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.

AI-driven interactive finite element simulation running on mobile platforms
925203
This project objective is to improve real-time surgical simulator solver performance to allow for equivalent realism and resolution on an affordable mobile device as it is currently possible on full size simulator. The project seeks to achieve this by re-defining a finite element problem to better exploit specialized computing hardware.

Magnetization strategies for 3D permanent magnets
944738
The development of complex shape magnets requires to be able to magnetize adequately those magnets in order to maximize their performance. To magnetize complex shape magnets, high-current pulse magnetizer are required. Over the years, Polytechnique Montreal has developed an expertise in the development of high current pulse generator (more than 1 kA in the microsecond and millisecond range), which will be used to developed a custom made magnetizer for complex shape magnets. The specifications of the magnetizer will depend on the magnet properties which will be characterized with tools available in Polytechnique Montreal. This will be used with finite element modeling to anticipate the response of complex-shape magnets and will be used to choose the parameters of the magnetizer. The development of a characterization tool to measure the magnetization of complex-shape magnets will be required. The results will be compared with those obtained by simulation.
