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, […]

La réduction de l’émission des gaz à effet de serre est l’un des enjeux du monde actuel. En effet comme le confirme l’explique le rapport du GIEC les prévisions sur les prochaines années sont désastreuses si on conserve le même mode de vie. Dans cette optique, le développement de matériaux innovants recyclables pour remplacer les […]

EastCann, a small group of legacy cannabis growers, uses nitrogen packages for postharvest storage of dried cannabis. There is concern that nitrogen packaging adversely affects volatile terpenes and cannibinoids, each of which are important to cannabis products. This project will examine postharvest changes in terpenes and cannabinoids over time in nitrogen packaging compared to ambient […]

This research proposes a way to make speed up video game testing by creating a tool that can understand how a player moves through the game without any special information. Usually, video games are tested manually to find bugs and problems, which takes a lot of time and effort. The proposed solution would use gameplay […]

The industrial drainage plow is a mechanized tool used for the installation of agricultural drainage and land reclamation. A large machine controls the depth and angle of the mole to determine the grade and depth of the tile for piping or cable to be installed. The plow is used for agricultural drainage, trenching, and installation […]

NTWIST’s purpose has at its core the contribution to one of the most significant challenges globally and nationally: the Net-Zero Emissions goal. In this project, we will implement in-house developed digital technologies to help move forward into the industrial sector’s energy transition process. Particularly, we will implement a software solution powered by AI that will […]

Azimut Médical est une entreprise montréalaise spécialisée dans le développement de vêtements gonflables de protection intelligents spécifiquement adaptés à la prévention des fractures de la hanche chez les personnes âgées.

This research project aims to develop AI based models for predicting visual saliency in gaming videos. Visual saliency refers to identifying the most relevant and important areas in an image or video. This technology has numerous applications, including improving video compression and optimizing the backlight dimming of displays, leading to better user experience and power […]

Wood poles, such as those used in electric transmission lines, are treated with preservatives to protect the poles’ structural integrity in the face of insect, fungal and environmental challenges. While extending the lifespan of the pole, these preservatives—the most important being chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and pentachlorophenol (PCP) mixtures—may leach into the surrounding environment/soil. Due […]

Carbon nanopearls are an exciting novel class of materials that present unique characteristics, and they turn out to be an excellent alternative to carbon nanotubes for different applications. Presently, they are experimented with success as material for cold cathodes for electron?beam based instrumentation applications and they can be used for the development of polymer nanocomposites […]

Protein Powered Farms will develop value-added carbohydrate fractions suitable for use in the mining and food industries. We are targeting mining and food sectors and will be using ingredients from the starchy fraction and the seed coats from our current fractionation process as feedstock for this project. We project being able to develop and test […]
