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.

2023 YEP

Agreement Number:

1003838

Duration: from Apr 3, 2023 to Oct 31, 2023
Description:

Prosaris has developed a SMART Ultrasonic Gas leak Detector and strives to add innovative capability by exploiting advanced DSP capabilities available for the current hardware. Prosaris must expand the technical team to included talented embedded software engineers with knowledge and experience of the development of FPGA devices. We will target 3 devices:
• MCU – Multiple MCU’s per device perform beamforming and data aggregation for 3 beamforming arrays.
• FPGA – New device intended to add pre-processing features like high resolution FFT.
• ARM MCU – This processor is embedded in the Bluetooth module included with the next gen HW and used as the system controller for accelerometer, time of flight range sensor and temperature sensor.

Prosaris OL and HL Series Critical Manufacturing Improvements and Sound Advancements

Agreement Number:

991658

Duration: from May 23, 2022 to Mar 31, 2023
Description:

Prosaris has developed an ultrasonic leak detector that detects, locates and quantifies small gas leaks. This project builds on previous achievements by introducing FPGAs as a means to improve processing capability and product robustness. Through software and firmware innovations, we will also significantly improve our ability to recognize characteristic leaks, eliminate unwanted noise, further improve quantification, add support for partial discharge detection and explore further features which will benefit from more intelligent sound recognition from our solution.
