Organic compounds, electrolysis, electrochemical, electrochemical synthesis, electrocatalysis, electrochemistry, galvanic, galvanic baths, acetylenic compounds, organic chemistry, Oxidation, nickel, electroplating, metal industry, Automotive
- Description of the technology offer :
  
  The research group of Applied Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis of the University of Alicante has developed a stereoselective process for the electrochemical synthesis of 3-(2-propynoxy)-2-propenoic acid and/or mixtures of acetylenic compounds (the same acid and propargyl alcohol) through one step. This synthesis does not use permanganate as oxidising agent, avoids extreme conditions of reaction and minimises the residues management. The electrochemist group is looking for companies interested in acquiring this technology for commercial purposes or for establishing projects to adopt this technology to their needs.
  
  Share tech offer
  
  New and innovative aspects
  
  Regarding the existing state of the technique, the electrochemical processes have characteristics which make them very adequate to be applied for the synthesis of organic compounds with industrial application. Here, oxidation processes occurs upon electrodes named anodes where the substance which must be oxidized loses its electrons on the anode without needing conventional oxidising agents. Therefore, contaminants derived from the use of conventional oxidising agents are not generated and hence, no need for the management of hazardous residues is applicable.
  
  On the other hand, the electrochemical processes are developed under soft conditions (atmospheric pressure and room temperature) and clearly facilitate further processes of separation of one of the compounds of the reaction mixture.

The method is based on the application of the network theory to characterize the organization of tissues and enables to perform comparative histological studies from biopsy of skeletal muscle tissue of a patient. The method presented eliminates the subjectivity with which these diseases are currently diagnosed.
  
  Share tech offer
  
  New and innovative aspects
  
  At present, the diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases is based on visual interpretation, by the pathologist specialist, of the morphological evaluation of biopsies from patients. It incorporates a certain level of subjectivity in the diagnosis of the involvement degree of the disease. Ultimately the diagnosis can not be quantified in an objective manner.
  The invention presents a method of analysis for diagnosing neuromuscular diseases. The method is based on recent findings that demonstrate the applicability of the network theory to the characterization of tissues. In this way, it is possible to obtain new specific parameters able to characterize a biopsy of skeletal muscle tissue from a patient and compare it to a healthy one. From this comparison it is possible to determine objectively possible muscle diseases and their degree of involvement.

Prognostic test for identifying early stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients in high risk of recurrence

biomarker, Diagnosis, prognosis, oncology, cancer, lung
- Description of the technology offer :
  
  Early-stage NSCLC patients are treated primarily by surgical removal of their tumors, but nearly half of all these patients will develop recurrent disease (30% to 40% of stage I patients). These recurrence rates imply that patients diagnosed with the same stage of disease have markedly different treatment responses and overall outcomes.
  There is a real need for a prognostic tool that will enable physicians, using this marker, to identify stage I NSCLC patients (previously treated only with surgery) with a risk of recurrence that may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT).
  Moreover, selection of patients to be treated avoids the additional costs and patient suffering associated with under-treating them.

  Share tech offer
  
  New and innovative aspects
  
  Quasi one-dimentional magnetic nanostructures, such as nanorods, nanowires, and nanotubes have attracted significant scientific and technological interest because they exhibit unique magnetic properties not displayed by their bulk or nanoparticle counterparts. A variety of methods have been proposed for synthesizing various types of nanorods. And, while these methods have yielded varying degrees of success, they all are faced with the same common problems associated with chemical and physical processes, such as high cost, aggregation and coarsening of particles at elevated temperatures, and shape control, all of which limits their applications. We present here a novel fabrication method based on the reverse micelle method to produce magnetic nanorods of a dendritic fashion in repose to an applied magnetic field at room temperature. This technology offers an efficient, cost-effective method of nanostructure fabrication, and also for magnetic nanostructres having unique morphologies, that hold great potential for reducing costs of nanostructure manufacturers.

