FluidHealth is an AI-based multi-sensor system deployed by cities and
contractors to map, inspect, and optimize wastewater systems, helping
eliminate urban water pollution. The 10 cities in India that have
deployed FluidHealth have collectively seen an increase in wastewater
treatment by over 200 Million Gallons per Day (MGD).

The Tie Controller gives electric distribution utilities control over
the flow of power on the electrical grid. This device acts like an
internet router, but for the power system, enabling utility operators to
redistribute power more effectively after an outage, and allowing for
better management of distributed generation like rooftop solar.

“The GFN will substantially mitigate the risk of powerlines starting
fires, and thereby allowing utilities to also keep the power on during
high risk days.This is done using a novel combination of a passive high
voltage device and ultra fast power electronics. Previously undetectable
faults (e.g wire on ground) are detected using advanced algorithms.”

“EV fire incidents increase lately because of all protection/management
tech. of EV module & pack can’t stop battery thermal runaway after
triggered, no matter liquid LiB, LFP or solid-state battery. ASM is a
mechanism actively stop thermal runaway. It passivates electrodes to
stop thermal runaway even triggered. Therefore, no more EV fire
incidents”

FundFinder is the first free web app to alert patients, healthcare
professionals, and advocates about the availability of funding for
patient assistance programs.

Capital Rx’s Clearinghouse Model is the first major innovation in the
way prescriptions are priced in over two decades. Through this new
pricing framework, Capital Rx brings full visibility to drug unit prices
and eliminates arbitrary price variability for patients and employers.

The Repurposing Framework is a complete process that facilitates the
rapid delivery of an MCM to the warfighter, or the general population,
as needed. It is used to identify the likelihood that an MCM will make a
successful repurposing candidate, comparing MCMs, socializing
repurposing recommendations, and tracking MCMs and supporting
literature.

Oxitec is a pioneer in biological solutions to safely and sustainably
control insect pests that spread disease and damage crops. We are an
impact-driven company comprised of passionate people who share a mission
to develop safe, effective control solutions to enable communities to
combat disease-carrying and crop-destroying insects at scale.

Understood to be the world’s first full-scale subaqueous insitu
stabilization (ISS) of sediment for environmental purposes. The
operation of the former Mortlake manufactured gas plant lead to
contamination of sediment within Kendall Bay, NSW, Australia. An
innovative design was required to clean-up the bay while limiting
impacts of the work.

Agricultural baler knotter technology that delivers cost and
environmental benefits. High tensile strength and elimination of offcuts
result in a significant reduction in plastic pollution. Considering an
annual production of 900 balers, and an average bale length of 2.4
meters, we can save 498 tonnes of plastic. For the average farmer, by
eliminating offcuts, some 6km of twine is saved: that’s how much plastic
won’t be left to contaminate the environment.
