In Singapore, at least 30 tonnes of okara are generated daily and discarded as food waste or recycled as an animal feed.  Despite its richness in nutrients, the reuse of okara as human food is limited due to high amount of indigestible fibre and low palatability.  The team has developed a cost-effective enzymatic and fermentaion techniques to transform okara as a functional ingredient for applying into food innovations.

This technology offer is by a team with expertise in the development of solutions for measuring physiological and cognitive states. The team offers and develops software modules for measuring several physiological and cognitive states such as drowsiness, distraction, stress, cognitive load, and mind wandering. Monitoring of physiological and cognitive states enables a better understanding of human performances and errors.

This technology offer is a predictive diagnostic technology based on sound, for the early detection of machines which are going to break down. By analysing the sounds produced by machines in their routine operations, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are able to determine if these machines are functioning properly, or if they are on the verge of breaking down.

Previous Intellectual Property (IP) management system are centralized in nature and involved the storing of the entire IP asset in its database for subsequent matching and verification when a matching IP is presented. Such centralized databases require huge and ever-increasing storage requirements.  For example, an IP that is 1 Petabyte in file size will require a large centralized database to accommodate.  Further, such IP management systems are exposed to being easily compromised.  A hacker of the IP management system could modify the IP database to insert additional IP Asset, thereby compromising the validity of the IP management system.  There is therefore a need for a method and system for addressing the foregoing problems, which they are using Blockchain to address. Blockchain is one of Bitcoin’s key innovation where it is a publicly available structured database containing all the Bitcoin transactions. Each block within the blockchain includes a digital digest of a transaction as well as the digital digest of the previous block. Any modification of the blockchain can be easily detected due to the change in its digest when computed at a later stage. It is widely believed that the blockchain technology will revolutionized the finance industry.

Our technology features a three state optical modulation between transparent, color and mirror appearance of a given surface, primarily on glass substrates. The switching between the three states can be triggered by a small voltage application. The versatile electrochromic device allows user to enjoy outdoor view in transparent state, blocking of sunlight in colored state and reflective finish in mirror state. It can offer additional light management capability compared to the solid state electrochromics. This technology is promising for the optical modulation of building façade and fenestration, in reducing energy consumption for in-door air conditioning, creating interactive visual displays on glass or façade decoration for interior designers to create space and light interaction.