- Description of the technology offer :
  
  In heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), FeRh-FePt composite particles are extensively used to increase thermal stability and overcome the write field limitations in both longitudinal and perpendicular magnetic recordings. Spherical nanoparticles offer magnetically isotropic media with functional advantages over conventional particles. Thus, the synthesis of spherical FeRh-FePt composite nanoparticles offers significant potential for increased magnetic storage media stability and function. This current technology offering includes methods and processes for making FeRh/FePt core shell nanostructures and their use as an ulta-high density storage media.
  
  Share tech offer
  
  New and innovative aspects
  
  In HAMR, both the coercivity and saturation magnetization of FePt are lowered during the heating process.However, the lowering of saturation magnetization of FePt reduces the thermal stability of the FePt media and therefore the ability of the FePt media to maintain written data over time. By magnetically coupling FePt with FeRh, the saturation magnetization of the FeRh--FePt system is increased over that of FePt alone, resulting in an increase in the thermal stability of the magnetic recording media and solving the write-ability problem.Therefore the synthesis of FeRh and the magnetic coupling of with FePt overcomes the write field limitations in both longitudinal and perpendicular magnetic recordings. This current technology offering includes methods and processes for making uniformly spherical FeRh/FePt core shell nanostructures and their demonstrated use as an ultra-high density storage media. This technology has significant potential as a ultra-high density storage media. Read more

Low-power, high-performance flip-flop using only a single clocked transistor

transistor, flip, flop circuit, clocked
- Description of the technology offer :
  
  The clocked transistors within a flip-flop have 100% switch activity and present a huge load on the clock distribution network. If one can reduce the number of clocked transistors in a flip-flop, the clock tree will have less capacity load and hence reduce the power consumed in the clock network.. This invention provides a low power, high performance flip-flop circuit using only one clocked transistor.
  
  Share tech offer
  
  New and innovative aspects
  
  Power consumption is a major concern in modern processors. Processor clock systems, consisting of flip-flops and latches, consume a large amount of power in modern processors. If one can reduce the number of clocked transistors in a flip-flop, the clock tree will have less capacity load and hence reduce the power consumed in the clock network. This will further result in reducing the number and size of the clock driving buffers, which will in turn cause a significant reduction in the power consumption of the overall system. We have invented a single-transistor-clocked flip-flop that enables minimizing of redundant switching activity, reduction of glitches at the output node, and less power consumption than current flip-flop devices. Collectively, this technology provides a low power, high performance flip-flop circuit with significant potential to increase circuit and overall system reliability, efficiency and speed. Read more

  The ability of the human ribonuclease variants to degrade nuclear RNA is the basis of a therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer. Our ribonucleases are non-genotoxic drugs and it is though very difficult that they may generate drug resistance phenotype onto the treated cells. In addition, its human origin warrants poor or null immunogenicity in clinical uses. Their mechanism of action is different to that of other ribonucleases that are currently being assayed in clinical trials as anticancer drugs, like onconase or other RI-evading ribonucleases. This is because our ribonucleases act by destroying nuclear RNA instead of cytoplasmatic RNA and therefore produce different effects on treated cells. Read more

- Description of the technology offer :
  
  The present invention aims at developing a new diagnostic test in CLL for a better patient stratification into prognostic groups
  • This new tool is able to classify CLLs into 3 new prognostic groups: MBC-like, intermediate, and NBC-like, using only 5 epigenetic biomarkers
  • After 10 years only 20% of the patients from the MBC-like group, 43% from the NBC-like group, and 100% from the NBC-like group will need treatment
  • This stratification will allow a better management of the patients improving their quality of life and to rationalise the health care expenditure
  
  Share tech offer
  
  New and innovative aspects
  
  The current classification of M-CLL (mutated) and U-CLL (unmutated) is not used in clinical protocols to decide upon patient treatment and follow-up. The possibility of a better diagnosis and prognosis of CLL would be very useful for the proper management of the patients.
  Follow-up checks could be done less frequently improving the quality of life of those patients that have a better prognosis, such as the MBC-like group.
  This test will allow to:
  - Improve the quality of life of CLL patients
  - Improve management strategies that are more adjusted to the biology of this disease
  - Reduce the health care costs Read more
