AI Scale-Up EAIGLE Harnesses the Power of Ontario’s Tech Ecosystem

 

The road to success for Markham-based artificial intelligence (AI) solutions scale-up EAIGLE began in perhaps the least techy place imaginable: public swimming pools. Health and safety protocols dictate that water in city pools must be changed based on how many people swim each day. But according to EAIGLE Co-Founder and CEO Amir Hoss, many litres of water are typically wasted every day, which has a drastic impact on our environment. With his experience working on smart cities, Hoss teamed up with University of Toronto PhD graduate and current EAIGLE Co-founder and CTO Mahdi Marsousi to develop a way to count the number of people who visit the pool using an image processing software powered by deep tech AI.

MC Parker Chomerics Webinar 2022 Thermal Interface Material Innovations 1 400

Parker Chomerics Presents Webinar “2022 Thermal Interface Material Innovations for Consumer Electronics”

 

Parker Chomerics have been busy developing new, next generation thermal interface materials specifically to help aid in thermal cooling of consumer electronics devices. This includes application in products like smart home devices such as control and connectivity, smart appliances, security systems, home entertainment, comfort and lighting and energy management. Successful thermal management of high-power electronic components (single chips, multi-chip modules, integrated circuits, etc.) with high heat dissipation ratings requires careful design engineering. In this seminar, Parker Chomerics will take you through how to apply these next-generation thermal materials in your application and how they can help solve the design and engineering issues facing the ever-connected consumer electronics devices.
