An electrically conductive, water-impermeable coating for utility poles and other metallic structures that can be sprayed onto the outer and inner surface of a metallic structure to electrically ground the structure and prevent the metal from corrosion, thus extending the lifetime of the structure.

An innovative formula with simplified process and versatile consumption features.

The goal of this project is to develop and implement a robotic rough cut mower that has components designed specifically for “rough cuts” with thick vegetation (used in solar field grass cutting operations)

PemPem aims to develop an optimized marketplace that matches micro-sellers and micro-buyers in fragmented commodity supply chains. Transaction data will be used to create real-time traceability in palm oil supply chains and fight deforestation.

The Versatile Interface Architecture(VIA) is a unified and cost effective method to produce predictive and forward-looking business intelligence on high voltage components health at utility-scale and community-scale electrical infrastructure using data from the existing intelligent devices.

This proposed work forms part of the Quantum Photonic Integrated Circuits for Quantum Interconnects Small Teams, Round 2 project which aims to develop a chip-based platform where entangled photons can be generated and distributed
between nodes in a quantum network. Using nanowire-based quantum dots fully integrated on a chip manufactured in the silicon nitride material platform. In this collboration, specific circuits will be designed as required for the
implementation of quantum key distribution protocols for the Small Teams project, including BB84, MDI-QKD and E91/BBM92. These circuits will be fabricated on chip and their overall performance will be evaluated and compared
to other approaches (e.g. weak coherent pulses).

The project focuses on improving the calibration process utilized today as part of the platform that NERv offers to its customers.

This project will assist developing an innovative aviation painting facility which will use indigenous iconography that appeals to our customers, uses environmentally-friendly materials aligning with our sustainability commitments; and, ensures materials and designs are in-line with transport Canada Remotely Piloted Arial Systems (RPAS) standards.

Assistive technology (AT) is any item, piece of equipment, software program, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of persons with disabilities. Millions of individuals use assistive technologies to perform everyday tasks. The Project involves developing user interfaces that will enable the collaborative design of personalized ATs such as glucose monitors. The team envisions a future in which end-users, health professionals and product designers can work together to create ATs that meet the personal and functional needs of specific end-users. The research effort will include 1) studies that shed light on how collaboration can enable the design of personalized glucose monitors, 2) development of a high-fidelity functional software system that facilitates collaborative design of glucose monitors, and 3) analysis of the evaluation results that detail the benefits and limitations of the developed prototype system and
sheds light on future research directions.

In order to stay ahead of the next generation of technology, the firm will be hiring an intern with a Master's degree in Mechatronics to undertake the design of complex electro-mechanical servo systems. This position is brand new to the firm and will serve to strengthen its role as a leader in the automation of pipe coil welding.
