Biodegradable "Fiberglass" for Packing IndustryConventional plastics are materials with attractive properties but with low recyclability. They also persist in the environment. Furthermore, the plastic waste decomposes into microplastic, which pollutes the soil, the sea, and the air. Therefore new regulations restrict its use. The existing biodegradable materials suffer from inferior mechanical properties (such as starch) or low degradability that needs to be enhanced (e.g., PLA). Prof. Rybtchinski and his group designed a biodegradable "fiberglass" composed of Nano-crystalline fibers and a biodegradable polymer. Both components are highly biodegradable, and the resulting composite material has properties akin to or better than known packaging plastics (which constitute 39% of all produced plastics).

Biodegradable partitioned tray made of waste paperThe biodegradable partitioned tray is an innovative and new product made of waste paper. A disposable product which can be used again as a raw material in the same production line. The construction of the body of packaging is of a small overall size and light but consistent enough to provide adequate resistance to mechanical impact, various pressure occurring in transport with sufficient flexibility enabling easy handling when placing on shelves or other places for sale. The essence of the invention is that the biodegradable partitioned tray fully accomplishes the important purpose of producing a cheap product with basic environmental characteristics, which at the same time at lower price has much better mechanical and chemical properties that the paper and plastic packaging (resistance to various mechanical impacts, flexibility, temperature resistance, pressure, more hygienic because it does not produce tiny dust particles that contaminate products in the food industry, etc.) The problem it is trying to solve is to avoid hygienic and sanitary issue (no tiny dust particles are formed during use which contaminate the dairy products on the filling line), avoid deforestation. The main users of the biodegradable tray is food industry (dairies, juice production, fruit production)

Biofilm Repelling Catheter technology -Company looking for partnersInnoventions a privately owned medical device incubator in Israel is developing several technologies (www.innoventions-med.com). One of these is a novel biofilm repelling technology. This was used for creating a urethral catheter for reducing (hopefully for preventing) Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) which cause 13,000 deaths in the USA each year. Their preliminary work showed that using their material (known/ approved biomaterial) , they could prevent biofilm forming on balloons immersed in infected urine and also on balloons inserted into the bladder of non-infected patients (up to 3 months). They are interested to further develop the devices with partners based on this technology for catheter and other medical applications (also in non-medical applications such as on surfaces of open water reservoirs, water based liquid carrying pipes, water heaters etc.) and bring them to the market.

Biogas dryer. For biogas water vapor removingBiolimp-Dryer. This technology combines the cooling and condensation techniques, allowing to achieve elimination efficiency of over 95% with low operating costs (OPEX). This equipment has two kinds of cooling techniques: thermal cooling and mechanical cooling and other devices that improve the water vapor removal. This can include a heat recovery, which in addition to minimizing the energy needs of the operation, allows to wash off the biogas with its own condensates, which produces a partial reduction of the H2S and NH3, that accompany the biogas, the reason why it can be considered a multipurpose technology. The vertical position of the heat exchanger allows the best draining of the condensate and avoids condensate freezing when working at low temperatures. The technology is fully automatization

Biologic Drug for prevention and treatment of COVID-19Combat against COVID-19 is still ongoing worldwide. Despite the great advancements in the realm of vaccine development, there is still a great need for efficient medications to treat the disease, especially in vulnerable populations (such as elderly people and subjects with background illnesses). A common strategy in drug development against COVID?19 is inhibiting the binding of the viral Spike protein to the cellular ACE2 receptor, which facilitates the virus's entrance to the cells. While many attempts focus on blocking the viral Spike protein, this strategy is sensitive to viral mutations, making it less efficient. The teams of Profs. Schreiber and Rudich developed a stable protein that binds the ACE2 receptor at ultra?high affinity (pM), effectively blocking viral infection without affecting the natural activity of the receptor. The protein can be administered through inhalation and can be combined with other potential anti-COVID-19 drugs such as interferon-?.

Biological control of pests: breeding protocol for Sphaerophoria rueppellii for use in biological control of aphidsMembers of CIBIO Research Institute, led by Professor Maria Angeles Marcos Garcia, head of the Associated Unit to CSIC, have developed a method to raise the dipterans predator Sphaerophoria rueppellii. This insect is known for its efficiency and high specificity predatory sirphid being more suitable as biological control agent against agricultural pests from aphids in a Mediterranean climate crops. The use of this natural enemy for biological control of pests will reduce pesticide use in both agricultural crops and in urban gardens. Have been optimized environmental conditions for breeding, such as diet (both immature and adult stages) to ensure a higher reproductive potential and higher rates of survival. The group is looking for companies interested in acquiring the technology for commercial exploitation. Innovative aspects 1- The only species of industrially produced sirphid (Episyphus balteatus) does not effectively control aphid pests in Mediterranean cultures, this is why the selection of another species of sirphid to act as a viable alternative in the field Mediterranean was needed. The novelty of this specie is that and in most cases of biological control, using species that are commercially available, or not part of the fauna, in this case, we have managed to breed the species in field trials, proved to have the greatest potential for control. 2- This is the first time that this predator specie is bred in the laboratory and maintain continuously during successive generations breeding in significant amounts from individuals. 3- Due to the invention has been developed by a consolidated research group, it will be applied a Quality Control (under the rules of the International Organisation for Biological and Integrated Control), to ensure the viability and product quality

Biomarkers for the early detection of subclinical atherosclerosisOne of the main problems of atherosclerosis disease is that it is diagnosed too late. Primary prevention is currently based on the evaluation of modifiable risk factors according to standardized recommendations. There is a need to find new biomarkers for subclinical atherosclerosis, which are independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and scores. CNIC, UAM and IIS-FJD researchers have discovered a panel of proteins, which are accumulated in the atheroma plaques themselves even in their earliest stages of formation. Moreover, the plasma abundance levels of these proteins could be used to predict the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis. Diagnosis/biotech companies are sought for a license agreement.

Biometric identification system based on eye blinkingThe Optics and Vision Sciences research group at the University of Alicante has developed a method for biometric authentication by recognizing the blinking of a subject. The method consists of studying and characterizing the changes in the intensity of diffused light during the blinking process. Those changes are used to classify the blinks using different algorithms. A subject can then be identified according to the parameters recorded. This method allows the authentication of subjects by means of a non-contact procedure, and even unconsciously. Commercial or built-in on mobile devices video cameras or webcams can be used for its application provided that the video is recorded at rates higher than 150 frames per second (fps). We are looking for companies interested in the commercial exploitation of this technology as well as in adapting it for the development of related projects.
