Noble metal-free ceria-based diesel soot combustion catalyst, suitable for gas purification in Diesel engine exhaustsThe developed catalyst does not use Pt, which leads to a cheaper product. The resulting catalyst shows equal or even better performance as Pt catalysts. Following the patented procedure of synthesis, the catalyst produced has a lower particle size. This leads to higher surface per particle and therefore, a better ratio yield when interacting in oxidation reactions, leading to a higher oxygen production rate.

Non-contact remote force measurement system for minimally invasive surgeries and cell manipulation applicationsBackground A number of minimally invasive surgical procedures rely on different types of catheters to deliver treatment to hard-to-reach human internal organs. Magnetic-based propulsion technologies have recently been used with such catheters to assist with high precision manipulation tasks in these surgeries. However; the precision and effectiveness of these surgeries relies to a great degree on providing visual feedback to the surgeon about the location of the catheter end-effector at all times. Surgeon’s experience thus plays an important role in interpreting the visual feedback and then applying the required force on the catheter to navigate the device or to engage in performing the actual surgical procedure. However, incorporating force-feedback capabilities into such magnetic-based surgical platforms would provide an excellent opportunity to improve the quality of surgical procedures.

Non-fluorinated water-repellent formulation for dry cleaningThe technology developed is based on the use of a new cellulose derivative (Long-chain Cellulose Ester - LCCE) as a totally eco-friendly non-fluorinated hydrophobic additive for dry-cleaning water repellency finishes in any type of textile composition: cotton, synthetic textiles and mixtures thereof. This new additive/formulation can be applied for repellent/water proofing finish on clothes by the simple and conventional dry-cleaning process. Additionally, there is no need to use of crosslinkers to anchor the additive to textiles, nor pre-treatments. Hydrophobic (repellent) textiles are thus obtained, with easy and self-cleaning properties, through a traditional dry-cleaning process totally fluorine free.

Non-invasive method for the diagnosis and screening of colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas in asymptomatic individualsThe invention relates to the development of an in vitro method for diagnosing colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas in asymptomatic individuals, by means of a test in a human biofluid, preferably serum. It consists in the joint quantification of sCD26 and NDKA proteins by specific immunoassays, and the percentage of methylation of the NEUROG1 gene by means of real-time PCR specific for methylation. The combination of the three markers by multivariate logistic regression will result in a calculated risk score for colorectal cancer or advanced adenomas, which is compared to an established cut-off point. If the test is positive, a confirmatory colonoscopy is recommended. On the contrary, if the result is negative, it is recommended to repeat the test in one year.

Non-lethal system for surveying and/or monitoring animals and in particular flying insectsThe invention aims to improve the taxonomic resolution of image-based determinations of individual insects or other small invertebrates by recording multiple-view images of single individuals. A small camera is connected to a micro-computer which is programmed to take high-resolution images of the reflections of an individual specimen (e.g. an insect) through a mirror system, showing different angles of view. The imaging device is connected to an entomological trap adapted to direct the intercepted or caught individual towards the entrance of the imaging device. The images are recorded as the individual insect or other small animal traverses the device, after which it escapes unharmed .

Non-Phosphorus Soy-Based Scale Inhibitor for Water Treatment Systems (e.g., oils wells)Airable Research Lab, in partnership with LFS Chemistry, has developed a non-phosphorous alternative to its soy-based scale-inhibiting additive. The scale inhibition industry has been historically dominated by phosphorous-based chemistries. Currently, overexploitation of phosphorous—along with a pandemic, geopolitical disputes, trade wars, and escalating fuel prices—has limited access to the element and driven up prices. In addition, phosphorus in our waterways lead to eutrophication, a serious form of water pollution. Airable’s renewable, phosphorous-free solution conserves and preserves our natural resources, with a scale inhibition efficiency of up to 90%.

