Adhesions are fibrous bands that form between tissues and organs that are not normally connected. Up to 93% of patients develop adhesions following a laparotomy procedure. Current solutions in the market include pharmacological treatment such as antibiotics to prevent infection; anticoagulants; and fibrinolytic agents, and physical solutions such as adhesion barriers. Adhesion barriers should achieve effective tissue separation, remain biologically active in the presence of blood and during the wound healing period, and can be absorbed without bringing about proinflammatory tissue response. However, current solutions are not able to fully reduce or prevent adhesions and existing barrier films have reported adverse events. This technology offer from a Singapore startup is for a proprietary anti-fibrinolytic and anti-inflammatory plant-derived biopolymer postoperative adhesion barrier as spray-on-gel or hydrogel film.

The major hurdle in modern building is the multiple systems which do not share data, usually due to systems originating from different vendors. However, through a unified platform, the data in these systems can be used to improve the operation, comfort and sustainability, making the building smarter in enhancing asset and resource productivity.  The technology leverages on Subject Matter Experts’ experience and Machine Learning to deliver self-learning solutions to reduce carbon footprints and enhance productivity. The technology is intended to optimize energy usage without compromising comfort, remove human error and take over mundane human efforts, and channel human touch points to more strategic roles. Deployment of the technology can be facilitated with minimum to no new hardware, in shorter duration. The lower charges of the technology as compared to traditional tools, lead to operational rather than capital expense. 

This technology is hardware and software-based, inclusive of smart temperature tag technology and a digital platform for monitoring and tracking purposes. This invention is intended to provide 360o protection for cold chain safety, allowing for activities such as tracking and monitoring of goods. The company is on the look out for potential tech / industry partners for proof-of-concept testing, or integration of their hard/soft ware technologies into an organisation's existing infrastructure.

The invention provides a cost effective injection mouldable plastic heat sink that displays excellent thermal conductivity, mechanical strength and electrical resistance in order for it to be applicable for a wide range of uses particularly as a heat sink in the growing electronic and other manufacturing industries. The heat sink is made of a common cheap polymer which is used in manufacturing industries for a variety of products and hence there is no particular requirement for new equipment or tools to fabricate. The developed heat sink can be fabricated into custom designed products of varying size and shape. The heat sink is light in weight and provides mechanical support to the electronic component and/or devices with tunable thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. The product is available for licensing. 

This technology is addressing an industry focused need in the water, wastewater and desalination treatment space. The company's technology developed through 6 years of research and development provides an innovative cloud-based platform for optimisation of water treatment activities. The technology is available as software-as-a-service (SaaS). The cloud-based platform is capable of ingesting and aggregating data flows across a treatment facility to provide real-time, proactive operating instructions to minimize energy and chemical consumption, increase equipment life, and mitigate plant downtime. The technology platform is plant-agnostic and uses available infrastructure and sensors, process models (digital twinning) and proprietary hybrid algorithms (combination of physics-based and machine learning techniques) to optimize plant processes across the entire facility rather than just one-unit process.

The current business dynamics have made accurate forecasts a key challenge for many companies. Predicting the market accurately is identified as a prevalent best practice to streamline critical planning processes and to achieve sales and profit growth. In order not to miss an opportunity to capture the market demand, companies need frequently reasoned and reliable forecasting results. Forecasting with only spreadsheets can no longer afford the time and manpower to meet the increasing pace of business. A smart, handy and versatile forecasting system is in urgent need for companies (including suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers) willing to manage their business more efficiently. This technology offer presents an Intelligent Forecasting System that is based on Optimal Forecast Technology. The system supports companies in predicting sales, optimizing inventory, increasing cash flow, maximizing return on investment, planning marketing strategy through better visibility.

Computer Generated Holography (CGH) is a next-generation display technology delivering the immersive experience that consumers have always wanted: the ability to cast truly three-dimensional content seamlessly into the world around us. CGH is a complete rethink of how augmented reality (AR) and 3D displays work, removing barriers to mass consumer adoption. CGH displays provide a vastly superior level of realism in AR devices, while eliminating eye-fatigue and nausea associated with current AR or virtual reality (VR), and 3D products. CGH is the pinnacle of display, delivering on the promise of immersive consumer electronics. CGH can be applied to almost any display application. The immediate target applications include AR wearables (smart glasses and headsets), and automotive head-up displays (HUD).

This technology offer presents a deep learning-enabled smart mat, which is based on the triboelectric mechanism. This deep learning-enabled smart mat is achieved through the integration of a minimal-electrode-output triboelectric floor mat array with advanced deep learning (DL)-based data analytics. By walking/stepping over the smart mat, the unique fingerprint-like output signal can be captured by the electrode array. With the integrated deep learning-based data analytics, identity information associated with walking gait patterns can be extracted from the output signals using the convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The smart mat can be applied in automation control, such as lighting and air conditioning and fall detection. The smart mat can also be adopted for activity monitoring (e.g., walking, running, exercising) and potential energy harvesting from our daily activities.

Diabetes and asthma are common chronic diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report, it was estimated that 420 million people had diabetes and more than 339 million people suffer from asthma globally in 2016. It is estimated that in 2012, 24 million and 1.5 million people died of complications caused by diabetes and asthma respectively. Currently, there is no permanent cure for diabetes and asthma, patients can only take drugs to prevent the onset of disease and relieve the pain temporarily. However, diabetes and asthma drugs will be quickly metabolized by the human body and the therapeutic effect of active pharmaceutical ingredients can only last for a short period. Also, the patients may need to take a higher dosage of the drug to offset the loss of pharmaceutical ingredients before they reach the target site on the body. We have developed a new protective layer manufacturing technology with high encapsulation efficiency, which allows the control of the release and delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients. It can prolong the therapeutic effect of drugs, increase the drug retention time in the body, and eventually reduce the dosage, systemic side effects and toxicity of the drugs.
