Technology Opportunities

The cumene process (cumene-phenol process, or Hock process) is the major industrial process for synthesizing phenol and acetone from benzene and propylene. Cumene is currently produced by the reaction of cumene with oxygen at high temperature (80-120°C) for several hours under typically 5 ...

Dr. Cohen and Dr Adar have isolated a novel colorless sun blocker compound. The compound, SH-401, is purified from Rhus coriaria (commonly called Sicilian sumac), an edible plant that is used as a spice. Importantly, SH-40 was shown to block UVA & UVB (including DNA damage) and rejuvenate the ...

Prof. Baranes and his team have developed a biocompatible compound combining calcium carbonate, citrate and polylysine which causes immediate coagulation of massive bleeding which can be implemented in the field. It has been tested in vivo on wounds of liver, heart, spleen and ...

A novel method for modifying the wettability and germination properties of a diversity of seeds by cold radiofrequency air plasma treatment. The suggested method, air plasma treatment, leads to a dramatic decrease in the apparent contact angle, increase in water absorption, control speed of ...

Many applications in commercial and defense industries require optical imaging and monitoring of the 3D environment. Some examples are robotics, CAD/CAM, reverse engineering, range finding, topography mapping and 3D cameras. Other applications require high-resolution characterization of optical ...

There are situations that require capabilities beyond the scope of a single agent, such as a multitude of mobile targets being deployed where it is desired to intercept them. Man-in-the-loop situations are not sufficient to deal with monitoring, directing and communicating with a swarm of ...

A simple and cost-effective technology for on-site ceramic coating of metals using Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) Surface Treatment, which does not rely on traditional electrolytic bath. The technology addresses a projected $200B metal coating ...
