If you have hard time to extract information residing in databases or in the deep web, you may have an interest in hearing about DIET.
DIET can be demonstrated through a WebEx. If you have 10-15 min, it will be a pleasure for us to organize this for you.
DIET is not currently fully packaged and not ready for sale and we’re evaluating the market and potential applications. We are then interested in having your views on its use as a business intelligence tool.

Ptidej: New Demo
We’ve presented Ptidej previously.
Yann Gaël has just posted a descriptive video on his website.

The Fantastic Voyage: Videos
We presented Prof. Martel’s work in a previous post.
Illustrative videos are presented on the website of the research group
Positioning a Device from a Single Base Station
This method allows to localize any types of devices in a multipath environment from a single base station.
Prof. Jean Conan and Ji LI (Ph.D Candidate) have recently demonstrated that only 3 multipaths are required to reach less than 10% of errors in 90% of the cases, i.e. the FCC requirements for the E911.
This technology is now available for licensing. Technical sheet and slideshows available on flintbox
The Fantastic Voyage: From Science Fiction to Reality
Some 40 years after the release of the classic science fiction movie Fantastic Voyage, Prof. Sylvain Martel succeeded, for the first time, in guiding, in vivo and via computer control, a microdevice inside an artery, at a speed of 10 centimeters a second.
Since the beginning of this year, this technology has been publicizing from North America to Europe (Sciences et Vie) and Russia (Newsweek). This major technological breakthrough is also presented on the web via many blogs such as NanoTechnology Today, Medical Robotics or Science Info (in French).
Two patent applications have been submitted by Univalor and we’re currently seeking sponsor research and licensing agreements with a commercial partner.

Protect your IDs, currencies or goods from counterfeiting
This device, relied on the metameric phenomenon, is a new method of anti-counterfeiting.
Metameric stimuli can be defined as objects with different reflection or transmission spectra having the same tristimulus values (color coordinates) under a specific illuminant (light source). In other words, their colors appear identical. As a rule of thumb, the reflection or transmission spectra of two different objects must intersect at least in three points in the visible spectrum in order for metamerism to be possible. The higher the number of intersections, the higher the possibility that two objects are metameric under more than one illuminant (the infinite case being two identical spectra). It is also rare that a pair of colors is metameric for all observers.
Developed and proven at Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal by Prof. Ludvik Martinu, this technology is now protected by two patent applications in Canada and in the US. To move toward the next step, we’re currently seeking a partner to license it or to support a grant application to the Government of Canada aiming to its implementation on a real device.
