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 […]

Drug use in older persons is a major public health concern. Even though therapeutic drugs are beneficial for patients’ health in terms of survival or quality of life, patients aged >65 years have a greater risk of developing drug-related complications. Such complications may be fatal because of the high frequency of both multiple pathologies and […]

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is moving towards innovative, remote monitoring instrumentation and artificial intelligence solutions that can predict and detect physiological plant characteristics that will improve crop yield. Creating a reliable plant health monitoring system is critical to oversee plant health, track growth rates/yield, and identify diseases, coupled with prevention strategies that safeguard crop integrity […]

This project aims to make it easier for people to access valuable information stored in complex company databases—without needing to know technical coding languages like SQL. Today, many employees and customers can’t easily search these databases because doing so requires specialized skills, which creates delays and extra training costs. Our research will explore ways to […]

SD will be undertaking a large development project for new sunless tanning products. This will involve the formulation, sample preparation, brand approval, assay method development, and stability testing of 15 products. An expertise in chemistry, formulation, and cosmetics would allow for SD to develop these products for sale in the North American market in the […]

Norsat International Inc. specializes in delivering advanced satellite communication solutions for remote and challenging environments. One of the core challenges the organization faces is efficiently developing and presenting customized product solutions to diverse global clients while ensuring technical accuracy and timely delivery. The innovation challenge lies in optimizing the pre-sales process by improving the integration […]

Poor drug accumulation at tumor sites negatively affects the efficacy of many anti-cancer therapeutics. Development of non-invasive strategies that can effectively monitor drug biodistribution is important, especially given the increasing number and complexity of nanotherapeutic agents in clinical development. The use of positron emission tomography in conjunction with a radiolabeled drug delivery system has the […]
