Rheolution Inc. develops and commercializes a new scientific instrument dedicated to the mechanical characterization of materials for research and development and quality control of industrial polymers. The instrument, called RheoSpectrisTM, uses an innovative technology patented by the University of Montreal Hospital. Compared to the competing old generation instruments, this unique technology allows the measurement of […]

The wide-spread adoption of digital pathology has opened new horizons for histopathology. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are able to operate on digitized slides to assist pathologists with different tasks. Whereas AI involving classification and segmentation methods have obvious benefits for image analysis, image search represents a fundamental shift in computational pathology. Image-based search for digitized […]

More than one in five seniors aged 65 and over will fall at least once a year, many of them repeatedly. Fortunately, most of these falls don’t result in major injuries but often the fall victims are unable to get back up on their own and require assistance from someone. For those that live alone […]

The first objective is to use ML to reduce the modeling error in predicting the end-of-growth of a batch, reducing the emission of CO2 and water consumption of synthesized products. The second objective is to formulate the algorithms to facilitate its integration into our analytics solution. The third objective is to validate shared learning when […]

Le projet consistera à concevoir et analyser un sous-réseau d’antenne qui devra s’intégrer à une grande antenne réseau, formant le coeur d’un radar à synthèse d’ouverture (RSO). Ce RSO sera utilisé sur une satellite à basse orbite et sa mission sera d’obtenir des images de la couverture, et plus spécifiquement de la masse de neige […]

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health crisis on an unprecedented scale, with over 1 million confirmed cases, spread over 200 countries. With the world at a virtual standstill, and no existing treatments, there is an enormous need for novel therapeutics and vaccines to combat COVID-19. Our group is working on a DNA vaccine strategy […]

The residual bacterial and viral contamination that remains on surfaces after cleaning in healthcare and palliative care settings is particularly lethal during a pandemic. Due to inevitable overcrowding and long shift hours, slipups occur. A technique to monitor surface cleanliness, and particularly to detect the presence of SARS-CoV2, is required to ascertain contamination and, if […]

Many major municipalities rely on ultraviolet (UV) disinfection of their drinking water and wastewater to protect their citizens and the environment. The novel coronavirus, Covid19, has been detected in water, and may be transmitted by improperly treated wastewater and drinking water. It is important that the sensitivity of Covid19 to UV be measured, in order […]

Fresh produce remains the leading cause of foodborne illness and highlighted for carrying pesticide residues. Moreover, fruit and vegetables have been highlighted as one of the leading sources of food waste, in addition to a major user of water. Currently, post-harvest washing is used as a step to remove field acquired contamination. However, both microbes […]

The global population is rising, generating a need to produce more food to feed the world. Along with climate change, the food crops across the world are facing growing challenges from pests, pathogens and viruses that attack and destroy crops. In Canada, we export more than $7 billion worth of wheat every year. The Terramera-led […]

En début de lactation et pour subvenir à ses besoins énergétiques (production du colostrum et du lait pour son veau), la vache laitière a toujours et naturellement eu recours au glycérol en mobilisant ses propres réserves de gras (stocké sous forme de triglycéride). Cependant, cette mobilisation excessive et répétée (après chaque naissance) répondant à l’amélioration […]

Individual stamped sheet metal components need to be joined to create sheet metal assemblies used in a car. Powerful laser light delivered by a robot is used to quickly weld these assemblies by making dozens of individual welds within a few minutes. For economical production, it is essential to minimize the total production cycle time. […]
