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.

AI/ML Circuit Model for Plasma Based Seismic Source
1043888
Development of a pulsed plasma impulse reactor that has a high signal strength and broad band frequency response.
The devices physical form factor, liquid media and electrical circuit parameters are to be modelled as a system, in an AI/machine learning environment to optimize the parameters for generating a high quality seismic signal.

Plasma Seismic Reactor Optimization
1028486
Hyfold wants to develop a numerical model and simulator to optimize both the form factor and liquid media of the plasma reactor to improve key performance requirements for both signal amplitude and broadband frequency. Collaborations with academia and industry and numerous field testing projects have identified the need to both broaden the output frequency spectrum and increase the signal amplitude generated by the plasma pulse tool. R&D, prototyping and testing has demonstrated that these sought after optimizations are highly influenced by both the reactor form factor and fluid media in the reactor. Due to the numerous degrees of freedom in the plasma system the most cost effective pathway to achieve these objectives is numeric simulation
