Grants and Contributions

Provide financial assistance to an individual Canadian victim of a specified serious violent crime in a foreign jurisdiction for emergency situations of undue hardship where no other source of financial assistance is available (specified categories of crimes are homicide, sexual assault, aggravated assault or assault with serious personal violence, or threat of serious violence, including against a child) or to an individual support person to accompany, attend with or support a Canadian victimized in a foreign jurisdiction. A total of 17 individuals received financial assistance in this regard.

Provide financial assistance to an individual victim or support person (as defined in the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and who are registered with Correctional Service Canada or the Parole Board of Canada), to attend Parole Board of Canada hearings in respect of the offender who harmed them. A total of 22 individuals received financial assistance in this regard.

InspecTech will develop in-house Electro-Magnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) hardware and integrate machine learning data analysis, for inspecting laser-welded inter-cell connectors in Li-ion battery packs.

EMAT is an emerging Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technology that enables Ultrasonic Testing (UT) without the need for couplant, such as water; hence, EMAT overcomes the main barrier to using UT on Li-ion battery packs. The machine learning algorithm will refine the EMAT’s resolution to bring it to par with traditional UT. The machine learning enabled EMAT technology will have wide applicability to InspecTech’s other product offerings.

The objective of this 6-month project is to enhance operations and drive innovation. By developing a Material
Requirements Planning (MRP) program, this project seeks to optimize production processes, minimize waste, and
maximize operational efficiency. During this period, the project lead will work collaboratively to design and tailor the MRP
system, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with the plant's unique requirements and leads to streamlined production
workflows.

The organization will offer a program for victims and survivors of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, abuse and addictions that offers immediate safe and supported housing, a four-month life-skills program and individualized case planning and client support. The goals of the program are to encourage growth, build resilience and empower participants to become independent and safe individuals.

Project will scale-up production of aminated self-healing adhesives and coatings for high impact industrial applications focusing on marine engineering and the oil & gas pipeline networks. These materials enable more sustainable industrial operations by enhancing the performance of assets and preventing their premature disposal due to failure.

The project will focus on the modification of the firm's software platform to develop cyber intelligence insights and risk scorecard modules to collect and share cyber security indicators in real-time and assist organizations in mitigating cyber breaches by incorporating the intelligence feeds into their existing tools.

As part of the international UKRI Quantum program consortium project “QD BioSense” (ID number 10075392) which is led by Beyond Blood Diagnostics in the United Kingdom. This project will focus on developing a new generation of simple to use, highly automated and scalable point of care cancer diagnostic system incorporating a microfluidic cytometer with biocompatible silicon quantum dots and high sensitivity camera.

Current quantum hardware architectures are monolithic, and limited by the number of qubits. One potential way to scale (increase the number of qubits) is by distributing the quantum algorithm (circuit) on multiple nodes via networking the nodes together by optical interconnects. softwareQ is building a distributed quantum compiler and scheduler for optical-based quantum computers comprising of multiple nodes linked by optical interconnects. softwareQ is modelling and benchmarking such a system with high fidelity, for scheduling and compiling distributed quantum circuits, thus paving the way towards scalable quantum computation.
