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 […]

In the shadow of a worldwide pandemic, the importance and need for pharmaceutical research is abundantly clear. In Canada alone, 25 billion units of pharmaceuticals are dispensed every year, and of that 30% of the total product ends up as waste, about 1.1 million kilograms per year. How these pharmaceuticals are wasted has impacts both […]

This project will engage seniors, family members, and care staff, a total of 53 participants in a long-term care home to adopt a new technolopgydevice, Tochie for familyconnection. Participants will use the assistive audio speakers named Tochie over one month. Ongoing support and assistance will be provided to all participants during the one month to […]

The steel industry in Canada encounters some challenges to have sustainable and efficient steel production. One of these challenges is identifying bottlenecks accurately in steel fabrication workstations. The goal of the proposed research project is to improve work productivity for the partner company (Ocean Steel). The research work included conducting a literature review to evaluate […]

The ability to revert human cells back into a stem cell state, and then reprogram them into new cell fates has unlocked promise for future regenerative therapies. However, we still do not fully understand this reprogramming process and the interaction of proteins that make this happen. Mass spectrometry (or MS; a common technique to study […]

Le développement de modèles sur le comportement humain est extrêmement complexe en raison, entre autres, de la difficulté à exprimer certaines connaissances acquises par l’expérience. Cognitive Shadow est un outil capable de capturer ces connaissances pour élaborer des modèles à travers de l’observation de la prise de décision des experts sans avoir à exprimer leurs […]
