In biology labs and classrooms aroudn the world, teaching aids such as skeletal and gastronintestinal models are a familiar sight. What is conspicuously absent is a realistic and interactive three-dimensional model of our fundamental building block - the cell. The result? A disconnect between theory and reality. We offer a product that can requite this conceptual blind-spot, which has two interdependent components: a realistic gel-based cell model with removable cell parts, and 3D modelling and animation software. User interaction with the physical model will activate animation, images and related information on an analagous 3D virtual cell.

Each day, thousands of people suffer from heart attacks caused by underlying coronary artery disease. The condition can be corrected by angioplasty, followed by wire-mesh stent to hold the artery open, but protein deposition can occlude the stent. Drug-eluting stents attack the deposits, but do not directly address the underlying attachment process.

We propose to create a novel 'non-stick stent, coated with a non-toxic susbstance that is both hydro- and oleo-phobic. We require £1.5m seed funding to reach Phase 1 clinical trial where we can partner with a device manufacturer to capture 15% of this US$15bn market within five years.

It's a typical, busy day. Meetings, classes, deadlines, too much to do. Customers, colleagues, friends, family, all trying to connect with you. You have a short break. 10 voicemails.

With Copasetic your mobile phone can show you the status of all your contacts - available, on a call, busy, asleep or ready for business. Copasetic brings the real benefits of instant messaging functionality to your mobile phone, so you can make that connection. Confirm, call, connect! That's Copasetic.

Scombrotoxic fish poisoning is the most common disease caused by marine toxins. It is characterised by elevated histamine levels in seafood products, caused by bacterial spoilage. There is an unmet need in the fishing industry for an accurate and inexpensive test for toxic histamine levels in fish. We propose a novel dip-stick method based on anti-histamine antibodies for scombrotoxin testing. Our product will be aimed at industrial applications but will not require laboratory resources. It will be cheaper, quicker and easier to use than currently available tests.

Direct selling is the ideal method of selling because it allows differentiation of the products to customers through personal demonstration and explanation. The future will bring enormous growth to direct sales because of demand pull and technology push. For these reasons, Nu Skin Enterprises is a leader in direct sales. Its biophotonic scanner is technology that will deliver huge gains with enormous potential for profit. The Nu Skin force for good foundation has the pull for social and humanitarian entrepreneurs. Direct sales global revenue approaches $100 billion per year and this business is egalitarian, financially and ethically sound.

It is an implementation, development and marketing of a new technology to synthesise peptides. It could also be extended to other biopolymers like nucleotide chains, etc. Production of pure peptides in quantity and quality is a major bottleneck in the field of peptde-based drugs and peptide pharmaceuticals. The implementation of our patentable technology would effectively address this bottleneck.

Many social and professional bodies pride themselves for having broad and deep networks but many of their members fail to realise the full benefit from it. With the introduction of InTouch platform, the full potential of networks can finally be unleashed.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an expanding industry - US$2bn in 2005, projected to grow by 50% within 3 years. Much of this growth is due to cheap "passive" tags, which require no power supply and hold useful digital information. More expensive "active" tags utilise a battery to power complicated electronics for the lifetime of the tag. Until now, data logging applications were only possible either using an active tag, or a passive tag when in the field of an interrogator unit. RLogg have filed a patent on a hybrid RFID data logging solution that allows several new low cost applications.

According to two recent EU directives, lead is soon to be totally banned from electronic equipment because of its toxicity to human health. Lead-based soldering alloys currently used in certain engineering applications where the operating temperatures of the circuitry exceeds 125° have a very high content of lead in order to keep the melting point high and, on top of this, need to be periodically replaced because failure of the mechanical joint occurs. Tech Solders offers a novel way of assembling electronic components to circuit boards by means of a lead-free solder alloy that is capable of operating in liquid state, therefore preventing the failure of the assembly.
