Flintbox Technologies: May
May 8, 2008 by Lindsay
Flintbox Technologies is a snapshot of some of the most recent out-licensing and in-licensing opportunities available on our site.
Out-Licensing Opportunities
CO2 Emission Monitoring Technology for Carbon Capture and Ecological Observatories
St. Francis Xavier University - May 6, 2008
Our technology consists of a probe to determine CO2 emission from soils. It is suitable for unattended deployments where it monitors CO2 emissions continuously, and with high reliability. This technology would represent a critical subcomponent of a larger Capbon Capture technology package, as it would verify storage integrity and mitigate serious potential health and safety concerns. The technology is also suitable for other observatory-style deployments where continuous and high-reliability CO2 monitoring is required.

New Specific Fluorescent Labelling Method
Université de Montréal - April 24, 2008
The technology consists of novel compounds containing two maleimide groups attached via a tether to a fluorescent core, whose latent fluorescence is quenched until their maleimide groups undergo a specific thiol addition reaction. Complementary proteins are designed bearing two cysteine residues appropriately positioned to react with our novel fluorogens.

Uniquely Foldable Electric Scooter with Safer and Smoother Steering Technology
Lakehead University - April 23, 2008
With increasing fuel costs and environmental concerns, it is increasingly desirable to look for alternative means of personal transportation. An electric scooter can provide a practical solution that meets the needs of urban commuters, university students and children at play.

Synthesis of Thin Film Vanadium Oxide (VO2)
University of Western Ontario - April 23, 2008
This project involves refining a synthesis of thin films of solid state Vanadium Oxide (VO2) using sol-gel methods. By precisely controlling the processing conditions, (baking temperature, ambient gas in the oven, baking time, solvent etc.), VO2 films can be synthesized that are highly resistant to oxidation. Current published methods produce sol-gel precursor solutions that readily oxidize in air and lead to the formation of other, less-desirable, vanadium oxide phases. This synthesis produces sol-gel precursor solutions that are resistant to oxidation for months instead of hours.

Multimedia CD-ROM: Extra and Intra Oral Examination
Université Laval - April 14, 2008
The dentist is at the forefront of the health care system to detect a whole spectrum of disorders and diseases affecting the face and the oral cavity whether they are from local or systemic origin. Good patient care starts with a meticulous clinical examination. This multimedia resource shows how to perform an extra and intra oral examination aiming at recognizing abnormalities as they may be uncovered during a patient’s evaluation
