 | Seeking Rapid Substance Detection in Inspection and Supply Chain |
|
Procter & Gamble is a global leader in innovation, products and services for consumer goods in categories like Beauty (Hair and Skin Care), Fabric & Home Care, Baby Care, Oral Care, Health Care, Family Care, and Feminine Care. We focus on designing and manufacturing superior products, packages and experiences that are safe to consumers, the environment and supply chain partners. P&G undertakes significant efforts to analyze compositions of raw materials and finished products and packages from development to manufacturing through the supply chain. NEED DESCRIPTION For most substances we lack rapid, easy-to-use yet precise detection devices/ methods for inspections at P&G operations (e.g. material income, manufacturing control, cleaning of equipment) and at our supply chain partners that can be used by workers and do not require laboratory environment/ standards |
 | Seeking Technology for extraction/limiting absorption of oil/hydrophobic fluids |
|
New technologies/IP that identify new technologies for oil extraction or preventing absorption of lipids in a porous matrix e.g. potato chips. These technologies can be outside of the food industry such as pharmaceutical, petrochemical to enable oil/hydrophobic fluid removal/reduction. Key areas of focus: 1) Tech limits absorption of hydrophobic fluids (e.g. high temperature post frying to promote oil drainage) 2) Tech that extracts hydrophobic fluids (e.g. steam stripping, centrifuge, super-critical CO2 extraction, ultrasonic) 3) Tech that prevents creation of a porous matrix when exposed to thermal energy (e.g. (pre-treatments such as pulse electric field)) |
 | Seeking Fluid dynamic numerical simulation of a ballpoint pen writing system |
|
BIC is looking for advanced computer simulations that can accurately model how ink flows in a ballpoint pen during writing. The writing performance of a ballpoint pen depends on the interaction between the ink, the ball and ball socket, and the paper. Fluid dynamic numerical simulations could help determine quantitatively on the one hand the magnitude of certain key parameters such as the ink viscosity, surface roughness, shear rate, stress & strain distribution etc and on the other their influence on ink flow and consumption. The group has extensive empirical knowledge of the parameters affecting writing but has never used numerical simulations to further enhance it. A quantitative analysis of the influence of a system parameter on writing would help us pinpoint those that have to be adjusted to meet the expected product performance. |
 | DEVICE FOR SPERM SELECTION BY THERMOTAXIS |
|
This device for the selection of sperm with the best migratory capacity is based on the property of mammalian sperm (including humans) to migrate in a temperature gradient (thermotaxis) in order to select the only spermatozoa that can get to fertilize the oocyte in vivo. It overcomes all the significant disadvantages that current equipments have, allowing the separation of multiple samples into single, disposable units. In addition it can be manufactured on production lines and its use and the processing of samples is very easy, not requiring qualified personnel. |
 | SMART FRICTION PENDULUM SYSTEM |
|
A novel Friction Pendulum System (FPS) that improves on the recovery capability of current friction pendulum systems and increases energy dissipation capacity. |
 | Commercially viable, environmentally sustainable conversion of, virtually any, organic carbon waste into high quality renewable energy products matched to market demand.waste |
|
1] Eliminates the need for landfill disposal of organic carbon materials, that produce GHG methane, by converting them into renewable fuels that meet the market demand. 2] by recycling carbon that has been removed from the atmosphere, it creates a net zero carbon cycle. 3] with ~20% of the feedstock, by weight, being used as soil amendment and fertilizer, carbon is continually permanently sequestered from the atmosphere providing a net negative carbon loop. 3] The renewable fuels produced (synthetic diesel, renewable natural gas, high octane gasoline, electrical power, methanol, DEM, green coal, others) are a direct replacement for fossil fuels in virtually every fuel application. 4] Mixed with low quality soils, the carbon char quickly raises the soil quality and reduces the water demand in agricultural production of all types. 5] The process can be modified to produce raw chemical feedstock materials similar to those currently derived from petroleum. 6] The conversion facilities are closed loop and release near zero gases to the atmosphere. No toxic or hazardous chemicals are produced. |
