Intellectual Property Commercialisation Opportunities
Swinburne Commercialisation Opportunities
Swinburne's research is generally focussed in areas where we have world-class strengths, resulting in leading edge outcomes across a diverse range of fields. In turn these outcomes provide a source of high potential opportunities for further development and commercialisation.
Further information on a selection of these technologies is available via the links below:
| Nanoprobe | A proprietary nanostructured optical fibre technology, known as honeycomb optical fibre ( HOF ). These fibres are the core element for manufacturing sensitive and affordable SERS probes for compact, field-portable spectrometers. |
| Network Vulnerability Analysis | A new method for network vulnerability analysis which directly analyses and eliminates less critical vulnerabilities without building the actual attack graph. This is a top down approach which results in a significantly more efficient analysis. |
| Pacioli - Accounting Education Software Simulations | A suite of individual program modules of based on intelligent computer assisted learning (ICAL) methods providing accounting software specifically designed for accounting students to carry out complex simulations. |
| Supercomputer Energy Saving Systems | Autonomous software that continuously monitors the usage level of a supercomputer. In periods of low usage, the software detaches individual computers from the supercomputer, and based on a usage pattern, they are switched off to save power, delivering significant energy savings without compromising operational performance. |
| Virtual Room & VR Films | Swinburne's astrophysicists have applied their significant know-how in the display of 3D images of the universe to producing films for display in a number of (single screen) virtual reality theatres in locations around the world. The Virtual Room is a further development based on this expertise: an interactive and immersive environment available for educational, scientific, and cultural visualisation. |
Spin-off Companies
Swinburne, through Swinburne Ventures Limited, has been instrumental in setting up several spin-off companies over the last decade to facilitate the application of the results of our research to the wider benefit of the community. Some highlights can be found via the following links:
Cortical Dynamics |
Brain function monitoring system for application to depth of anaethesia monitoring, and neurodiagnostics. |
| Genos www.genos.com.au |
Commercialisation of the Swinburne University Emotional Intelligence Test. |
Hardwear |
'in situ laser surfacing' technology combining new laser, laser torch and robotic innovation to permit on-site, laser surfacing of metallic components without the need for dismantling,off-site repair, replacement or protracted downtime. |
| MiniFAB www.minifab.com.au |
A company working in the micro-nano-bio fields creating advanced products using unique scientific, engineering and manufacturing know-how. |
| Image Cytometrics Pty Ltd | Machine vision and learning algorithms designed for the analysis of high throughput microscope screens. This methodology enables the tracking and analysing multiple single (live) cells over extended periods of time, eliminating much of the human subjectivity. |
| Purple Panda New website currently under construction |
Software tools that make it easier to learn and translate Chinese. |
