Development of RSL (Replacable Skin Layer) powder that can be produced at a lower cost and with increased manipulation of the electric double layer around colloidal solids.

Water disinfection and sanitation are highly regulated markets in the health care and recreational water industry. SanEcoTec® Ltd (SET) has identified two potential market segments in these sectors based on the preliminary market research conducted, where SET can provide innovative, sustainable and advanced disinfection technologies and systems with distinct competitive advantages over competitive technologies. Commercialization of SET products into these markets cannot begin until the proper registrations and relevant data are obtained. The cost of obtaining unique sets of regulatory approvals and certifications, and validations of scientific data represents a significant barrier to entry for a Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises.

The project will involve design, development and installation of one of the key sections of our reactors known as the lower chamber to attain a controlled chemical and temperature environment, greatly improving hourly production of powders with impeccable qualities. In addition to greatly increasing throughput and yield thereby improving process economics and company competitiveness, the project will allow the manufacture of traditionally difficult but high value alloys at rates similar to less complex materials.

To build artificial intelligence software that utilizes existing data feeds and historical data from Giatec sensors to predict concrete performance and minimize cement and concrete additives used in construction. The outcome will be to reduce time to achieve concrete performance, reduce cost of concrete and substantially reduce the production of greenhouse gases from concrete use. The total value that this technology bring to various stakeholders in construction will be around $10/m3.

SmartCone intends to develop the first certified sensor agnostic and adaptable wearable system for industrial applications including public safety and security; see System Diagram - Attachments. The system will be based on SmartCone's patented location system and the empirically supported heat stress research work from the University of Ottawa. This new technology will enhance the existing success SmartCone is having with IBM, Nokia and Exelon Corp.

This project will seek to increase the capabilities of computing at the edge of the technology footprint, with the SymBot acting as the data processing engine at the source of the data collection. Similarly, SymView will employ the practice of deep learning in order to present benchmarking capabilities to customers for their fleets, operators and work environments.

Accelerated development of a minimally commerically viable Functional Gap Assessment (FGA) software solution and feature set that will support faster, risk reduced Common Criteria product certification for governments and enterprise class IT product vendors.

The purpose of this project is to develop a high capacity solvent recycling machine capable of reliably meeting the needs of high volume waste producers within the printing, packaging, and painting industries. Through increased recycling efficiency and capacity this new machine will create reductions in GHG emissions of fifty percent as well as significant cost savings, providing a major economic and carbon footprint impact for these industries.

Procurement, installation and commissioning of equipment for the development and characterization of metal additive manufacturing powders and parts.

Procurement, installation and commissioning of equipment for next generation materials deposition and characterization for electronic and photonic devices at the University of Ottawa.
