Snow Goggles

Ingenious - Ingénieux

The answer from the world around them. Anyone who has walked across a snow-covered field on a sunny day can attest to the blinding intensity of the glare. Today, we quickly slip on our Ray-Bans or Oakleys. The Inuit people of Canada’s North had no such luxury. For an answer to snow blindness, they looked to the world around them. Taking a piece of antler or bone, usually from a caribou, the Inuit carved a long slit through it – wide enough to give its wearer the ability to see but narrow enough

The catapult to the future. Nineteen ninety-six stands as the opening year in our era of anytime-anywhere communications. That year, Mike Lazaridis unveiled the prototype of his first wireless communications device. Sure, there were all kinds of cellular phones on the market by then, but while most telecom firms and mobile carriers still focused on voice, the enterprising engineer from Waterloo, Ontario, believed people were just as eager to communicate by data. The next year, his company

The superior cooking oil. Rapeseed was the cash crop for generations of Canadian farmers. The oil produced from the bright yellow-flowering member of the mustard family was used to lubricate the world’s steam engines. But when diesel replaced steam, the demand for rapeseed plummeted, taking many Canadian farm incomes with it. Baldur Stefansson and Keith Downey found an alternative use for rapeseed oil. In 1974, the two agricultural scientists at the University of Manitoba carried out a series of

Surprising Stories on the Fly

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

“Boundless Horizons” for Outreach Exhibitions I love quirkiness—anything surprising that makes me pause, take note, or re-think. That’s one reason I find interpretive planning so rewarding. I get to find creative ways to share stories with museum visitors—layering catchy texts, evocative images, and historic objects.

Matthew Sheridan: Nix Color Sensor

Ernest C. Manning Awards Foundation

The ability to match, formulate, correct and control the quality of colour is a vital function in many industries including textiles, cosmetics, computer imaging, commercial paints and graphic design. Traditionally, every colour measurement method, from spectrophotometers to fans of paint colours, has been costly, difficult to transport and largely inaccurate due to varying light conditions and human error. Matthew Sheridan came up with the idea for a ping pong ball-sized colour sensor after

Fabrizio Chiacchia and Iwain Lam: CleanPatch

Ernest C. Manning Awards Foundation

An estimated 220,000 Canadians a year pick up infections at healthcare facilities, with hospital-acquired infections (HAI) identified as the cause of up to 12,000 deaths and $1 billion in health-care costs annually. Typically, hospitals and clinics have approached this challenge by investing in more staff and supplies to keep surfaces clean. Fabrizio Chiacchia and Iwain Lam’s pioneering approach involves developing products to prevent hospital beds, stretchers and other surfaces from becoming

Dr. Vito Forte: OtoSim Medical Training Tool

Ernest C. Manning Awards Foundation

In his many years teaching at the University of Toronto Department of Otolaryngology, Dr. Vito Forte with his colleague Dr. Paolo Campisi, watched medical students struggle to learn how to accurately diagnose ear conditions. It became clear that students needed more practice time to develop the ability to correctly perform an otoscopy, or ear exam, and avoid over-prescribing antibiotics and unnecessary referrals to specialists, which contribute to the overall burden on the healthcare system
