OneCup uses Computer Vision to uniquely identify livestock and wildlife from almost any angle, effectively Face ID for animals, called 360 Live ID. We then track health, growth, activity, nutrition, and phenotypes with the ID. It is a revolutionary idea that will disrupt the agricultural industry. We call our AI for cattle BETSY, or Bovine […]

Chemical nitrogen fertilizers applied to the soil are easily lost, reducing crop nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The loss of fertilizer nitrogen will also result in nitrate contamination of surface water and emission of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere. Western Ag has developed a coating technique where a powder form of black carbon (produced through the […]

Drug development process is time consuming, expensive, complex and highly risky. The nature of risk in this industry is multidimensional. One important dimension involves clinical development since late-stage development failures are the costliest. If pharmacological efficacy and safety remain well-known failure factors, the literature abounds on a multitude of important failure risk factors of a […]

The Festival will […]

Galium Nitride (GaN) technology compared to the conventional silicon and silicon carbide technologies gives better switching performance in terms of switching losses and switching speed. Also, since GaN Fets do not have intrinsic body diode as in Si and SiC based switching MOSFETS, they can work at much higher frequencies in room temperature, leading to […]

Canada is one of the largest per capita users of fresh water in the world. A blind spot in water consumption is that people are often unaware of how much water is being used. One solution is to provide instant feedback on water consumption to users and use behavioural interventions to promote water conservation among […]
