The project intent is to develop and analyze marketing strategies within the North American Construction Industry, create content and conduct marketing experimentation.

With more energy consumption of heat in the industrial sector than there is electricity consumed globally, the problem that SolarSteam is addressing is the high-cost and high-emissions associated with process heat. This project will support the design of a novel concentrating solar system for extreme climate heat-intensive industry markets looking to improve performance and be more carbon and cost-effective.

Development and launch of an individualized mental health solution that leverages deep reinforcement learning, contextual data, and individual preferences to optimize music therapy through a ubiquitous digital platform.

Track, monitor and assess business results and product usage to identify strategic optimizations, through various software tools and mathematical techniques

The project will involve assessments on state-of-the-art residential building technologies.

MesoMat is using this technology to develop a sensing platform for monitoring critical plastic/rubber components used in oil & gas and nuclear applications. In these applications, failures are catastrophic and therefore monitoring components to ensure correct installation and to help predict failure offers significant value for producers.

We currently outsource the manufacturing of our baby seats to a contract manufacturer that uses hydrocarbon-based blowing agents. The safe handling of these agents requires explosion-proof enclosures, and the implementation of new facilities that can handle hydrocarbons requires considerable capital outlay. As a first step towards building a more automated (higher-yielding), safer and more environmentally-friendly, in-house manufacturing facility here in Canada, we intend to explore the use of processes that require alternative (non-flammable) blowing agents to manufacture our integral skin polyurethane baby seats.

The candidate will satisfy the role of UX Researcher, providing the firm with a key resource to conduct user research, data analysis, and digital marketing, related to the development of new products for the firm’s customers. The firm will be strengthening their innovation capacity by filling the void of software design and building wireframe tools. In addition the candidate will be developing personas, journey maps and facilitating UX workshops

This is a market application and techno-economic study whereby Kaaj Energy Inc. will approach industries in the North America and the Port of Rotterdam to assess the benefits of Kaaj’s energy storage and efficiency solutions in CO2 emissions and energy cost reduction for the prospective clients. This project is strongly market pull. In this project we validate our technical and economical hypotheses in real-scale applications, work on improving efficiency of our solutions, and mitigate techno-economical risks associated with industrial-scale implementation of Kaaj’s solutions.

Media & Entertainment technologies, such as high-res cameras, production equipment, gateways, and other IoT devices, have seen a rapid migration to COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) accelerated networks. These technologies commonly have weaker IP security features and become difficult to manage and are exposed to a growing cyber threat. The Providius cyber suite will offer a practical way to increase our users awareness of their security posture on the network, and proactively revealing hidden vulnerabilities that can be prone to an attack.
