Temperature is a critical parameter in welding and related processes such as metal additive manufacturing. The real-time temperature measurement systems based on infrared thermal cameras have a potential to significantly improve the existing process control systems and, consequently, the quality of the welds and additive manufactured products. Conventional thermal cameras work in midwave (MWIR) and […]

Additive manufacturing (AM, or 3-D printing) with metals is a rapidly growing field catalyzing a revolution in modern manufacturing. The most common approach involves the use of metal powders as a feedstock material. The proposed research program will use metalorganic gaseous precursors such as Ni(CO)4 and Fe(CO)5 which facilitate low temperature (~200 C) deposition, forming […]

PCP Canada, the industrial partner of this project, is planning to produce new categories of DC cast aluminum plates with high quality and competitive prices for the manufacture of large molds used in automotive and plastic industries. The present work is undertaken to optimize the heat treatment practice of the plates of certain DC cast […]

SMC battery enclosure with electromagnetic (EM) shielding properties for electrical vehicles. The main objectives of this project are to identify a low-cost EM shielding material to integrate in the enclosure and to develop a manufacturing process which can ultimately reach a production rate of less than 10 minutes per part. Through the additional support of […]

Thales vient de lancer son accélérateur AI@Centech. Situé à Montréal, l’accélérateur a pour objectif d’accompagner, sous forme de cohortes de 6 mois, des start-ups qui fournissent des solutions basées sur l’intelligence artificielle (AI). Cette grappe Mitacs, qui réunit des stagiaires de l’ÉTS et HEC, vient appuyer Thales dans la structuration de son accélérateur d’un point […]

Safe community pharmacy practice involves highly complex decision making in high-risk, high reliability situations (Zhao & Olivera, 2006). Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory safety initiatives for Canadian community pharmacies have been rapidly evolving throughout the last decade and now feature requirements for expanding pharmacy offerings, implementing on-line error reporting, assessing quality improvement analytics, and […]

Mech solution Ltd is a fast-growing start-up led by engineers and developers with mostly technical background. As we grow, we are in need of business experts to help us get our innovative product to the market in the most efficient and effective manner. This project is critical to Mech Solutions Ltd.’s growth plans for “Cloud […]

In this project, the effects of storage time on the heating value of wood pellets are investigated. During relatively long-term storage and transportation, pellets may lose part of its heating value, which could translate to financial losses. However, for a limited and shorter storage time, studies have shown that pellets could have a slight gain […]

This Ph.D. study will focus on simulating and validating soil flow behavior models using numerical terramechanics for three distinct applications of soil flow behaviors from operations of construction equipment: hauling loose material (wheel loader), excavation of soil (backhoe loader/excavator) and pushing large quantities of soil (bulldozer). Numerical terramechanics models will be compared with DEM models […]

Digital Integration Centre Of Excellence Technology Access Centre (DICE) at Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SP) and Levis Media Inc. (Levis) will collaborate on the research and development of an inventory management system that targets small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in numerous industries underserved by current systems. In the space of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software whereby an […]

This project fits into the strategic goal to accelerate transition to digital technology in working with universities to research and analyse industry trends. The second phase will help the Ciena Documentation team test ideas and to implement them in the Component Content Management System (CCMS) and Translation Management System (TMS) in order to improve their […]

Actuellement les prothèses d’épaules dites inversées sont préconisées dans le cas de coiffe des rotateurs endommagée. Ces prothèses assurent la stabilité de l’articulation mais limitent la mobilité articulaire, notamment en élévation du bras. Pour pallier cette déficience, Statera Medical propose un design de prothèse innovant avec un degré de liberté additionnel. En collaboration avec le […]
