Discovered new wrinkle to basic EDLC physics. Invented and filed patents on two fundamental materials advances based on the science. Funded materials development. Multiple batches of world's best material (by 20-40%) validated in three outside labs on two continents. Obtained Office of Naval Research multiyear grant. Potential for the material is over $1 billion, as enables the ultracapacitor industry to exceed the national U.S. goals set by DOE in 2002. License option with a multi-billion revenue, publicly traded European corporation., with world scale manufacturing line dedicated 10/30/12 in Europe. Pilot scale samples (100s of kg) successfully produced 2013. Currently looking at other manufacturing options, with core patents issued in Russia, US, Korea, Japan, China. Seeking alternative manufacturing/product partner for the IP estate.

A privately held biotech developing a novel topical antimicrobial acquired from P&G/GMP. Fundamental patent finally issued in 2009. TSB has developed mechanism, formulation, and a novel FDA grade synthesis for a key component. Compelling in vitro and in vivo demonstrations of safety and efficacy. Virtually complete "kill" of all varieties of all major pathogen classes-bacterial, fungal, viral, mycobacterial (TB). Plus truly novel persistence to at least log 3 efficacy for at least 3 hours persistence (formulation dependent) on bacteria, fungus, and most viruses (including cold and flu). Major advance for hospital hand hygene (bacterial persistence), public health (viral persistence). Environmentally safe viral surface disinfectant. Human clinical proof 2014-2015 as an effective agent for acne vulgaris. Development of resistance highly unlikely based on mechanism.In process of selling company at this interesting stage of development to the usual suspects.
