The use of disposable face masks as preventive measures significantly increased in the past years. Overloading landfills with disposable face mask wastes will raise certain environmental concerns. However, their degradation in landfill leachate is poorly studied. The objective of this study is to investigate the degradation process of the mask in landfill leachate and quantify […]

Pour TEC la problématique est que l’ordonnancement de ses opérations de production n’est pas optimisée pour assurer la productivité, l’efficacité, la rentabilité et ne répond pas non plus à la demande client, soit des délais fixes d’exécution et surtout des livraisons à temps. L’optimisation de l’ordonnancement (macro et micro) nécessite trop la connaissance technique détaillée […]

Malgré le peu de considération portée aux impacts du gel en conception de chaussées rigides, il est connu qu’elles sont sensibles aux variations de température. Les gradients de température entre le haut et le bas des dalles font en sorte qu’il peut y avoir apparition de fissures transversales et de fissures aux coins (Harvey, 2004). […]

Meat mass production is associated with many issues, from animal welfare, antibiotic use, climate change, destruction of ecological systems and wildlife extinction. Cultured meat industry is promising alternative to that, which offers the actual meat (not plant-based) without aforementioned issues. This project aims to contribute to development of cultured fat from a pig-derived stem cell. […]

ArchaeoSoft Inc. was created to develop the software STRATUM, a mobile platform for collecting archaeologiucla data while doing field work. The workflow archaeoilogists use is complex and requires significant ability to recognize important information and record it appropriately, to conduct archaeological procedures to the standards of regulators, to manage teams in their data collection process, […]

This project, sponsored by Safran Landing Systems Canada (SafranLS), involves the development of engineering techniques that enable rapid conceptual design of aircraft landing gear. The goal is to speed the early design of new landing gear to enable SafranLS to produce more, faster bids to manufacture landing gear for new aircraft at their two Canadian […]

Afin de débloquer les artères coronaires, des tuteurs métalliques sont implantés à l’aide de fil-guides. L’OptoWire, de la compagnie québécoise OpSens Inc, est un fil-guide muni d’un capteur de pression à fibre optique qui permet de déterminer l’ampleur du bloquage dans les artères, et si un tuteur est nécessaire. Afin d’améliorer le diagnostic, un concept […]

Instrumar Limited’s core technology platform is based on the measurement of electrical properties of materials that come in contact with its sensor. The sensor generates a tightly confined electromagnetic field that detects the properties as material enters this field. The sensor is sensitive to the amount, the shape, its density, temperature, conductivity, impurities, moisture content […]

This project consists of the first steps toward the development of a prototype of cultivated bovine meat and to produce at pilot scale. Starting from proprietary (Meatleo Inc.) bovine satellite cells, five (5) key objectives have been set: (1) To develop and validate a protocol, including a serum-free culture medium, to expand bovine satellite cells […]

Incorporating geosynthetic layers on top of the subgrade layer provides more stability and serviceability. That becomes a must when the subgrade layer is classified as a problematic soil. With the traditional method, two layers of geosynthetic are adopted: a geogrid for reinforcement and a geotextile for filtration. Placing these two materials in this manner is […]

PulseMedica is developing a medical device platform to treat vitreoretinal eye diseases that affect over 500 million people worldwide. Our device consists of a state-of-the-art 3D imaging and surgical platform that allows for comprehensive patient treatment including machine learning based disease detection, surgical planning, surgical treatment, and post-surgery evaluation. This device uses multiple laser-based imaging […]

The overall goal of the project is to contribute to the advancement of safe and sustainable environmental remediation through increasing knowledge of catabolic processes occurring during bioremediation and how engineered amendments may enhance these processes. To achieve the overall goal, research activities will investigate catabolic processes involved in the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon- (PHC) and […]
