Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Acoustic Multi-Sensor IoT System Development
1030213
Researching, developing, and testing a system and supporting hardware to interact with multiple acoustic sensors arranged on a target site to provide automated results and attribution of acoustic emissions using temporal and audio data as well as weather and location data and provide real-time alarms and feedback to site owners or relevant stakeholders. This will help develop a working prototype of a new system which replaces the old process reliant on synchronous data collection and manual processing of data.

Advanced Manufacturing Process Automation and Integration
1030232
The project aims to boost efficiency with automated CNC machining, reducing labor time significantly. By integrating AI-enhanced 3D vision, it will ensure consistent quality inspections, eliminating costly subjective assessments. Versatile laser technology will be introduced for part marking, gate cutting, insert cleaning, and mold customization, reducing outsourcing costs and reject rates. This strategy will lower operational costs, enhance product consistency, and increase market competitiveness.

Defect Detection in battery dry cells to Improve Safety and Prevent Fire Incidents
1030248
EECOMOBILITY has created a rapid battery testing system – EECOPower - that is extremely sensitive and can detect defective cells and modules quickly at the end of production lines. The system relies on our advanced information extraction technologies and AI. Our product is the fastest in the market capable of meeting the requirements of Giga factories and OEMS, producing or integrating over 6 Millions cells per day. Currently, EECOPower can only be used at the end of the production lines of battery cells and modules. Under this project, EECOPower's functionality and hardware will be revised for its application early in the production cycle and before cells are filled with electrolyte, at a production stage referred to as dry cell.

User-Facing Condition Management Feature for Appraisals
1030266
Conditions, which are a required part of a lender's mortgage approval commitment letter, must be fulfilled in order for the lender to proceed with a loan, and include things like proof of income, proof of down payment, name of lawyer, and acceptable appraisal report.
This Project is to add a new feature module for lenders so they can embed Value Connect solution capabilities within their condition management portals which contain a list of all the conditions remaining and fulfilled, much like a task list.
