naturelle est cependant […]

The current treatment of cervical dystonia (Torticollis) uses Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an approved treatment by Health Canada and FDA. Botox® injections help to correct abnormal movements of the neck as well as any severe discomfort and pain related to the movement disorder. At present clinical limitations still exist for Movement Disorder Neurologists as it is […]

Les architectures et techniques d’apprentissage qui ont mené à la création des Large Language Models (LLM) sont la cause de leur succès et de leurs défauts. En effet, ils sont surprenamment performants, apprenants et faciles à utiliser, mais leurs erreurs sont très difficiles à expliquer et contrôler. Étant donné que le développement actuel et futur […]

Current treatment options for tremor, the most common movement disorder, are quite poor. Discontinuation of compliance to oral medications is due to significant side effects and no noticeable benefit in tremor severity. Botulinim toxin type A is a recognized tremor therapy however, adverse events and the inability of Movement Disorder Neurologists to visually locate these […]

Mechanical wear and chemical corrosion are the two main dominant factors that limit the service life of industrial machinery. Wear and tear of tools and equipment are significantly intensifying due to the increasing demand for superior efficiency, productivity, and throughput of industrial apparatuses. Since the surface of the materials is more exposed to abrasive wear […]

Addressing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation is critical for Canada to meet its climate goals. Batteryelectric vehicles are expected to make a substantial contribution to this goal. Manufacturing and end-of-life disposal of the batteries results in significant greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding the state of health of the batteries can keep the batteries in the vehicle […]

This project will determine what safe by-products are being created by the air pollution, including Carbon Dioxide, that RainIons is transforming/reducing with the unique materials and coating, what the mechanism of action is (e.g., how it’s occurring), and help RainIons optimize their technology for production. The project has three phases: • Phase 1: Determine what […]
