Technology offers for licence holder and further developer
The patent licensing agency PROvendis* acts in order of both Dortmund members of the Leibniz Association, IfADo (Leibniz-Research Centre for Working Environments and Human Factors) and ISAS (Institute for Analytical Sciences) and offers interested companies the opportunity to get licences of inventions. Moreover, it should be possible to develop start-up technologies from higher marketability until readiness for marketing.
*PROvendis GmbH is the patent licensing agency for the universities of North Rhine-Westphalia Germany
Technological Offer „EID“
EID - Embedded Information Display
It is often necessary to superimpose additional information in screen contents of software applications. The universal solution of this problem will be possible by EID, the embedded information display.
Commercial Opportunity: Without high costs the innovative solution EID makes possible to embed e.g. alarm announcements into closed hard and software systems. Applications for this setting are numerous, e.g. in industrial control systems, power stations, air traffic control and in the fields of military or medical affairs. In addition, information systems in the industrial, financial and assurance sector can become upgraded and extended with EID. Also the application for LAN-parties should be considered.
Keywords: superimposed display, external information,

Offer „ErgoViz“
ErgoViz - Ergonomic 3D-Visualization
By ErgoViz the real-time stereoscopic visualization of 3D content is optimized, so that the visual stress on the viewer is reduced. This allows e. g. more working hours at a 3D monitor. The stereoscopic visualization gives the impression of real depth of the regarded image. ErgoViz is based on the principle that this visualization is adapted continuously to the viewing conditions. With the aid of an eye-tracking system the current viewing conditions are measured. This information is used in real time for the adjustment of the technical parameters of the stereoscopic visualization. This ensures that no diplopic images occur, even when the objects seem to be very near. ErgoViz is not bound to a special technology process for stereoscopic projection. The only requirement is that the position and the line of sight of the right and the left eye can be measured.
Commercial Opportunity: product development, medical engineering, entertainment industry
Keywords: real-time stereoscopic 3D-visualization, eye-tracking, reduction of visual stress

Offer „NFA“
Network Formation Assay (NFA) - Rapid and reliable method to analyse neurite outgrowths
The novel network formation assay enables simple, rapid and reproducible analysis of neurite generation and outgrowth by cell patterning techniques. Therefore a matrix is prepared consisting of permissive areas (allowing the neurons to adhere) and non-permissive areas.
Commercial Opportunity: There is a significant demand within the pharmaceutical industry for simple, efficient and reliable assays for testing the toxic and regenerative effects of chemicals on the nervous system.
Keywords: neurite outgrowth, cell patterning
