Ensuring fabric longevity involves effective stain removal in both wet and dry cleaning. While wet cleaning is eco-friendly, it can damage fabric and consume resources. Dry cleaning, though superior for certain stains, poses environmental and health risks. This study seeks to enhance Vilimont Inc.’s oil and tar-based stain removers by 40-60%, with a focus on […]

Biomass combustion, which is a growing business, is used to generate heat and power. It is a very attractive system because it provides energy at cheaper price compared to oil and gas fuels and also emits fewer pollutants into the atmosphere. As the name implies, the combustion system is fired using renewable fuels such as […]

Le projet de recherche proposé consiste à développer une stratégie pour collecter des données géospatiales à partir de services en ligne tels que Mapillary et Kartaview. L’objectif est d’obtenir des images contenant des ponts et d’annoter ces images en identifiant les ponts et les panneaux indiquant la hauteur des ponts. Ensuite, nous affinerons les modèles […]

The increasing applications of high-voltage direct current technology in long-distance bulk power transmission have resulted in multi-infeed systems, where multiple inverters are located within mutual electrical vicinity. Many of these systems use the line-commutated converter, which may suffer the commutation failure (CF) when a thyristor valve does not turn off at the desired instant. The […]

The proposed research project aims to work alongside Canada’s largest wood preservation company, Stella-Jones, to help solve an ongoing industrial challenge. Since phasing out the popular wood preservative chromated copper arsenate (CCA) for residential use in the early 2000’s, the wood preservation industry has begun to formulate new wood preservatives as an alternative. Since these […]

This research collaboration, aligned with the 2050 sustainability goals, is dedicated to advancing membrane dehumidification technology through the application of computational fluid dynamics. Our primary objective is to scale up graphene oxide membranes, ensuring their safety, efficiency, and viability for real-world HVAC applications. These improvements directly benefit Evercloak, enhancing their technology’s performance, efficiency, and compatibility […]

Dans le cadre de ce projet, nous élaborerons des études de cas réelles sur des entreprises régionales. Ces études de cas permettront de proposer des solutions et des alternatives afin de minimiser les coûts reliés aux pratiques de l’externalisation de la gestion de la rémunération, tout en proposant des solutions qui permettent de minimiser, notamment, […]

The objective of this project is to improve the quality of the hard-to-reach areas of the hydraulic turbine blades using abrasive waterjet polishing method. By this way, the energy lost caused by parietal friction between the turbine blades and the flow will be decreased and consequently the efficiency of the turbine will be improved. Previously, […]

Dans le domaine du contrôle non destructif, l’intelligence artificielle peut être déployée pour inspecter des images ultrasonores (ce sont des échographies de matériaux métalliques, composites ou autres), pour y détecter des défauts de fabrication ou d’usure (fissures, corrosion, etc.). Traditionnellement, les modèles d’IA sont entraînés pour un cas d’usage spécifique sur les données relatives au […]

The proposed research project consists of an educational and research component. The intern will deliver a workshop/seminar series to the industrial partner, transferring the basics of polymer science to Lintec’s staff to used in material selection processes. Second, the intern will research biodegradable polymers for suitability in flexible packaging films as one possible route to […]

Compusult Limited has developed an Uncrewed Ground Vehicle (UGV) system with powerful sensing and terrain navigation capabilities. This project proposes to being development of a system to enhance these capabilities through the addition of machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities. Activities include data collection, organization and development of experimental system to perform baseline experiments.

This research project aims to improve the comfort of automotive seating by evaluating a new vibration massage system developed by our partner company and developing a pressure sensing software that can monitor how people respond to the vibration massage system. The project will integrate the vibration system with the software and introduce additional features such […]
