Seeking natural colors for foods and beverages |
| |
PepsiCo is evaluating different natural color ingredients and technologies to replace Yellow #5, Yellow #6, Red #40, and Blue #1 for multiple food and beverage brands in order to address consumer demand. Specific challenges are in the Red #40 (food) and Blue #1 (food & beverage) replacers. |

Seeking to Reduce Contamination in Production Lines (Converting Machines) |
| |
We are seeking to reduce contamination in our production lines (converting machines). The specific machines use diverse web materials (mainly non-woven based) to produce our products. The materials come to our machines in a planetary roll form. Those rolls would be unwound and conveyed through the converting processes (combining, cutting…) to form final products. Within this process, the web materials release different sources of contamination (e.g. dust &/or fibers) causing accumulation of contamination in all places of the machine where it can settle. With the late changes of materials, we have seen a substantial increase in contamination. As a result, we need to move cleaning times from 8 hour intervals (10 minute cleaning with 2 operators) to less than 6 hour intervals (>15min cleaning with 4 people). In order to maintain operability standards and productivity, we are seeking methods to return to 8 hour cleaning intervals. |
R-ELLA Rehabilitation Pad - Unique rehabilitation device that helps patients exercise on the bed |
| |
Rehabilitation pad is an unique device that is intended for use on the patients’ bed during their hospital stay for active exercise of the lower limbs, abdominal and back muscles in order to maintain/improve physical condition and prevent complications from long-term hospitalization. It enables independent exercise without constant nursing staff assistance and the need for professional settings. The pad is also intended for home use. It has not been certified as a medical device yet. Intended use The rehabilitation pad is mainly intended for: • adults and adolescents from 12 years of age, with a minimum body height of 120cm, who are confined to bed for a longer period of time, and their health condition allows exercising • seniors, who have been confined to bed for a long period of time and need to strengthen the lower half of the body and rehabilitate walking • patients after acute illness that are being rehabilitated in home care Rehabilitation pad enables: • to exercise the lower limbs as soon as possible after recovering from critical condition • development of muscle strength of lower limbs, abdominal and back muscles • independent exercising and improving fitness that leads to earlier recovery Features / Benefits RELLA - unique rehabilitation pad enables patients that are confined to bed for a longer period simple exercising and rehabilitation leading to faster recovery, thus shortening the time of being confined to the bed and restoring physical condition leading to a faster return to the original quality of life. Main advantages • minimal supervision of other person needed • simple exercise of the lower limbs, abdomen and back • possibility to exercise the limbs alternately or both at the same time • sliding plates can be locked to ensure safe manipulation with the pad • the possibility of exercising with bandaged limbs • the pad can be used on any type of bed • easy manipulation (light weight) Dimensions The rehabilitation pad consists of a light aluminum structure measuring 820 x 630 x 50 mm, on which two plates measuring 250 x 258 mm are placed. The fastening belt is made of polyester. Use The pad is placed directly on the bed. To secure it against movement, it is attached to the bed by tightening the fixation belt. Patient lies on the bed in a supine position and the heels are placed on the sliding parts of the rehabilitation pad while the lower limbs are stretched. Movable plates enable exercise of the lower limbs by horizontal movement. During the flexion of the limbs at the hip and knee joint, it moves the feet towards the buttocks. During straightening in the hip and knee joint, it pushes the feet away from the buttocks. During these movements, the muscles of the lower limbs are strengthened (especially the thigh and calf muscles). At the same time, the abdominal muscles and the stabilizing muscles of the back are exercised. The plates move independently of each other, it is also possible to lock them and connect them together and thus perform exercises with both legs at the same time. The boards have a synthetic rubber top that ensures a non-slip surface. The exercise methodology is not structured in any way, and the procedure and frequency (exercise length) generally depends on the specific condition of the patient.

A seminatural ingredient drug for triglcyeride lowering |
| |
A drug combination of 3 USA Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS), seminatural ingredients is proposed for lowering plasma triglyceride (TG) readings (US and international patents pending). The ingredients are diet components, but have laboratory generated aspects. Some human and animal data exists for TG lowering of each ingredient, but the combination has not been tested. Compared to existing drugs, the newly proposed formula is relatively safe, cost effective, with a low pill burden. The envisioned product could be used alone and added to existing therapies. |
High-definition respiratory monitoring tool - Bainisha's Twin Chest System |
| |
Current technology Current systems for measuring/monitoring respiratory movements (such as Thorax displacement) @ medical level, rely on one single technology: Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) aka "accelerometry". The resulting data of such measurements however are very often inadequate & hard or impossible to interpret. Problem E.g. the raw IMU-data output of coughing may look exactly the same as the raw IMU-data of riding a bike on really bumpy road ! When such type of confusion arises, it is impossible to distinguish between very different events. Solution A second sensor technology is added: a very thin, ultra-stretchable, very accurate displacement sensor. This sensor is fixed to the body as a simple self-adhesive patch. The fixation is of such a high quality and "integrates" with the skin so thoroughly, that it is nick-named a "Second Skin"-sensor. Together with the on-board IMU the "Second Skin" sensor forms a Sensor Fusion System. I.e. by cross-linking the raw data of two very different sensor concepts all uncertainties, "grey"-zones and impossible to interpret situations are eliminated. The sensor-fusion concept also widens and multiplies the capabilities for capturing a multitude of different types of "body language/events" |
