Laboratory techniques for contaminant transport assessmentLaboratory techniques: Experimental analysis of processes affecting transport of contaminants through the vadose zone and the aquifer are necessary to interpret field data, especially when the recognition at field level is hampered by the complexity of the environmental system. Batch and column experiments, specifically designed to simulate field conditions as reliably as possible, provide valuable information on interaction between contaminants and vadose zone and/or aquifer materials. These laboratory techniques are also useful to assess the response in terms of contaminant removal during water reuse and water treatment activities. Experimental study should always be coupled with numerical modelling to quantify contaminant transport parameters, with the aim of finding the nexus between field and laboratory research.

Land application systems for urban wastewater treatment of small built-up areasA Land Application Systems (Figure 1) is a plot area, sized according to the influent to be treated, which has forests installed and is irrigated with wastewater. The residual water partially evaporates and the rest is taken up by the roots of trees and filtered through the soil. Before application to the soil, it is desirable to introduce a primary treatment system, to remove coarse solids, sand, grease and solids. But these systems provide more than just simple purification, because while treating the water, we are also producing biomass with high economic value. Unlike conventional waste water treatment systems, no external energy input is needed, so the running and maintenance costs are greatly reduced. Furthermore, it is a robust technology and the operation is simple. This technology is therefore ideal for treatment of urban waste water from small towns, with strong flow oscillations.

LapC-FORCE: Surgical device to improve laparotomy closure for incisional hernia preventionA multidisciplinary team involving doctors and engineers developed a medical device to cover the surgeons’ need at the moment of closing a laparotomy. With real-time information on force and distance, surgeons may decide the most appropriate closure technique and materials to be used for each single patient for reducing the laparotomy’s closing force and therefore, to prevent incisional hernias. We currently have a prototype medical device that measures the closing force between edges in a laparotomy. It was designed and tested in non-regulatory preclinical trials using pigs. We are looking for an industrial partner with expertise in the sector of medical devices willing to add in its product pipeline a new surgery device to assist surgeons during a laparotomy. The type of partner sought is mainly for regulatory development and commercialization under a technology license agreement.

Laser technique for the evaluation of erosion resistance of insulating materialsDry band arcing is a phenomenon encountered due to the prolonged exposure of high voltage insulation to wet/polluted environment and it is the principal factor that is responsible for degrading the insulating materials by tracking and erosion. Predicting the lifetime of insulators is therefore important to engineers, and also to the manufacturers of insulating materials. The conventional ASTM D2303 is an inclined plane test method usually used for evaluating the tracking and erosion resistance of materials by subjecting the materials to a combination of contaminant and voltage. The combination of voltage and contaminant flow-rate leads to continuous occurrence of dry band arcing over the surface of samples, thus simulating the conditions of degradation due to dry band arcing in the field, but in an accelerated way. The test involves a series of steps, including sample preparation, contaminant solution preparation, and monitoring the voltage and contaminant flow rate over a prolonged period of about four hours.

Lead-based perovskite solar cell device with a funcional element for lead immobilizationThe invention describes processes to limit the leakage of toxic lead compounds in the event of structural damage or fire in Perovskite Solar Cells. Humidity, water or a fire allows the release of undesirable elements from the cell. The technology embodies the use of special additives that, in the presence of water, interact with the lead-based components of the cell to form less soluble and higher thermal stability compounds, limiting the probability to release toxic lead to the exterior. Another aspect of the disclosure is a second independent additive, made from an hydrophilic polymer, that expands and swallows the water blocking the eventual leak of toxic compounds. These two pathways can be used either together or independently.

LED driver circuit with threshold voltage compensationBackground The implementation of Thin-film Transistors (TFTs) in active-matrix liquid crystal and organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays has created a $100B flat-panel display market. For AMOLED, a simple 2-TFT pixel circuit does not operate with sufficient electrical stability to maintain a constant OLED drive current that results in poor pixel uniformity across the display. Various pixel circuits and driving schemes have been proposed to compensate for this electrical instability including current-programming, voltage-programming, optical-feedback, and external compensation. Current-programmed pixel circuits can compensate for the electrical instabilities but the programming speed is relatively slow. External driver and optical feedback compensation are complicated and expensive with limited resolution. Compensation circuits with two transistors in series with the light emitter require higher power operation for the same operating current, reducing the energy efficiency of the system.

Lightweight ceramic body armorA new hybrid ballistic armor system has been developed to address this next generation high-performance armor-piercing threat. The proprietary feature of this system is the addition of a formed metallic layer to the typical ceramic and composite layers normally used in conventional body armor. The metallic layer serves to reinforce the ceramic, provide an impedance match against the ceramic backface, increase the confinement of the pulverized projectile/ceramic debris, and better distribute resultant forces over the composite backing layer.

LIH383: Novel Modulator Of The Opioid System Regulator ACKR3LIH383 is a novel highly potent and specific negative modulator of ACKR3, developed by Dr Andy Chevigné, Head of Immunopharmacology and Interactomics, and Dr Martyna Szpakowska. It is an octapeptide (short chain of eight amino acids) with high selectivity and subnanomolar affinity for ACKR3. It was engineered by introducing a series of mutations to adrenorphin. Compared with other natural opioid ligands, its sequence (FGGFMRRK) confers it maximum specificity and affinity for ACKR3 and minimum selectivity and affinity for other opioid receptors. LIH383 therefore binds to and blocks ACKR3, thereby modulating the availability of opioid peptides that can bind to classical opioid receptors in the brain and potentiating their natural painkilling and antidepressant properties. LIH383 is therefore a positive regulator of the opioid system. In a nutshell, LIH383 presents the following advantages: > Subnanomolar potency > High selectivity for ACKR3 > Short chain (8 amino acids) > Easy to synthesise/customise

LipidPro - Fluorescent dye for detection of lipid aggregates in living cells and other samplesFamily of dyes to be used in fluorescence microscopy imaging of cells in culture or entire organisms, including live cell imaging. The fluorophores are not toxic, and preferentially bind to lipid aggregates, such as intracellular lipid droplets. They also light up cells by binding weakly to several subcellular structures. Importantly, the fluorophores change color with the polarity of the environment and may be used to initially characterize alterations in organelle polarity. The most promising fluorophore, LipidPro, has been tested in fibroblast-based High Throughput Screens for the diagnosis of Faber’s disease.

Liquid biopsy for early detection of cancer or precision medicineScientists at EMBL-EBI, CNIC and CSIC have discovered a new type of telomere fusion that is not present in blood from healthy donors but can be detected well in the blood of cancer patients. They developed computational tools for the reliable identification of these fusions. Additionally, predictive models have been established that allow for the detection of the presence of a tumour using sequencing data from a blood sample. We hereby present an approach for a highly specific, minimally invasive and early detection of cancer. The sensitivity and false positive rate are comparable to recent liquid biopsy analysis methods. The performance of the tools is comparable across cancer stages. The tool has been validated using close to 10,000 whole genome sequencing datasets.

Liquid-liquid encapsulation systemBackground Encapsulation is very important in a wide range of industry applications including pharma, agriculture and food processing as it protects the core material and safeguards it from an aggressive environment and/or enables timely release of the cargo material to a targeted area. Conventionally, such protection has been achieved either by creating a thin coating layer of Polymers/Nano-particles/ surfactants/ powders around the core material or by wrapping it in a thin bendable solid polymer sheet. However, in addition to their high cost and intrinsic complexity, existing methods have limitations such as reduced cargo volumes, encapsulating layer(s) thickness control and encapsulating layer(s) functional properties which limits their applicability in pharmaceutical and food processing industry due to lack of precise (quality) control and operational flexibility.
