THE INFLUENCE OF PREMATURE CALCIFICATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THETRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE

The proposed project is aimed to provide information on the mechanism of premature calcification in the Transcatheter Aortic Valves through a complete investigation of the physicochemical factors influencing the process (chemical composition, pH, temperature, fluid dynamics, and the presence of foreign inorganic and organic substances). The outcome of the proposed research project would allow formulation […]

Laser stripping of Polyamide coating over Platinum thin wire conductors

Laser wire stripping is an emerging technology, and this project aims to develop a laser process to achieve adequate stripping of the polyamide insulation from the platinum wire. To optimize the process, the laser parameters (speed, power, and focus) must be fine-tuned. Post stripping, the project focus will shift to identifying the characteristics of the […]

Régulation de la vitesse d’un véhicule lourd par la pédale d’accélération

E-SMART développe un contrôleur de vitesse dynamique qui impose une limite de vitesse maximale sécuritaire pour des véhicules. Le système s’interface au bus de communication du véhicule et modifie les signaux de la pédale d’accélération, afin d’en réduire l’accélération et par extension, la vitesse. Cependant, l’implémentation actuelle est loin d’être efficace, donc ce projet vise […]

Thin film based TCi

The thin film TCi project is focused on continuing the improvement of C-Therm’s commercial TCi Thermal Analyzer using thin film materials. This type of material is thinner than those currently used in the commercial product. Thin films have the advantage of being flexible, and having a quicker time response to heat differences due to their […]

High power laser system for biomaterials processing

The unique ability of surgical procedures with infrared lasers to prevent scarring can be applied to all kinds of tissues, not just the skin or outer layers, but also organs, other soft tissues, and bone reshaping for perfectly matching implants without tissue damage. However, the cutting speed due to the relatively low laser power is […]

Développement d’une librairie de structures de contrôle de procédés

L’intégration de dispositifs et systèmes micro-électro-mécaniques nécessitent un contrôle très précis des étapes de microfabrication et des matériaux microélectroniques qui sont utilisés dans ce processus. Chaque étape de procédé doit être validé avec des structures tests aussi appelées PCM (“Process Control Monitoring”). Ces PCMs permettent, entre autres choses, de valider les épaisseurs et propriétés mécaniques […]
