Le projet vise à comprendre le processus de mise en production des poutrelles, d’identifier les variables qui influencent la décision de mise en production et de prédire cette décision chez le groupe Canam pour contribuer à la mise en place d’un système intelligent pour l’automatisation de la mise en production des poutrelles. Il s’agit également […]

Epileptic patients have a long term risk of recurrent seizures and the mainstay of treatment for controlling seizures is antiepileptic drugs. Management of epileptic emergencies usually requires hospitalization and the administration of intravenous (i.v.) anticonvulsant drugs. Lorazepam i.v. is the most effective treatment of status epilepticus, and therefore is routinely used in hospital emergency departments. […]

This MITACS supported collaborative project with Lassonde Inc., was to develop a tool for shelf-life prediction of packaged snack foods by obtaining data under accelerated testing conditions. The gathering of data involves holding the pre-packaged snack bars (provided by the company) at different elevated temperatures for selected times. The product quality during storage is periodically […]

Intelligent health-conscious battery management system (BMS) and advanced battery thermal management systems (BTMS) are essential to improve performance of energy utilization, safety, and cycle-life. Improvement in the energetic performance on all these levels encourages integration and development within the full thermal installation. This project will look at Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML)-based intelligent state estimators […]

In Canada, the transportation sector accounts for 25% of all emissions. Hydrogen fueled vehicles is one option that has a great potential to reduce Canadian and global CO2 fuel emissions. This research project investigates production parameters that influence hydrogen storage capacity in storage materials in order to optimize the production process and increase the hydrogen […]

Everly is on a mission to transform our everyday self-care essentials so that they not only care for us but for the planet too. Roughly 50 million tons of waste is produced a year and most of it is shipped to / dumped in poor countries in Asia and Africa. Beauty and self-care product packaging […]

Many methods for providing respiratory support to patients are currently in use, however more commonly available techniques such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) are not appropriate for ventilation of patients with airborne infectious diseases due to the risk of aerosolization endangering other patients and hospital staff. Clarivent has develop a sealed device to provide […]

The project will support technology innovation for an assistive device to treat plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopthy more quickly and easily. Affecting more than 15% of the general population, these indications have significant affect on health and wellbeing including occupational, physical and mental health. Recovery is lengthy, re-occurance is common and treatment is not standarized. […]

AWL-Électricité travaille actuellement au développement d’un chargeur sans fil dans le domaine de la mobilité en utilisant une technologie de couplage capacitif résonant. Dans le but de manufacturer est d’amener un premier produit sur le marché, AWL-E cherche à développer un BMS avec un système de communication intégré, sois un système de gestion d’une batterie […]

The research project has the objective to evaluate how tool wear, adhesive type and adhesive application impact the manufacturability and bonding performance of finger-jointed (FJ) Douglas-fir lamellas. These will be assessed by measuring the mechanical properties, characterizing the surface quality and determining the initial friction. The experimental design will be conducted in both industrial (FJ […]

Currently RAP focuses the majority of its sales in Atlantic Canada and the New England States regions. However, lobster fishing is done in so many other parts of the world and RAP is looking to make its way to the European market. Before RAP attempts to enter the European market, a market study must be […]

Crane structures are used to lift heavy equipment, goods or machinery. While different crane types exist, an overhead crane is primarily used in industrial facilities. The overhead crane structure comprises the following essential components: crane bridge, rails, crane runway girders, crane supporting columns, bracing system and crane foundations. Different types of loads need to be […]
