Project Number 3056: Electric Motors get Green Light
A lightweight electric motor has been developed that offers increased efficiency for a variety of high torque to low weight applications including hybrid vehicles and renewable energy.

Project Number 3680: Biomass to Methanol Process
A catalytic process to convert glycerol, the main by-product of biodiesel production, into methanol. The new method is clean and operates at low temperature and pressure. Methanol has application as a fuel and an industrial chemical.

Project Number 1557: Space is Not the Final Frontier
Oxford's linear oil-free compressors are cost effective for non-space applications.

Project Number 2531: Improvement of Heart By-pass Operations
Oxford researchers have developed a method of preventing spasm during heart by-pass operations, which significantly improves the success rate of these procedures.

Project Number 2918: Higher Efficiency Materials for Li-ion Batteries
New cost effective electrode materials viable for Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors having higher charge storage capacity, can power applications such as hybrid cars, mobile phones and laptops.

Project Number 71531: Higher Yields of Therapeutic Protein Products
New technology has developed at EKB Technology which allows the in-situ removal of toxic by-products during biofermentations to produce high value biologics.

Project Number 3801: Novel Antibodies for Treatment of Autoimmune Disease
Researchers at the University of Oxford have generated new antibodies for treatment of autoimmune diseases, which are able to more effectively inhibit auto-reactivity by specifically targeting inhibitory cell surface receptors reliant on extrinsic tyrosine kinases.

Project Number 3853: Software for Modelling Orientation of Liquid Crystal Molecules
Liquid Crystal displays with applications in televisions, mobile phones and signage solutions will benefit from the new software for modelling and optimising their optical performance accurately and reliably.

Project Number 3567: Semantic Web Software
New software for knowledge-based applications in areas such as life sciences, business processes and the semantic web.

Project Number 3325: Small THAWT, but Big Thinking
A novel tidal turbine has been designed and tested which allows the scalable exploitation of tidal resources by a device that has low mechanical complexity.
