Through the POC project, Clearbridge BioLoc aims to develop AssayQuest; a fully automated, cost-effective and portable assay platform system that can generate quantitative data from a blood prick sample. This will enable healthcare workers, clinicians and potentially even health care consumers to perform any immunoassay test with consistency and ease. This patent-pending roller-blister, microfluidic-based assay platform is able to process assay test cards in an automated and programmable sequence. This combination of roller-pump and formatted blister-packed test card suits any industry standard assay. It will provide reliable and reproducible laboratory-quality results, while requiring minimal human intervention. The efficiency and effectiveness of performing such complex immunological tests at the point-of-care will allow clinicians to make timely and well-informed decisions in a time critical setting.

This immunoassay platform technology can potentially be the next generation Point-Of-Care-Testing (POCT) device that takes personalized healthcare beyond diabetes/glucose testing and expands the footprint of localised complex immunological testing. The innovative design and scalability of the test cards could make testing affordable in developing countries. The POC project has been exhibited at the TechVenture Singapore 2010 and is shortlisted by the World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer 2011. AssayQuest will also be showcased at the American Association of Clinical Chemistry in Atlanta, USA in July 2011.

LeapSky Wireless Pte Ltd has developed a personal mobile hotspot product and service (patent-pending) that allows customer access to mobile data globally in an easy and cost effective method.

Through this technology, Leapsky seeks to disrupt existing technologies used for international mobile broadband data access. It provides travellers an easy to use service and global internet access from their mobile devices. It has been scheduled to launch in Singapore in Q4 2011 and the company has secured further follow-on investment in Q2 2011.

Through the TECS POC, SnapTech Pte Ltd developed a patent image likeness search system where users can "search by example" using the rich visual content of the patent images. These images serve to illustrate the object being patented and specify the important critical claims made in the patents. In this way, patent searchers can quickly see what are claimed in the patents by simply looking at the images. This would be of great interest and help to users who are not proficient in patents searching, allowing fast filtering of the retrieved dataset. The new search platform can be integrated into a patent retrieval and management interface, where a hybrid of image-based and text-based search of the worldwide patents database allows users to begin their query using image and/or text.

This system will help reduce operational costs and increase the operational efficiency of the IP industry and technology firms. A comprehensive and accurate patent search will not only reduce one's risk of reinventing the wheel, but it can also help in making critical business decisions or mitigate risk of litigation. The company is aggressively expanding its clientele base in China and is expecting to triple its revenue in 2011.

Through TECS POV, Jitcomm aims to develop the world’s first chip-based high-performance network acceleration solution, which will significantly improve the WAN performance, while keeping the cost as well as application response time to a minimum. The product can work along with, or be embedded into existing network equipment.

Jitcomm's technology can potentially increase WAN capacity up to 5 times and accelerate network applications up to 20 times without extra investment on physical bandwidth upgrading. Leveraging on this technology, the company conducts large scale field trials across multiple sites with potential customers. In addition, it has secured further follow-on investments in Q3 2010.

Gatekeeper aims to leverage on its patented enhanced two phase cooling solution that has been proven to outperform the heat-pipe solutions. Furthermore, the cooler does not need external power source, as it can run on the heat generated by the source. Through their validation tests, results has showed that their cooler outperforms leading heat pipe coolers of similar size, as well as reduces green datacenter server room temperature by 5°C.

Gatekeeper seeks to disrupt the current heat pipe technology and become the future of cooling intensive high energy applications such as high performing multi-core computers or datacenters. Furthermore, the technology can also be applied to other industries such as concentrated solar panels (CPV) or high powered LEDs. In addition, the company has recently clinched top honours at the Singapore Infocomm Technology Federation (SiTF) Awards 2010, being both the winner of Emerging Technology Category and Overall Judges’ Choice Award.

Through the Proof-of-Value project, Pechora aims to develop a video monitoring technology that is easy to use and highly affordable by simply leveraging on unused mobile phones. Globally, consumers have been changing their mobile phones within 2 years of usage, creating a vast number of phones lying around unused. The technology can employ those unused phones that are equipped with cameras and WiFi function, and connect them for remote monitoring, which transform them into "virtual Internet Protocol (IP) cameras".

Through these virtual IP cameras, Pechora can potentially disrupt existing monitoring services that require personal computer, paving the way for affordable and WiFi enabled monitoring for people on the move. The technology is offered as a service and was showcased and launched commercially at DEMO, an international technology conference in September 2010. The service is also being made available in partnership with leading mobile operators, webcam companies and security product companies.

Doublecheck Semiconductors has patented technology that allows 80 µm thin silicon wafers to retain their mechanical rigidity without the use of any support systems, therefore enables testing on both sides of the wafers. Through this Proof-of Value project, the company aims to prove the consistent viability on the 8” wafer.

This technology can potentially revolutionise manufacturing processes in the semiconductor industry, leading to a cost savings of 50% or more to the customers. Through their recent showcase in the Electronic Components and Technology Conference, an international electronic packaging conference in June 2010, they gained strong participants’ interests and were nominated as one of the best paper in their session. The company has also been receiving orders from interested customers worldwide to demonstrate the technology on their next generation products.

This problem was solved when BioMers managed to develop the world’s first transclucent orthodontic wires possessing such mechanical properties, though this is still limited to wires of round cross-sections and low stiffness values which are suitable for the intial phase of the orthodontic treatment. Through this Proof-of-Value project, BioMers seeks to develop a manufacturing process for the development of transclucent wires with rectangular cross-sections and high stiffness value which can be applied to both intermediate and initial phases of the orthodontic treatment

The transclucent orthodontic braces system allows patients to undergo orthodontic treatment without the embarrassment of unsightly metal braces while not comprising on the performance. As the wire are metal free and not coated with tooth-colour, it is highly suitable for nickel-sensitive patients and possesses lasting aesthetics. BioMers has also secured 3rd party investment in 2010.

In the Proof-of-Value project, tenCube aims to develop a disruptive technology – Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) that is capable of managing most common mobility challenges faced by enterprises. Through the company’s proprietary mobile platform technology, it creates ground-breaking approach in controlling the mobile devices securely, enabling enterprises to effectively track and control their devices' usage, applications and data.

The EMS is designed to be easily adapted by customers and potentially allow the Total Cost of Ownership to be 10 times lesser. tenCube was also acquired by McAfee in 2010.
