Viva Blu

Viva Blu is developing a relatively low CO2 emitting, low cost water purification technology that eradicates - or reduces to safe levels - remaining trace concentrations of harmful organic molecules and pathogens that follow advanced treatment processes such as reverse-osmosis and membrance water filters. The growing concern of residual harmful contaminants in municipal and industrial water treatment plants has only recently emerged as society observes their pervasiveness and impact on humans and the environment.

VaST Systems Technology Corporation

VaST Systems Technology Corporation is a pioneer in solutions for embedded systems design. VaST tools and models are used by industrial leaders to create software simulation-based models - virtual system prototypes (VSPs) -- of systems on a chip (SoCs) and subsystems. This VSP is cycle accurate and runs nearly as fast as the final hardware. The VSP is used by systems designers for architecture exploration and optimization and then becomes a golden reference model for the co-development of hardware and software, typically enabling embedded software development to begin many months before the actual hardware, or even a hardware prototype, is available.

Personal Audio

Personal Audio is developing a system for simply and rapidly calibrating a virtual auditory space display to individual listeners. These technologies set this generation of 3D positional audio apart from existing technology, in that they provide for the potential to produce high fidelity and very natural listening that is indistinguishable from normal every day listening. In addition to improving peoples' performance in virtual soundscapes, the natural listening experience will induce a sense of "presence" in the listener, leading to a strong sense of "being" in the environment.

HEARD Systems Pty Ltd

HEARD Systems Pty Ltd (HEARD) has developed a novel method of diagnosing pregnancy in cows on farm.

Vast Audio

VAST Audio leverages its proprietary acoustics platform technology to develop DSP technologies involving the application of advanced sensory processing techniques to 3D hearing devices. The Company is developing the World's first spatial hearing aid to effectively support listening in both noisy and quiet environments. The hearing aid is based on the company's proprietary Completely-in-Canal (CIC) earphone and provides the perceptual basis for segregating talkers in noisy environments and will lead to vast improvement in speech segregation and intelligibility.

XeroCoat

XeroCoat has a unique and highly innovative liquid-based technology for the application of anti-scratch, anti-reflective and anti-fogging coatings to glass and plastics. The technology has already received some patent protection, with more in process. The manufacturing process for this technology is much less expensive than alternatives and can be applied to plastics. It is likely that an exit would come within 2 to 3 years via a trade sale to a major industry player such as Pilkington, SOLA Optical, Laminex or DuPont.
