L’objectif global du projet est de développer un système d’aide à la décision médicale pour aider les médecins à déterminer si un patient souffrant d’arthrose du genou est un candidat ou non pour une chirurgie de remplacement articulaire. Ce système d’aide à la décision sera basé sur des données objectives enregistrées lors d’une tâche de […]

Dans les milieux industriels, bien que la plupart des opérations de transfert ou de transport de marchandises se fasse maintenant automatiquement ou avec l’aide d’équipement de levage, la manutention manuelle demeure une tâche encore fréquente et propice aux accidents de travail en raison de sa complexité et sa diversité. L’Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé […]

Over the past 10 years, the commercial aircraft market has seen almost a tripling in the number of players while business aircraft manufacturers around the world have filled or narrowed segment gaps with clean sheet or major derivative products. In this new reality, product differentiation is becoming extremely challenging and gaining a distinct advantage in […]

The proposal aims at improving the design process of a wingbox by focusing on the disciplines using the finite element model. The Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal will provide improvements on the aerodynamic loads, create topology optimzation set-up and tools for sizing the structure and develop an image-based methodology for monitoring and measuring the deformation of […]

Ce projet de recherche a été mis sur pied pour répondre à une problématique émergente de préoccupation mondiale portant spécifiquement sur l’élimination des résidus médicamenteux issus des eaux usées d’hôpitaux. Ces contaminants sont à l’origine de nombreuses perturbations de la faune aquatique et constituent de plus un risque pour la santé humaine. Le traitement à […]

Passive optical networks (PON) are a key technology to provide broadband Internet services to personal and business users through high-speed fibre cables. This technology has been deployed worldwide for local and access networks. In order to accommodate the drastically increased data volume, the Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) has recently defined a 40-Gb/s capacity PON system. […]

Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell production facility must condition rolls of catalyst coated membrane [CCM] material to specific humidity and temperature conditions before using CCM in the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cell manufacturing process. Rolls of CCM material are conditioned in a clean room for a fixed time upon delivery to the facility. The fixed time conditioning […]

La société eSight a développé la lunette électronique eSight comme aide technique destinée à améliorer la vision des personnes malvoyantes. Actuellement environ 400 personnes utilisent les lunettes eSight et en sont satisfaites mais encore aucune étude ne l’a démontré. Ainsi dans ce projet on cherche à savoir si les lunettes eSight améliorent la vision et […]

This project will explore opportunities for modeling and making better use of harvest data that the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources has and continues to collect. The Fur Institute of Canada and the Trappers Association of Nova Scotia support improving the knowledge of harvested species in Nova Scotia. We propose that an in-depth analysis […]

The objective of this project is to design and build a new prototype device attachable to a smartphone camera employing a novel method of illumination to enable acquiring high quality images of the skin without surface contact. By replacing the precise optical and lighting components currently used in the company’s existing product MoleScope, this design […]

With the ongoing threat of anthropogenic climate warming, understanding how stakeholders in Ontario can accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) to maximize their environmental and economic benefits is of great importance. The large-scale adoption of EVs requires further research to understand consumer demand and social valuations. Ontario has over 5,000 EV drivers on the […]

As the multi-processing power of computers continues to grow, traditional methods of memory management become more and more problematic. The purpose of this project is to quantitatively analyze existing memory management tactics to determine whether they can be improved using techniques that take advantage of modern hardware, or instead, whether brand new methods for managing […]
