Bridges Environmental Solutions Inc has developed a novel and low cost process for dewatering wood and waste wood materials and extracting a lignin-based solution useful in subsequent wood reforming and laminating processes, which they have helped develop. They use this lignin product to both chemically modify cellulose structures and permanently reform wood for improved mechanical […]

We are developing an automated monitoring system to optimize the frequency of septic tank pumps. Septic tanks are used in ~87% of rural communities across Canada; current best practice for maintenance pumping is neither effective nor efficient as it is based on time rather than use. A reliable monitoring system can reduce cost by minimizing […]

This project aims to investigate the benefits of using linguistic cues for extracting speech-of-interest from competing background noise. Given an algorithm which detects formants of a speaker of interest within an audio signal which includes background noise, and given that the limits of such an approach are reached when formants of the speaker of interest […]

Ion sources are important for TRIUMF Canada’s national particle accelerator laboratory, as they are a key sub-system in the TRIUMF 500 MeV Cyclotron which is used for world-class fundamental discovery science, and cutting-edge technology development and transfer to the medical and industrial sectors. D-Pace is a spin-off of TRIUMF, and is a global leader in […]
