Grants and Contributions

SolAeroMed Inc is developing respiratory based technologies spun out of the University of Calgary. The project will support a proof of concept study to evaluate the firm's lead drug S1226 in Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

The project aims to develop a unique cold storage box using Enersion’s innovative cooling technology that takes advantage of surface physics to extend cold box cooling duration by 8 times that of the regular cold boxes. By the end of this project, Enersion will prototype a small sized box for high value products such as chocolate.

Blightmare is a 2D, story based platform game that explores the trials and challenges of a young girl coming of age and dealing with the mental challenges of growing up.

Using story, engaging mechanics and working with youth and in field experts, Blightmare is intended to be a game that explores the challenges of climate change and the psychological pressures that that puts on today's youth.

Design Online is a browser-based application used to design carbide tooling which allows users to log into De Boer Tool servers to modify standard carbide cutting tooling to suit the needs of the user. The application presents a three-dimensional (CAD) VRML file in human readable format through commonly available industry standard web browsers. Design Online eliminates much of the work needed within DeBoer Tool to render customer concepts (verbal description, sketch or detailed drawings) into shop drawings as well as streamlining scheduling and invoicing with computer automation.

This project aims at the development of smarter sensors to improve both (a) their reliability and (b) their ability to extract the higher level information required for the deployment of self-driving cars. More specifically, in the context of this project, we intend to develop more competitive radar solutions that will integrate advanced features not available in current radar sensor technology. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence and in particular deep neural networks (DNN), has drastically improved the performance of many sensors such as laser scanners and cameras. Our objective is therefore to develop an embedded solution that will allow radars to produce more accurate information.

Engage Grants (EGP) are designed to give innovative companies that operate from a Canadian base access to the unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities available at Canadian universities and colleges. These grants are intended to foster the development of new research partnerships by supporting short-term research and development projects aimed at addressing a company-specific problem; that is, a problem related to the company’s core competencies or activities. The simplified application and decision processes enable university and college researchers to quickly undertake new research collaborations that extend academic expertise to these problems. The mutually beneficial projects are expected to result in economic benefits to the company and to Canada and build impactful longer term collaborations between the applicant and the company.
