Xenopus intends to create its own software by starting with a simple warehouse management software that is used to track bar coded product and to modify the program to incorporate production and quality data gathering into the system and responds to changes in medical device regulations.

The integration of intelligent document collaboration tools designed to encourage increased client involvement in the creation and review of legal documents.

BCRI has developed a process to modify purified LignoForce™ lignin properties for higher-value uses such as blending with certain plastics to manipulate their mechanical properties and impart biodegradability.

Voiceflow is building the central ‘voice user interface’ design platform for application developers. This project will create enterprise toolkit features to enable full service architecture design-to-code of advanced voice apps.

The objective of this Micro-net is to develop innovative advanced materials, disruptive technologies and devices for military applications and provide a fundamental insight of the underlying processes governing materials and device performance. The proposed research includes materials processing and patterning, device fabrication and advanced characterization of fundamental materials properties.

The ever-increasing need to improve the effectiveness of Canadian military missions through increased protection and survivability of personnel and platforms urgently requires the development of advanced materials with enhanced properties to combat the various forms of kinetic and non-kinetic threats, without sacrificing mobility and maneuverability. This proposed research focuses on addressing this key challenge.

The Micro-net brings together a multidisciplinary team of research experts to implement tunable compact photonic platform on emerging group IV SiGeSn semiconductors to address current challenges facing the development of silicon-integrated light sources, detectors, and sensors operating in the part of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum covering from the terahertz to the mid-infrared.
The proposed innovative materials and devices provide direct access to scalable photonic systems in the THz-to-MIR range. This capability will facilitate photonic emitters and detectors and create a viable path for ultra-broadband compact photonic technologies

A novel technology for detection avoidance of military personal and platforms is proposed by taking inspiration from octopus camouflaging strategy, where they tune their spectral signature to that of their surroundings to become effectively invisible. Their sensing, processing and reconfiguring capability will be mimicked using engineered electromagnetic (EM) metasurfaces. These reconfigurable metasurfaces will be equipped with smart sensing networks for environment monitoring and autonomous decision making powers based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), i.e. a biomimetic metasurface.

The objective of the proposed research is to develop these biomimetic metasurfaces in various spectral bands from RF to optics, based on various exotic physical effects, with multi-spectral operation capabilities.

The Project aims to increase dismounted soldier protection from both kinetic and non-kinetic threats in complex urban environments, while simultaneously decreasing overall soldier discomfort.

The project aims to strengthen research on advanced materials for detection avoidance and physical protection by focusing on electronic and photonic materials for application in flexible and stretchable devices for electromagnetic shielding and camouflage featuring self-healing and biodegradability.
