Hypertension is a cardiovascular condition that leads to 8.5 million deaths per year around the world and is linked to a higher risk of stroke and kidney failure. Hypertension is defined by a higher-than-normal force the blood pushes on blood vessel walls in between each heart pump. Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years […]

Concerning global warming and depletion of fossil fuel reserves, the integration of distributed energy generators into grids is rapidly increasing in the last decades. However, the distributed generators degrade power quality and may damage loads when islanding occurs in a part of the grid. To overcome these issues, all distributed generators must be equipped with […]

Carbon dioxide generated by burning fossil fuels is one of the major greenhouse gases responsible for the climate change. There is a world-wide effort to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In addition to renewable resources such as solar and wind power, hydrogen is emerging as a green energy source. The energy […]

Le but du projet est de développer une méthode de gestion thermique des batteries d’un robot à propulsion électrique pour l’inspection de stations électriques. Ce véhicule devrait diminuer l’intervention humaine dans les sites éloignés, en faisant de l’inspection contrôlée à distance. Un défi majeur de ce type de véhicule est la capacité de stocker de […]

The material properties of thermoplastic polymer composite parts manufactured by the fused filament fabrication additive manufacturing process are highly dependent on the thermal history. A good understanding of the heat transfer in fused filament fabrication is crucial for an accurate stress prediction and subsequently for repetitive, high-quality printing. A numerical simulation to model the thermal […]

Metal nanoparticles are increasingly used in cosmetics, food packaging, textiles, toothpaste, and other ubiquitous products. Yet, their impact on our environment, food, and health is largely unknown because measuring nanoparticles in environmental and biological systems is very difficult. Similarly, measuring the uptake of metal-containing drugs by cells to develop smart therapeutics targeting tumors is also […]

To design and produce better materials for construction and manufacturing, as well as discover new and improved drugs, scientists need to be able to predict properties of molecules or crystalline solids – ideally, before they are made in the lab. At the atomic level, these properties are governed by quantum mechanics, which makes the prediction […]

Saguaro Technologies est une entreprise qui oeuvre dans le domaine de la recherche pré-clinique. Elle vise à commercialiser une panoplie de produits de recherche innovants qui permettront à ses utilisateurs de mieux prédire le comportement des cellules humaines avant même de tester leurs produits en clinique. Un de ces produits, nommé ChromaLive, est un marqueur […]

Ce projet vise à développer une méthode d’estimation du temps de production de pièces similaires par apprentissage automatique. Cette méthode fournira une estimation de chaque champ du temps de production d’une pièce d’avion en ayant comme données d’entrée l’historique de fabrication de pièces similaires. L’estimation du temps de production permettra de raccourcir le délai tant […]

There is a growing need to develop new crop protection products that are more effective against fungal disease and mitigate pathogen resistance. The fungicide product development process is time consuming and expensive and there is a great opportunity to reduce costs and time by using machine learning. In this project, an existing deep learning algorithm […]

Le projet vise à améliorer un système d’aide à la conduite pour les camions de transport basé sur des caméras embarquées et des techniques d’intelligence artificielle. L’objectif principal est de mettre à jour l’information sur la vitesse maximale autorisée, cette information étant ensuite utilisée pour limiter automatiquement la vitesse des camions. Le défi principal est […]

In shipbuilding industry, selecting an appropriate grade of steel and the associated characterization techniques, tailored well for low temperature application, have always been a challenge. This subject can be even more critical when we are talking about the materials selection and the characterization techniques for polar class icebreakers. Therefore, Chantier Davie Canada Inc. (CDCI) in […]
