The proposed project will develop a new high-value service client; this involves establishing “synthesis and validation of hits” at 48Hour Discovery INC (48HD). The deliverable from achieving this objective is an extremely valuable investigational new drug (IND) enabling discovery pipeline. The pipeline consists of I) genetically-encoded library technology (BiGEL2) for the discovery of bicyclic ligands for cell-based targets, II) high throughput synthesis of selected discovered ligand, III) measurement of binding and specificity profile and IV) permeability assays. These scaffolds are stable and resilient to simulated gastrointestinal conditions and thus, the discovery platform will provide potentially oral and bioavailable therapeutics.

This project aims to develop a dependency database of building parts to support decision making in the design of buildings by solving ambiguity caused by dependencies amongst building parts.

Germany ZIM Project with international partners Supracon AG, Jena Germany; Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (IPHT), Jena Germany.
The project aims to develop a novel helicopter-based system for transient electromagnetics (QTEM) with very high dipole moment (TX), the lowest noise (both enhance the signal-to-noise ratio, SNR) and the best bandwidth over competing systems to account for a significant share of the rapidly growing market in airborne electromagnetics for oil, gas and mineral exploration, hydrogeology and more.

Validate the hypothesis of using an OSB sub-layer in the manufacture of an engineered floor. We will have to test the moisture resistance capabilities of different materials as well as their elasticity.

Our goal is to create a vending machine that provides 100% healthy fresh smoothies. Using the latest technology in the food packing business we are able to create our system without shipping and storing produce frozen. The method used also has no preservatives as well as a 2-year shelf life. Using this packing system we will add an ice machine and a blender to create the drinks. The entire system will be fully automated and be app controlled for both the transactions as well as the product selection.

The purpose of this project to the create a launching off point to begin production of a physical working prototype including software architecture of a system an active motion management system for use in high precision radiation therapy.

As Ultrafiltration (UF) is an effective processing method used to separate small and large molecules, Botaneco envisages to use UF to facilitate protein concentration and purification from oil seed feedstock that uses to make non-protein high value products at present. The main challenge with UF is membrane fouling (plugging) and resulting in a decrease in performance over time and replacement of membranes is required that adds to operating costs. As UF performance decreases over time, an oversized system is likely required to accommodate proposed flow rates, potentially larger capital investment than truly necessary. This project is understanding the factors in fouling, how to mitigate these factors, & what the costs are (operating & capital) of an UF system that would meet the requirements for a full-scale manufacturing facility.

The project aims to provide Canadian SMEs, a specialized laboratory, with dedicated spaces equipped with light telecommunications technologies over half a kilometer of underground galleries to offer services and set up activities dedicated to the development, commercialization and outreach of ITUC products and solutions.

There is a desperate need for a fast, non-contact, non-invasive, safe and accurate technique that can measure oxygen saturation, oxygen metabolic activity, and multilayered histology-like information. Quickly acquiring in-situ microscope images of disease morphology and oxygen metabolic activity can play a vital role in understanding, and better treating, several diseases including cancers and vision loss. To achieve this, Histological and Functional Photoacoustic Remote Sensing (HF-PARS) microscopy is being developed to provide a quick, easy-to-use, reliable, and high resolution non-contact photo-acoustic based microscopy. This can easily be incorporated into current patient care and improve diagnosis and treatment these diseases.
