The global diabetes prevalence is estimated to be 9.3% in 2019 and is expected to rise to 10.9% by 2045 [1]. Although there is no cure for diabetes, regular blood glucose monitoring and appropriate medication can control the symptoms. Electrochemical glucose meters are accepted as being the most accurate and reliable glucose measurement devices. However, they are invasive and patients need to take three to six measurements daily. As a result, their nervous system may be damaged due to long-term usage. There are several proposed approaches for non-invasive glucose monitoring, mainly based on optical, transdermal and electrochemical techniques. Due to the nature of these technologies, the proposed approaches are not suitable for continuous monitoring. This blood glucose monitoring device is a wearable sensor that makes use of transmission line implemented using a microstrip working at microwave frequencies to measure blood glucose non-invasively and continuously. The technology owner is looking for licensees to commercialise this technology. [1] Saeedi, P., et al. (2019). Global and regional diabetes prevalence estimates for 2019 and projections for 2030 and 2045. Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 157, 107843. This glucose monitoring device is developed based on the fact that the change of the glucose level in blood alters the electrical properties (permittivity and conductivity) of the tissues at the target site. It is realised by having a microstrip line (MLIN) built around a finger with the finger serves as the substrate of the MLIN. Signal is input from the tip of the finger. The signal line is on one side of the finger, and the ground plane is on the other side. The return loss of the microstrip is then measured to determine the glucose concentrations. In this approach, the sensitivity is increased significantly by: the dense field between the transmission line and the ground plane for sensing; and the patterned transmission line and patterned ground plane. The sensor can be worn as a ring, finger stall or bracelet. Other similar products have low penetration depth, and their readings are affected by factors such as body temperature and hydration. The technology enables continuous, non-invasive monitoring of glucose levels in diabetic patients, offering a reliable, efficient, and patient friendly solution. The non-invasive glucose meter market, valued at USD 165.41 million in 2022, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.65%, reaching USD 321.22 million by 2030 [2]. This growth is fuelled by increasing demand for personalised and data-driven diabetes management solutions. Advancements in big data analytics and artificial intelligence are transforming the market, enabling real-time glucose monitoring and tailored hypoglycemic control based on individual lifestyle and health data. These innovations address a critical need for non-invasive, patient-friendly solutions that enhance diabetes management while reducing the discomfort and limitations of traditional methods. With the introduction of such cutting-edge technologies, there is a significant opportunity to capture market share by meeting the growing demand for efficient, AI-driven glucose monitoring devices that empower both patients and healthcare providers.

The accelerated growth of electronic waste (e-waste) is s driven by the expanding demand for electrical and electronic equipment, fuelled by industrial revolution and digital transformation.  Current industrial practices for extracting gold from e-waste and mining ores heavily rely on highly toxic cyanide-based lixiviant or highly corrosive aqua regia. These hazardous substances pose fatal hazards to involved personnel and contribute significantly to environmental pollution. Additionally, these methods suffer from inefficiencies, such as low extraction yields and poor selectivity, which lead to the co-leaching of other toxic heavy metals, including copper, nickel, and tin. To address these challenges, the technology provider has developed and patented an innovative lixiviant that is facile, cost-effective, highly selective, safer, and efficient. This proprietary lixiviant offers exceptional gold extraction efficiency (up to 96%) and high output (≥3,000 ppm) while using less toxic alternatives to cyanide. With a low concentration of cyanide substitutes (<1,900 ppm), it operates optimally at 60°C in an alkaline environment. By generating less toxic waste and creating a healthier workplace, this technology enables companies to enhance their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts and meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals by integrating social and environmental considerations into their operations. The technology has undergone extensive pilot-scale evaluations with multiple companies. Since April 2023, it has been adopted by nine industry partners, demonstrating its effectiveness and practicality. The technology provider is actively seeking industry partners to test-bed the lixiviant and is open to license the technology to interested partners. High gold extraction rate (up to 96%) with a saturation concentration of ≥3,000 ppm gold High gold selectivity (up to 97%) Low concentration of cyanide alternatives (<1,900 ppm) stabilized in alkaline environment of pH 13-14 Non-fuming and extracts optimally at 60°C Allows high purity gold to be recovered via chemical reduction upon saturation Electronic wastes, such as gold-coated printed circuit boards, connectors, CPUs, etc. Jewellery containing gold Precious metal recovery Gold-coated solid According to the United Nation (UN), each person will produce an average of 7.6 kg of e-waste in 2021, generating 57.4 million tonnes of e-waste worldwide (WEEE Forum, 2021), in which considerable amount of gold can be potentially recovered. In recent years, many countries have mandated environmental responsibilities to electronic manufacturers to establish producer recycling programs and ban e-waste disposal into landfills. With the growing amount of electronic waste around the world following digitization, there is a pressing need for effective technologies to extract and recover gold from gold-coated electronic waste safely and efficiently. This demand is driven by increasing global regulations that mandates the recycling of electronic waste, a significant source of secondary gold, to reduce the environmental impact of traditional gold mining. Safer and less hazardous lixiviant for gold extraction, thus improving workplace safety and health Lixiviant can be directly employed in existing operating line Extract ≥3,000 ppm gold with up to 96% extraction rate Cost effectiveness (≤ 2.23 USD/L) Less hazardous waste produced for easier downstream waste treatment Gold, e-waste, leaching, precious metal extraction, hydrometallurgy, recycling Chemicals, Organic, Waste Management & Recycling, Industrial Waste Management

In recent years, particularly after the pandemic, the demand for effective antibacterial and antiviral solutions has surged. These solutions are increasingly utilized in diverse settings, including residential spaces, educational institutions, public areas, and transportation systems. Thus, it is anticipated that the demand for antimicrobial and antiviral products will continue to grow.

In manufacturing, critical end-of-line inspections often remain manual due to the rigidity of traditional machine vision solutions. Although various inspection solutions have been developed over the years, widespread adoption has been hindered by implementation challenges, lengthy model training times, and high costs. For manufacturers dealing with rapidly evolving products, legacy purpose-built systems become harder to maintain. For them it is advantageous to invest in a manual process and team that can adapt and innovate throughout their product lifecycle.
