Canada Book Fund - Support for Publishers

The project will fund the development of the firm’s intellectual property capacity.

Traferox will design, build, and validate a dynamic organ storage system that pumps an oxygenated solution in a donor organ throughout the transport and preservation duration, while maintaining an optimal internal temperature of approximately 10°C. The low perfusion flow will be achieved via passive components. The system will include means to track the internal temperature and its location.

This project aims to design a large-scale energy storage system (in MWh) using used electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Program - MARP - Events

This project will strengthen internal digital operations by hiring two roles. The project builds critical capacity to support innovation, reduce operational risk, and enable better decision-making.

Quaternion Aerospace will develop a low cost, highly capable, and fully Canadian nanosatellite platform to strengthen domestic space industry capabilities and decouple from reliance on foreign suppliers. This platform will provide all of the systems needed to build a satellite, allowing Canada’s science, business, and defense industries to get their technologies into orbit quicker and at a lower cost, without any dependence on foreign countries. Quaternion will offer an off-the-shelf solution - either as individual components, or as a complete satellite bus - ready to be tailored to Canada's most pressing needs, from Artic military surveillance to detection and monitoring of wildfires, to forestry and crop monitoring. This will allow more of the money spent in these critical areas to remain in Canada, foster a strong domestic aerospace HQP pool, and accelerate the pace of innovation to ensure that Canada remains, strong, sovereign, and competitive in an ever-changing world.

Apsis Science and Technology Inc. proposes to develop a novel Software Defined Radio, utilizing the JESD 204b digital interface standard, to adopt cutting edge radio transceiver chipsets from Analog Devices, Inc.

Active interrogation techniques using neutron beams are typically used for material identification and elemental analysis over a broad spectrum of space and terrestrial applications. Space applications include searching for volatiles, geological characterization, and (eventually) prospecting to enable mining and in-situ resource utilization; applications on Earth include explosives and narcotics detection in security arenas. BTI is proposing to develop a simple, miniature, ruggedized ion source as a component of future neutron generators and ion-beam probes. The miniaturized device will help accommodate payload mass and volume constraints, while the low complexity will reduce fabrication costs and improve reliability. In many surveying applications, there is a desire to use a broadly dispersed beam rather than one intense point source. An affordable, miniature ion source could be used to populate an interrogation zone with an array of many small generators, thereby offering a unique capability relative to the current state-of-the-art.