Novel and simple procedure for dispersing graphene derivatives in chemically curable resins.The Laboratory of Adhesion and Adhesives of the University of Alicante and the company Dental Global Training, have developed a new procedure to incorporate efficiently graphene derivatives (nanofibers, nanosheets, nanoparticles) in chemically cured resins by using an in situ polymerization technique. The method is very simple and fast, it provides an excellent dispersion of the graphene derivatives in both the solid components of the resin and in the cured polymer matrix, and is entirely friendly with the environment. The novel method does not require the use of organic solvents nor water, ultrasounds, and high pressure/temperature. The resulting resin composites show excellent mechanical properties, good wear resistance, easy manipulation and increase the insolubility in oral fluids, and therefor they have special interest in applications in odontology, traumatology and non-medical applications too (automobile, construction, civil engineering, aeronautics, space engineering, electronics and optics). It is looking for companies interested in acquiring this technology for its commercial exploitation.

Novel biomass converter for smart agriculture with adaptation of the technology to the Southern Europe through Italian-Russian partnershipRussian engineering company has developed and patented a novel biomass converter for processing biomass and carbon containing wastes with generation of heat, energy carriers and fertilizers. The technology uses filtration combustion with superadiabatic heating and processing of materials in fluidized bed. The biomass converter can be used to process different carbon containing materials of natural and technological origin (e.g., wooden chips, wood processing wastes, agricultural wastes, textile production wastes, packaging, paper-making, cellulose, municipal wastes, etc.). The company field-tested the technology by processing very complex wastes such as poultry droppings (including wastes from broiler chickens raised in cage chicken houses), cattle manure, straw, wastes from seed oil production, wastes coal from refining. The biomass converter can produce heat, biocoal, and ash. This means that the companies using this technology can earn revenue from processing wastes, generating power stored in biocoal as well as from production of mineral fertilizers in the form of ash. There are different designs of a biomass converter depending on the type of wastes to be processed. The partnership may be developed within the project that in its own turn is dedicated to adaptation to the South European sources of biomass and streams of carbon containing wastes of an innovation equipment and method developed and patented by the Russian partner. The project will involve identification of biomass sources in the Southern Europe, primarily Italy by the conditions in which biomass is produced, by kinds of wastes, amounts of wastes, location of sources of wastes, location of consumers of biocoal and fertilizers and other factors. The project will result in a newly designed biomass converters each of which can be installed as nodes into a distributed network of alternative energy sources based on biomass. The equipment will have high potential for commercialization in Southern Europe and Russia. Pilot processing station will be built for demonstration and further commercialization in Italy.

Novel coaxial tunable bandpass filterBackground Tunable bandpass filter is one of the vital components of frequency reconfigurable (or frequency agile) wireless systems which facilitate effective utilization of allotted frequency spectrum. Frequency reconfigurable wireless systems can be a cost effective solution for wireless base-stations as well as for satellite & aero-space applications. In satellite application, on orbit flexible payload (or programmable payload) is one such encouraging development on the horizon. These systems inevitably require high Q (Quality factor) tunable bandpass filters with a constant absolute bandwidth over the tuning range. One of the important requirements for tunable filters in most applications is to maintain constant absolute bandwidth over the tuning range. The data rate is bandwidth dependent thus maintaining the same data rate over the tuning range requires maintaining the same bandwidth. In addition, most of communication system applications require maintaining certain isolation requirements outside the band, which cannot be satisfied if the bandwidth is changed. Thus, by maintaining a constant bandwidth over the tuning range, the achievable data rate and the filter isolation requirements remain the same over the entire tuning range, which is highly desirable.

Novel Combination Therapy For Improved Management of DepressionPsychiatric disorders, especially major depressive disorder (MDD), are leading causes of disability and premature death across the globe, with patients showing a heightened risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation. Prof. Alon Chen and his team found that the sustained antidepressant effects of Ketamine, an approved drug indicated for treatmentresistant depression, are mediated by the upregulation of the Kcnq2 gene. The team found that combination therapy comprised of Ketamine and retigabine, an approved KCNQ agonist, boosted the anti-depressive effects of Ketamine in mice. Therefore, the novel combination treatment of two approved drugs, Ketamine and retigabine, may improve current treatment protocols for psychiatric disorders, including depressive disorders MDD.
