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.

Analogue to Digital Algorithms - Failure Prediction/Prevention for Rotating Electric Machinery (REM)
934733
CSI is developing a failure prediction and prevention platform for 3-phase electric machines (motors/generators). The non-intrusive condition monitoring part of this technology can identify existing and developing faults on electric machines and their prime movers. This technology uses the electric machine itself as a sophisticated transducer. As a result, it does not require any sensor installations on the machine or associated load. It is attractive for inaccessible applications and is applicable to most types of pumps, compressors, generators, wind turbines and similar loads.

Planing Automation
934875
The project is to build a new planer mill including a planer/moulder with an automatic cutter head positioning system with a PLC to control the cutterheads and will allow us to create “recipes” for our products and will computer control variables such as head placement and infeed speed. The project also includes a trimmer and tally system that is integrated with the planer/moulder and controlled by the main PLC.
