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.

Quantification of golf club – hitting surface interface mechanics to optimize and improve synthetic golf surfaces.
923299
This project aims to develop a method to quantifiably describe the interaction between swung golf clubs and various synthetic hitting mat surfaces. Once a measurement method is established it will be used as a tool to develop new synthetic hitting surfaces that have a more realistic ‘feel’ – more closely mimicking real grass and the experience of playing golf on a real outdoor surface.

Developing Industry 4.0 Automotive Manufacturing Solutions
923407
We see Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) supporting the next generation of industrial technology, i.e. industry 4.0. Long-term, we also see AI being utilized by AR applications. In AI, we will develop our Acoustic Intelligence platform that uses audible & ultrasound waveform signals through Tensorflow app to identify correct or incorrect manufacturing processes in real time on the factory floor. In AR, we will develop a software solution that supports training & early production runs via instructions overlaid in the real world.
