Research and development of a variable directivity point source loudspeaker for commercial installation and sound reinforcement including optimization software. In this project PK will undertake research of a loudspeaker system which will be capable of variable three-dimensional directivity within a single loudspeaker.

We aim to gain market share in the global rubber linings market by building strong brand awareness in key target markets: Austria, Serbia, and Poland.

Betterfrost has developed and tested a new de-icing method, called pulse electro-thermal de-icing (PETD), which significantly reduces the time, energy, and cost needed for de-icing - often by a factor of 20.

This project includes research into customer demographics, marketing and sales activity, customer service, product fulfillment and post purchase customer support. The team will build new internal processes and test new software for automation.

SensorUp is developing the world's first United Nation’s ITU-T and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard-based spatio-temporal streaming platform for the Internet of Things. The firm is looking to use space and time as the universal index to interconnect the Internet of Things devices and applications. The key goal is to develop a scalable and interoperable IoT data stream-processing platform that can connect (100+ Million and beyond) things, and each of them carries various number of sensors. Specifically SensorUp's platform will focus on managing, processing and analyzing continuous spatio-temporal data streams from moving things that collect sensor data in real-time. It also needs to handle unlimited number of users in real-time with fine grained security.

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, this project also aims to provide Canada with the capacity to conduct tests leading to the certification of personal protective equipment in the medical field.

This project would rearchitect backend sync and provisioning systems to support decoupled DNS, email and other services, such that they could be offered on domain names that are registered with other providers.

The project requires the design and production of mechanical, electrical and software systems to introduce 5 axis milling products, which include an advanced control system and software. The developed 5 axis machines would become a new product line of machines purpose-built for 5-axis cutting operations.

By way of background, CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) machines involve taking digitized data, a computer and CAM program is used to control, automate, and monitor the movements of a machine. Our CNC router machines are 3 axis and cut with a physical tool a wide range of materials including wood, plastics, metals, foam, and other materials. 5 axis adds the ability to tilt and rotate the router tool to a greater extent.

Development tip dressing and tip changing equipment that is considered smart technology allowing the equipment to make decisions based on current operating conditions and adjust operations accordingly. This will allow industry 4.0 compliance and offer the customer benefits towards lean manufacturing while ensure quality of the product.

This project is designed to develop intellectual property, and Canadian company eco-system for advanced manufacturers to improve their operation. This project includes supporting CNC machines and PLC controllers that advanced manufacturers can ‘switch on’, and expands the depth of analysis that was previously cost-prohibitive for small-medium manufacturers to implement on their own.
