The Canadian-built Space Shuttle robotic arm (left), referred to as Canadarm, transferred the P5 truss segment over to the Canadian-built space station robotic arm, referred to as Canadarm2. Science and technology in Canada consists of three distinct but closely related phenomena: the diffusion of technology in Canada; scientific research in Canada
JACO – a robotic arm for wheelchairs invented by Charles Deguire and Louis-Joseph Caron L'Écuyer from the Canadian technology company Kinova [56] [57] The first commercial jetliner to fly in North America – designed by James C. Floyd, the term jetliner being derived from his Avro Canada C102 Jetliner (1949) [26]
The technology, which separated the chemicals for match ignition, some on the match head and some on the striking surface, was invented by J.E. Lumdstrom in Sweden in 1855. Canadian production began in 1856 when Ezra Butler Eddy began to manufacture safety matches in Hull, Quebec.
The technology that dominates this period of time is wireless technology, cloud computing, HD/3D TV, mega oil, "greentech" and nanotechnology. Most technologies diffused in Canada came from other places; only a small number actually originated in Canada. For more about those with a Canadian origin, see Invention in Canada.
The arrival of the Europeans provided a new impetus for innovation and invention. The first metal works, Les Forges de St. Maurice, developed metal products for colonial use. Along with the Royal Dockyards of 1666 and 1746 in Quebec City, they constituted the first groups of skilled industrial labourers working in teams to solve the problems related to the construction of complex struc
Canadian producers of micro-computers included Ogivar, Sidus Systems, 3D Microcomputers, Seanix Technology and MDG Computers. Of note is the fact that these machines were based on digital technology, and their widespread and rapid introduction to Canada at the same time that the telephone system was undergoing a similar transformation would ...
