RPS Composites Inc. designs and manufactures a wide range of corrosion-resistant (fibre reinforced plastic/polymer) FRP and Dual Laminate equipment from piping systems to ducts, stacks, hoods, covers, cells, and other miscellaneous custom equipment. Their engineering team has used different design methods provided in the codes and standards. The current process of designing and generating the […]

L’épilepsie peut entraîner des crises violentes et touche entre 0,5 et 1% de la population dont ?30% souffrent d’épilepsie réfractaire aux médicaments et bénéficierait de la neurostimulation. Des recherches démontrent la capacité de prévoir les crises 24 heure à l’avance, donnant la possibilité au patient de prendre des mesures d’atténuation. Ce projet vise à développer […]

SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, is found in the stool of the infected individuals and eventually ended up at the wastewater treatment plants. Since COVID-19 pandemic started, researchers all around the world have been investigating SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater to understand fate of SARS-CoV-2 and predict a potential outbreak by monitoring wastewater for the detection and […]

In the era of big data, software based on artificial intelligence has greatly improved the quality of people’s lives. Although data is not a scarce resource, the data we collected are usually incomplete due to many reasons, i.e. they contain some missing values. Simply deleting these missing data will not only cause great waste, but […]

Additive manufacturing is rapidly employing the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems to facilitate its reliability and relieve human supervision. However, with 5G network and cloud computing intertwining with the physical machines placed locally, the service is vulnerable to prospective cyberattacks. Various researchers have already stressed the urgent need to ensure the users’ and businesses’ […]

Personal protective equipment (PPE) for essential workers in flammable environment requires two essential traits: fire resistance (FR) and fitting comfort. The fitting comfort is especially an issue for women firefighters, whose protective clothing are not appropriately catered. Elastic fibers in sportswear, such as Lycra, offer superb fitting and comfort, but their FR version is commercially […]

The laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF) process is a novel additive manufacturing (AM) technique used to produce metal objects layer-by-layer using a laser source. Aim of this project is to design an optimized heat exchanger with enhanced heat transfer performance with the advantages offered by additive manufacturing (AM) technology such as complex design and lightweight. The […]

Pelvic floor disorders (PFD) result in urinary and fecal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (POP), loss of support for the pelvic organs. While not commonly known, POP affects upwards of 50% of females. The common non-surgical treatment is to use intravaginal inserts, known as pessaries, to hold up the pelvic organs. The correct pessary is […]

Aujourd’hui, le processus actuel de contrôle de la qualité dans les industries alimentaires et de l’électronique imprimée ne répond pas parfaitement aux besoins des industriels. Le plastique, à titre d’exemple, est un contaminant qui est très nuisible et complexe à détecter pour les industriels du secteur alimentaire avec les technologies actuelles. Au cours des deux […]

Wind-tunnel testing allows to verify predicted pressure distributions in various configurations on a specific model. For this verification to be successful, both the model deformation and the air flow needs to be predicted accurately. Modern wings tend to be thinner, thus more flexible and deform more under the loads applied in the wind-tunnel. Current methodologies […]

Le projet proposé consiste à concevoir et à optimiser les performances d’un capteur de température basé sur la fluorescence d’une fibre optique dopée par un élément thermosensible. La dépendance du temps de vie de fluorescence de l’élément dopant la fibre optique sera utilisée pour mesurer la température de façon précise et reproductible. Ce composant photonique […]

Moderco Inc. produit des cloisons amovibles en vitrage double qui doivent respecter des exigences d’isolation acoustique, principalement vis-à-vis des bruits de conversation. De façon générale, la double cloison (deux panneaux séparés par une cavité d’air) est un principe de construction très répandu, qui garantit une perte par transmission acoustique élevée en même temps qu’une structure […]
