Rockburst Technologies, a subsidiary of Envisioning Labs, is dedicated to the research, development and commercialization of the novel Transcritical CO2 Pulverization (tCO2) technology. tCO2 is a next-generation, energy-efficient rock comminution technique that aims to significantly reduce the energy consumed and GHG emissions produced during rock breakage in mining.

https://www.envisioninglabs.com/Primary responsibilities:· Research· Innovation Challenge Proposals· Product Development/R&D· Contract Proposal/Report Writing· Business Development and StrategyExample R&D contract work proposed and landed: 2019 to present, executing projects for the National Research Council Canada on developing Metal Powder Bed Density Test Equipment, for Transport Canada developing LIDAR bathymetry from boats to reduce the impact of echosounders on whales; and 2018-2019, executed a project for a mining company wanting to explore the reuse of mine tailings in value added products (glass for solar energy in our case so far).Ideated, proposed, pitched and landed a finalist position in the Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) CrushIt! challenge, addressing the inefficiency of rock comminution (crushing and grinding) in mining. Currently executing R&D and experimental testing to determine all relevant process and rock parameters for understanding its commercialization value from a technical and economic perspective.

Blue Marble Labs worked towards harmonizing personal and environmental health. Our initial product and service was targeted to outdoor air quality via air pollution sensing, and we built prototype wearable device hardware, mobile app and web software and cloud services. Our big vision encompassed sensing all kinds of personalized environmental conditions, such as indoor air, allergy causing irritants, water quality, light and noise exposure, and more.

Formerly called Immersive Systems, which searched for a product idea to turn into the basis for a business, Culturecraft Designs has emerged focused on kitchen tools. One Canadian patent application filed: https://patents.google.com/patent/CA2904911A1
