Developed in ��ݮ��Ƶ, now orbiting in space

A one-of-a-kind communications device developed by researchers at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ is now orbiting the Earth as a central component of a microsatellite launched in Sriharikota, India on Tuesday to test new technologies in space.

The product of several years of work and refinement, the compact, sophisticated antenna for identifying and managing marine traffic is built into a Canadian Space Agency (CSA) satellite that is about the size of a household dishwasher.

The leap from engineer to entrepreneur was a logical one for (BASc 2009,��Electrical; MMSc 2014, Management of Technology), owner of , an online custom bridal party outfitting business. “Entrepreneurs, like engineers, are all about solving problems,” says Tsoi. “Every day I wake up and think about each business problem with an analytical mind, just like the engineer I am. It’s the same approach.”

X-ray technology is at the beginning of a digital revolution that will transform the Canadian health-care system by detecting diseases such as cancer and heart disease faster and more accurately than traditional X-ray machines, allowing patients to begin treatment sooner.

Some Nunavut communities could cut their fossil fuel use by up to��half with renewable energy that wouldn't cost any more than the��aging diesel generators they now use, a new study has concluded.

"The technical challenges have been for the most part��addressed," said Claudio Canizares, one of the authors of the report that was conducted��by six Inuit, academic and environmental��groups and��funded by the World Wildlife Fund Canada.
