Lululemon develops and markets athletic apparel including women’s bras. Some women experience difficulty finding the appropriate bra to achieve adequate support without discomfort [1]. Lululemon is experienced in tissue biomechanics models of the breast including measurement of tissue movement, forces and accelerations in an effort to better understand the complex issues around bra performance. Nevertheless, […]

Their solutions are widely utilized in hand therapy and musculoskeletal (MSK) rehabilitation, providing patients and clinicians with interactive tools that promote movement compliance and facilitate real-time data capture. With a mission to […]

When engineers verify software products they need at the same time some guidance as to verification objectives and an idea of when it is reasonable to stop the verification activity. One such guidance comes under the form of criteria which are predominantly functional (typically, one exercises the software in ways it is expected to be […]

Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre comment les tensions géopolitiques et les politiques commerciales, comme les droits de douane imposés par certains pays, influencent le commerce mondial de l’aluminium. L’accent sera mis sur les répercussions de ces mesures sur le secteur de l’aluminium primaire canadien, un secteur stratégique pour l’économie, l’environnement et la sécurité des […]

Infectious diseases remain one of the largest killers of the human population and disproportionately so in developing countries. Assays for the rapid and comprehensive identification of causative strains of the infectious disease agents in tuberculosis and leptospirosis is currently lacking. These infections represent over 20 million cases annually. Existing diagnostic protocols involve lengthy and resource-intensive […]

The project aims to research the feasibility of designing and building a drone from parts supplied in Canada. The first objective is to build a prototype of a made-in-Canada drone that showcases current technology and incorporates the highest proportion possible of parts from Canada. The second objective is to design a manufacturing process that can […]

Sherbrooke OEM Ltd. développe et commercialise des équipements avant-gardistes de tri optique automatisés qui permettent une valorisation efficiente des matières recyclables et résiduelles. Cependant le tri des polymères noirs (de plus en plus présents dans les emballages, l’électronique et l’automobile) reste encore difficilement réalisable avec des équipements instrumentés dans le proche infrarouge. Le projet consiste […]

Fondée en 2000 et basée à Québec, TeraXion (maintenant indie/Teraxion) est reconnu comme l’un des principaux fabricants mondiaux de technologies photoniques de pointe, notamment dans les domaines des réseaux de Bragg à fibre optique (FBG), des lasers à largeur de raie étroite et de l’optique intégrée, son équipe dédiée est composée de plus de 60 […]

This project focuses on extending Neuraura’s LoOoP neurostimulation platform to address the unmet needs of individuals with endometriosis—a chronic, debilitating condition affecting 1 in 10 individuals with a uterus. While TENS therapy is already used for symptom relief, Neuraura is exploring its potential to influence tissue behavior and possibly slow or reverse lesion growth. To […]

Many people with physical disabilities depend on forearm crutches to help them walk. Although forearm crutches are helpful, many people experience overuse injuries as a result of using the forearm crutch. Injuries to the wrists, elbows and shoulders are commonly experienced with long-term use of the forearm crutch. The research project will examine differences between […]

Better light collection by photodetectors would automatically improve signal to noise ratio and photodetector performance. For example, for the positron emission tomography application, it would result in a better image quality for a lower dose. The main cause of the light loss is too much reflection of light that is trying to travel from the […]
