Extraction of Gold from Electronic Waste and OresA method for selective extraction of gold has been developed at the Weizmann Institute. This method allows the efficient and environmentally benign recovery of gold that is currently discarded of in large quantities from electronic waste from household appliances, consumer electronic devices and industrial equipment. Prof. Igor Lubomirsky’s novel process is based on volatilization for selective extraction of gold using benign metal salts, rather than dangerous chlorine gas as a chlorinating agent or hazardous and polluting acid mixtures. The new process requires low temperatures and is free from hazardous waste, among its additional advantages over conventional methods. We believe that this efficient technology is key to increased reclaimed gold, potentially resulting in the reduction of the demand for primary gold.

Fast and non-sequential measurement method for the light response of chlorophyll a fluorescenceNew method for the measurement of the in vivo emission of chlorophyll a fluorescence by photosynthetic organisms, through the generation of light-response curves with independent observations, measured in a non-sequential and much faster way than the existing methods. The method combines the (i) projection in the sample of spatially separated light beams of different intensity or quality, using a digitally-controlled projector, with (ii) the measurement of the emitted fluorescence as a response to each light beam using an image fluorometer.

Fast detection of microorganisms using microcalorimetryAs a result of the joint efforts of the University of Vigo and the Galician Public Health Service (SERGAS), a reliable method and apparatus for the fast detection and identification of microorganisms in clinical samples utilizing microcalorimetry has been developed. The new procedure involves the comparison of different parameters of a sample thermogram with a database from which the identification and quantification can be inferred. As a key part of the invention a novel mathematical treatment has been developed. This method has been implemented for the analysis of bacteria in several types of human tissues and the assessment was performed at the main hospitals in Vigo. Innovative aspects and advantages This invention significantly shortens detection times, compared with the technologies used nowadays. A full assay can be run in 24 to 48 hours, allowing a selective antimicrobial treatment for infections with a short delay compared to the current techniques. Robust and easy to handle technique. Commercial applications and potential users Clinical assays has been performed in a prototype apparatus.

Fast quality characterization method for Lithium ion cellsThe life of lithium ion batteries is strongly conditioned by the degradation of the “Solid Electrolyte Interphase” or SEI, a passive layer that covers the surface of the negative electrode and is formed by degradation of the electrolyte, the decomposition products of which are deposited on the electrode. Over time or after many charge and discharge cycles, SEI tends to detach from the electrode. When this happens, the electrolyte is exposed to the negative electrode and breaks down again, progressively decreasing the amount of Lithium available in the electrolyte and therefore reducing the life of the battery. To ensure that batteries have a good quality SEI, specific measures are required to assess the quality of the SEI newly formed in the manufacturing process or after a certain period of storage or use. The invention consists on a new practical methodology to diagnose the presence of failures or micro cracks on the SEI surface.

Fetal Activity Monitor - A system of sensors placed under the mattress of the pregnant women which monitors fetal activitySubjective monitoring of fetal movement activity of pregnant woman is a simple and effective method to verify physiological condition of the fetus. Mother perceives the characteristics and frequency of fetal activity during the day throughout second half of pregnancy and is able to identify when fetal activity is present. By the time mother realizes that she no longer feels fetal activity and visits the doctor, it is usually too late and the fetus is dead (4 deaths per 1000 children born per year in Czech Republic). Despite comprehensive prenatal care for pregnant women, this number has not been reversed in the last 20 years. The aim of fetal movement activity monitors is to provide monitoring of the fetal movement activity (during the sleep and in case of certain doubts during the day) so that the pregnant woman visits the doctor in time when suspects changes in the natural characteristics of the movements in order to prevent fetal death. Fetal movement activity monitor seems to be a better option to monitor fetal health than fetal heartbeat monitors because whenever fetus doesn’t feel well, it reduces its movement activity first while heart activity is still present or might not even be changed. A system of sensors placed under the mattress of the pregnant women was developed. The system is based on measurement of human body recoil movements generated by heart contraction and pulse wave propagation through cardiovascular system. The data obtained from the sensors were compared with the actograms of pregnant women (fetal movement activity records) obtained by the CTG (cardiotocography). The use of standard actogram is limited by the need for active involvement of the pregnant woman in the process of monitoring the physical activity of the fetus. This proposed system will make it possible to monitor the physical activity of the fetus continuously, without the need for active involvement of the pregnant woman and regardless of whether the pregnant woman is asleep or awake. Information about pulse arrival time is extracted after the preprocessing (small body movements and small changes in sensor position are omitted). Then time series of differences between pulse arrival times are prepared. Those time series are analyzed using multiple different methods such as spectral characteristics of time differences and/or convolutional neural networks. The graph shows a comparison of the output from the actogram (black curve indicating fetal movement activity) with calculated fetal movement activity detected by the sensors in the pad. From calculated activity is then possible to determine a threshold value above which the fetal movement activity is considered relevant. Further development would consist in optimizing the parameters of the algorithm to determine present movement activity in order to improve basic characteristics of the method, sensitivity, resp. specificity, which is now 80%, resp. 60%.

Fluorescent compound for security inks with higher protection levelFluorescent compound for security inks with higher protection level CSIC has developed an organic fluorescent compound whose emission frequency varies as a function of external stimuli such as pressure and temperature. Therefore, this compound provides a double mechanism of use. The first mechanism consists in the ability of this material to show different colors depending on the angle of incidence of the light. The second mechanism occurs as the temperature increases producing a color change in the material that can be observed under ultraviolet light. Industrial partners, manufacturers of inks, interested into a patent licence agreement for development of different applications for the banking, pharmaceutical and textile sectors are being sought.

Fluorescent compounds, methods of manufacturing and uses thereofA group of researchers from a Portuguese university developed a family of new fluorophores to be used in biological imaging, either in cells or in entire organisms, in fluorescence microscopy techniques, including live cell imaging. The fluorophores are not toxic to cells and organisms, and light up cells by binding to organelles such as the Golgi apparatus, nucleus, and particularly lipid droplets. Importantly, the fluorophores change color with the polarity of the environment. The university is looking for companies that would be interested in developing this technology further through partnership, or in commercializing the probes through licensing or acquisition of the patent.
