Isis Innovation

One approach developed by Isis Innovation Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the University of Oxford) involves the precipitation of calcium phosphate onto collagen at room temperature. When o-phosphoserine is added to the reaction, the calcium phosphate precipitates onto the collagen in the form of small "needles." These structures provide abundant surface area on which osteoblasts and other hone cells can become established. 

As far as initiatives in setting up companies are concerned the chemistry department has been involved with a variety of enterprises including those listed in Table 7.5. The department has then been able to contribute to the university a sum close to 100 million over the last ten years. The elfort has been greatly aided by Oxford s technology transfer office, Isis Innovation Ltd.

MOREHyS was developed by the German-French Institute for Environmental Research (DFIU/IFARE), in Karlsruhe (Germany), in co-operation with the Fraunhofer Institute for System and Innovation Research (ISI) (Karlsruhe) (Ball, 2006 Ball el al., 2006 Kienzle, 2005). MOREHyS is based on the open-source BALMOREL model (Baltic model of regional energy market liberalisation), which was initially developed...

The MAPS spectrometer at ISIS [2], Fig. 12.1(a), is a third generation instrument that demonstrates the future direction of direct geometry instruments. The principal innovation is the use of large area, position sensitive He detectors ( 3.3.1.1). An area of 16 m. Fig. 12.1(b), of the sample environment tank is covered by 576 detectors that provide ahnost continuous coverage over a large solid angle in the forward scattering direction. 

A recent innovative machine-room-less traction elevator (ISIS) from ThyssenKrupp takes full advantage of the properties of p-aramid in the design of the hoist cable and associated traction sheaves [130-133]. The cable has three times the life of a steel rope, is smaller in size, and weighs 90% less than a steel rope at a comparable strength rating. The smaller size permits the use of smaller sheaves thereby decreasing torque requirements and operating costs. No lubrication is required because the inner strands are Teflon coated. Finally, the cable transmits less noise and provides a smoother, quieter ride.
