This project aims to develop new materials to enable low-cost, flexible and visibly transparent detection of near-infrared (NIR) light. Current detectors are high performance but are costly to fabricate and limited in form factor. Novel materials such as organic semiconductors (OSCs) or 2D materials have shown promise for NIR detection. In particular the modular synthesis of OSCs allows a huge variety of possible structures, enabling precise control of the absorption characteristics and compatibility with low-temperature solution processing techniques. However, NIR detectors based on OSCs tend to have poor environmental stability and there are challenges in designing materials which are sensitive at the second NIR window. Combining semiconducting polymers with 2D materials could lead to flexible, inexpensive devices. Brilliant Matters will collaborate with NRC and the 2D Materials and Electrochemical Devices lab at the University of Waterloo in order to investigate the potential for these hybrid materials and deliver additively manufactured flexible, transparent NIR photodetectors. This will enable a transformative leap in applications, moving away from the cost and design limitations of expensive, rigid and opaque sensors.

The purpose of this CanExport Innovation agreement is to support Canadian organizations to carry out activities related to pursuing opportunities that would lead to establishing new collaborative Research and Development (R&D) partnerships between the Recipient and foreign organizations in order to support R&D on the Recipient’s technology and advance its commercialization.

The Project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the Firm

Across the world, there are number of regulations and requirements in the mining industry which dictate how products are designed, developed, certified and manufactured in order to be allowed , installed and operate in the mines.

In this project we will conduct a comprehensive investigations and research to identify the relevant regulations and compliance standards required in our mining industry. Further, we will perform complete analyses to identify the requirements of modifying our current technologies, NeuraCom system, for compliance with these regulations and standards. A comprehensive plan and strategy report will be developed as road map for our technology Regulatory and Compliance Certification Program.

Delivery of multi-spectral cloud prediction machine learning models to be deployed and operated onboard satellites in orbit, reducing satellite operator downlink costs by up to 70%

Leveraging content on ACTO's Omnichannel platform, LAICA's suite of AI solutions will deliver a series of technologies: 1. Enterprise Search Solution; 2. Recommendation System; and 3. Targeted Insights, to provide seamless learning and sales enablement experiences.

This project aims to provide a solution to defrost the developed ice on windshields through electrical power signals. The proposal is designed to defrost the ice in a very short period of time with respect to typical HVAC solutions. The targeted windshields are coated with a conductive solar friendly transparent sublayers that reduces the effect of solar UV exposure and allows the integration of the proposed solution.

The Project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the Firm.

Our recent graduate will be developing a bank of video based training modules that will act as the foundation for the future expansion of Adapt AgTech and Forage Hyperfoods. The expansion of our business will be seen across multiple geographies and ultimately in multiple languages. In order to keep up with the demand of our scaling business, we must have the tools in place to quickly and effectively onboard new staff. In addition to initial training, our staff will be required to operate according to streamlined Standard Operating Procedures to ensure global food safety compliance through GlobalG.A.P.. This project will create a very valuable tool that can be used for years to come.

ITEA – 20023 SmartDelta – Automated Quality Assurance and Optimization in Incremental Industrial Software Systems Development:

As part of the international consortium project SmartDelta, this project will focus on:

The Project of ROSCA is to operate under the framework of ITEA 4 – SmartDelta Project. The Project of ROSCA is to develop a pair of server and client application to establish an OCPP2.0 compliant communication between eCAMION’s JuleTM Electric Vehicle Fast Chargers (EVFC) and the JuleNetTM cloud-based charger management network. As the standard and customer experience requirements keep evolving, this project could be paradigm to demonstrate modern tools and methods to manage the “delta” (iterative changes) of an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) software application.
