The firm will develop benchtop flow-through reactors (~ 10 L) as medium-fidelity prototypes (TRL 5) of biotically-driven carbon capture technologies.

Such complexity along with the actively growing ability to do online shopping is leading to an exponential growth of impulsive shopping and bigger credit card debt, especially among younger generations.
This project gives Canadians the guide and the alternative option to credit cards they need, to learn how to improve their mindset and skillsets of saving ahead for their purchases successfully.

The objective of Phase II of the Greenhouse Pepper Vision System is to improve the design and address issues encountered in Phase I. In addition, data tracking for all aspects of the system will be conducted in Phase II to provide a benchmark in performance and reliability of the system.

This International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project will prepare the firm to enter future international co-innovation work with digital dentistry players based in Europe, US and South Korea.

Trualta is developing a proprietary analytics framework to help our clients track outcomes for caregivers. The new product suite will include updated reporting capabilities, visual dashboards, as well as insights to help our clients support the families of their patients and members.

Erthos Inc. has developed a proof of concept (POC) to develop and implement a biobased, compostable solution that leverages biobased additives found both in nature and developed internally, to optimize, tune and strengthen their plant-powered compostable biocomposite resin formulations, and to achieve the following technological advancements:

1) Viable injection moulding of the compostable resins;
2) Viable film cast extrusion of the compostable biocomposite resins;
3) Viable biocomposite resins for production in commercial-scale extruders;
4) Development of internal formulae to understand material end of life behaviour

The proposed work plan consists of five (5) main activities as described below.

Falls by older adults can result in lasting and critical consequences,
including, injury, long-term disability, and even death. Screening is the first
step in identifying fall risk and preventing future falls by predicting
individuals at higher risk. At present, a history of falls and reported
abnormalities of gait are found to be the best predictors of future falls.
Novel technologies, such as sensors, can be an effective, efficient and
economical way to assess fall risk. However, there is a lack of evidence in
the use of analyzing gait through sensors to predict falls both in-home and
healthcare facilities.
UBC will collaborate with NRC to design, develop and trial a smart sensor
based solution, and provide clinical, caregiver and patient insights,
acceptability and usability testing and validation. This close clinical?technical user-centric collaborative approach will innovatively tackle a
growing need to reduce the incidence and impact of falls by older adults.
