Equine Veterinarian Lameness Detection and Diagnostic System
An equine products company focused on technology for detection and characterization of lameness. This technology improves veterinarian performance, productivity and profitability, and the standard of care for horses. The system consists of four inertial-sensing wireless transducers, a notebook computer receiver, and proprietary software leveraging unique lameness quantification algorithms to detect and determine the degree of lameness within each limb.
Manufacturing and Distribution of Specialty Oxidizer Ferrate (VI)
A company which has developed a commercially viable means to produce high purity potassium ferrate(VI) and other ferrate salts in an environmentally friendly manner. Ferrate(VI) is one of the most highly oxidative materials known to exist. It is also superior to the other classic oxidizers currently commercially available in that it is halogen-free allowing it to be used in many more applications than the classic oxidizer. Applications include water purification, cathotic material for batteries, decontamination and disinfection, as well as many others. The Process was named one of R&D Magazine's 100 most significant inventions of 2007, a very prestigious honor.
Ferratec Liquid Applications
Ferratec Liquid Applications has licensed a technology developed by Florida Institute of Technology and a world renowned expert, Dr. Virender K. Sharma, in Potassium Ferrate (Fe IV). This process for manufacturing commercial quantities of liquid Ferrate provides a complementary offering to the crystalline ferrate currently being produced by TIF company Ferratec©. The combination of these technologies provides an opportunity to extend our offering of Ferrate (VI) in the water quality market.
Psychiatry Portal and EMR with Icon-driven Medication Management and Longitudinal Charting
A company that transforms mental health practices with the HomePsych communication platform. This online platform allows mental health providers to access their clients' records from anywhere, allows providers to conduct visit by online video conferencing and allows clients to report symptoms and update their profiles via a secure online portal.

Ultrasonic Prostatectomy Device
Ultrasonic Prostatectomy Device which allows for a relatively bloodless surgery, reduced morbidity, reduced procedure time, improved efficacy and only requires a 23 hour hospital admission. Essentially improves upon the traditional surgery outcomes without the risks. Patents filed and currently pending. Class II device which requires 510K approval.
Ophthalmic Formulation of Mitomycin-c, in Sterile, Single Use Kit
This company has introducted two medical devices into the medical market. The first is a sterile, single dose ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-c. This will be used in trabeculectomy (glaucoma) surgery, which will be marketed under the name of Trabomycin™. The second device is named Myringomycin™ and it converts the current myringotomy procedure (pressure equalization tubes that are implanted in children) from an operating room to an office based procedure.
Physiologically Correct Implants and Catheters
Unique both in material and design, these implants address the root cause of existing device failure at the molecular level, resulting in optimal bio-compatibility and physiological acceptance.
WiMax Spectrum Utilizing Steerable Phased Array Technology
This Electronically Steerable Phased Array Antenna (ESPAA) technology provides a new method for adaptively enhancing communications systems and networks at a price figure substantially below that hitherto available. The design methodology for the first time permits the mass manufacture of commercially priced ESPAA technology which may be applied to a wide range of Radio/Wireless Communication and RFID applications such as Wi-Fi networks, WiMax wide area networks and cellular radio networks. This technology also corrects current deficiencies such as interference, dropped signals, fading and weather related interruptions.
Advanced Fragrance Delivery and Air Treatment Systems
This is a disruptive technology that will change how fragrances are delivered and air quality is managed in the home. In the home fragrance market, current products deliver simple scents that breakdown due to the heating of the fragrance oils. EHD Delivery systems deliver the finest, complex fragrances opening up new opportunities for Retailers. Home Fragrance is a multi-billion dollar market and this technology represents a new fragrance delivery platform.
EHD Insect Control
EHD Insect Control utilizes EHD technology to precisely manage the aerosolization of pesticides and/or scents to more effectively control insects such as mosquitoes. The immediate market opportunity resides in Europe and Japan. US market will be penetrated via insecticide replacement.
High Efficiency Pulmonary Drug Delivery
Optivair has a clinically proven device that achieves exceptionally high efficiency in delivering drugs to the lung. The EHD technology utilized in the device enables rapid systemic uptake of a drug which can have important therapeutic advantages. This technology can have a significant impact on breakthrough pain management, hormone replacement therapy, migraine treatment, and other major therapeutic classes.
Advanced Spectroscopic Technologies, LLC
Advanced Spectroscopic Technologies, LLC was formed to provide ultra sensitive detector add-ons for use in spectrometers. The company holds several patents covering techniques that increase instrument sensitivity over 100X. The first market vertical is a retrofit compatible with 100,000 existing benchtop instruments.
Buckeye Medical Solutions, LLC
Buckeye Medical Solutions, LLC was created to commercialize a recently acquired technology that will improve the care of the growing patient population with chronic wounds caused by immobility or disease. This wound care platform with sanitary disposable will improve the efficiency of clinicians and improve patient care.
Ceramic Controls
Ceramic Controls has licensed a novel method of detecting O2 and NOx including a lower cost process to manufacture the sensors with proven capacitor industry technology. The detection method eliminates major components which lowers product cost & maintenance, and allows a smaller, more durable & reliable product. Markets include automotive, diesel trucks and industrial processes using combustion (fuel).
Perfect 90, LLC
Recently formed Perfect 90, LLC is the exclusive licensee and commercialization agent to a patented improvement for tape measures used in the construction, trades, and home improvement space. This simple, yet innovative approach to creating right angles embosses the hypotenuse length corresponding to each increment of the adjacent equilateral legs.
Emergence BioScreening, LLC
Recently formed Emergence BioScreening, LLC is the exclusive licensee of a technology from Missouri University of Science & Technology (Rolla) for both a novel instrument and method to detect pteridine biomarkers in urine samples for cancer screening. The technique is non-invasive, sensitive, accurate, fast, simple, cost effective, and adaptable for routine screening at annual physicals, monitoring of cancer progression, evaluation of cancer treatments, and as a translational research tool in pharmaceutical research.
