ModuLys – modular toolkit for customize optical setups ModuLys is an affordable, yet advanced and modular toolkit for the construction of custom optical setups made of multi-purpose standardized units, with strong focus on ease of use. The unit concept, together with a unique lattice-based mounting solution reduces the complexity of individual setups, while maximizing flexibility and re-usability of components in a plethora of possible scenarios. Core of the proposed device is the alignment-free placement of optical components, e.g., light sources, lenses, filters, mirrors, and combined assemblies of the former on a two dimensional mounting platform (breadboard). Optical components are mounted into cubic units that can be positioned at pre-defined locations on the breadboard in a square-lattice arrangement. Complementary shapes on cubic units and breadboard allow for a tight fit of both, alleviating the need for component alignment.

Optical communication receiver with an SQRT nonlinear equalizer In a high bit rate optical transmission, the inclusion of a simple non-linear equalizer implementing the square-root mathematical function, just after the photo-detector and before the conventional electronic equalizer (FIR, MLSE, analog,..), linearizes the overall systems and highly improves the transmission performances.

Breakthrough UAV-mobile system for geophysical research of solid mineral deposits NSU developed a UAV-mobile system for geophysical research of solid mineral deposits. It uses a high-frequency and highly sensitive vector magnetometer, gamma-spectrometer, gas analyzer, as well as special software for data processing, which creates a high-precision description of the depth of occurrence and morphology of the ore body, archaeological artifact or other magnetic anomaly with the size of up to tens of centimeters and less. Due to this, the costs of exploration are significantly, often more than 10 times lower than using conventional methods.

Fabrication of tips for scanning probe microscopy with enhanced resolution CSIC has developed tips for scanning probe microscopy (SPM) where an isolated nanoparticle is placed at the apex of the tip. The method allows to tailor the shape, size and composition of the nanoparticle improving the measuring capabilities of the tips. These novel tips are suitable for techniques that combine imaging, such as SPM and spectroscopy like tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). Industrial partners manufacturers of laboratory equipment are being sought to collaborate through a patent license agreement. An offer for Patent Licensing

LipidPro - Fluorescent dye for detection of lipid aggregates in living cells and other samples Family 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.

Biometric identification system based on eye blinking The Optics and Vision Sciences research group at the University of Alicante has developed a method for biometric authentication by recognizing the blinking of a subject. The method consists of studying and characterizing the changes in the intensity of diffused light during the blinking process. Those changes are used to classify the blinks using different algorithms. A subject can then be identified according to the parameters recorded. This method allows the authentication of subjects by means of a non-contact procedure, and even unconsciously. Commercial or built-in on mobile devices video cameras or webcams can be used for its application provided that the video is recorded at rates higher than 150 frames per second (fps). We are looking for companies interested in the commercial exploitation of this technology as well as in adapting it for the development of related projects.
