Changing the game for portable display
Arovia is the company behind Splay, the revolutionary 2-in-1 display and ultra-short-throw pico projector that can easily expand and fold in seconds. Splay’s wrinkle-free, collapsible projection screen and pop-up display is your flexible companion for busy workdays, fun adventure days, and more. The space-saving display and projector also includes loud and powerful speakers for an immersive experience.
Elevating standards of team safety with 360° tactical cameras
Bounce Imaging makes products that keep first-responders, warfighters, and civilians safer with best-in-class, low-cost, easy-to-use imaging and robotics systems. After seeing the devastation of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Bounce Imaging was founded on the belief that more lives could be saved if first responders were better able to detect whether confined spaces were safe to enter. The tools and equipment available at the time, particularly the cameras, were too bulky and complicated for the search and rescue teams to deploy. They were also cost-prohibitive. Since that time, Bounce Imaging has built a suite of 360-degree tactical camera systems used by over 450 state and local law enforcement agencies and first responders, the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and elite teams within the Department of Defense.
Driving discovery with unrivaled 3D imaging and measurement
Double Helix Optics’ groundbreaking 3D imaging platform delivers superior depth capture and resolution with speed and accuracy. Its computational optics solutions provide depth extensions of up to 24x the native depth of field and yield up to 10x improvement in throughput. The joint hardware-software design of DHO’s technology platform enables application-matched depth-capture range and resolution combinations that surpass the fundamental limits imposed by conventional imaging approaches. For life sciences, material sciences and inspection, DHO provides complete 3D nano- and micro-imaging solutions to reveal new discovery and insights.
Revolutionizing biomechanics at the speed of light
Intelon Optics’ Brillouin Optical Scanner System, or BOSS™, provides new and useful data for understanding the structure of tissues within the eye. BOSS works by using light energy to measure reverberations through a depth of tissue. It can reveal the biomechanics of the cornea, the lens, and, in the future, the retina, lending itself to a broad range of applications and empowering eye care professionals to have more confidence in treatment decisions based on the actual biomechanical properties of the patient’s ocular tissues.
Lighting the way to discovery
LighTopTech’s non-destructive high-resolution imaging uses a proprietary bio-inspired microscope design with liquid lens technology, allowing medical professionals to rapidly and noninvasively image subcellular structures beneath the surface of the skin or within the human eye. Applications also extend to material imaging for manufacturers, who can capture details inside materials to monitor the quality of the manufacturing process, thus improving quality and yield.
Innovating chips through better packaging
Mosaic Microsystem’s proprietary VIAFFIRM® bond enables thin glass solutions for demanding next generation microelectronics and photonics packaging needs. The company has created a new class of materials capable of reducing power consumption in mobile applications, providing higher display resolution, and reducing costs by enabling lower-cost manufacturing processes.
Applying eye-tracking systems to drive real-world solutions
*Capital recovered
Positive Science develops products that have allowed researchers to approach some of the most challenging eye-tracking situations, in the lab or in the field. Its UltraFlex headgear and PSLiveCapture software can support projects in behavior research, product design, artwork evaluation, shopping research, and much more.
Building customized chronic disease prevention platforms
Think Biosolution’s hardware and software solutions combine to support long-term care providers in implementing end-to-end patient monitoring programs. Its devices and digital health platform can detect hypertension, diabetes, and cardiac conditions in mild stages. This early detection delays onset of severe chronic conditions, reduces hospitalizations and cost of care, and helps patients live healthier, more independent lives.
