More than 350,000 Americans experience cardiac arrest outside a hospital each year. When care isn't delivered promptly, survival rates are slim. VA researchers have developed a series of dosing guides to help patients survive cardiac arrest. These reference materials guide medical staff through the appropriate response for each patient, including easy-to-use tables for drug dosages for various patient weights and symptoms. If developed for widespread use, these materials could help improve outcomes for cardiac arrest patients.

Permanent magnets are critical to many electronics and machines, but using rare earth in these magnets has harmful environmental impacts and leads to unstable magnetic properties. A new Navy invention addresses these issues, using high-entropy alloys in place of rare earth. The new approach has been shown to produce magnets that remain stable at extremely high temperatures (>200°C), through shock and impact, and in environments susceptible to radiation and corrosion.

Since 1999, we've helped labs and businesses choose the best path to partnership — particularly in the medical space, where technology is rapidly evolving. Take BATDOK, for example. Through numerous non-exclusive patent license agreements, businesses have brought this Air Force-developed tech to life across medical and veterinary services. The technology played a big role in creating access to health support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Watch below for a closer look at our 25-year history: https://hubs.la/Q02-L1Qb0 #medicaltech #telehealth #patientservices

Vitamin D has many benefits, including use as a treatment for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and skin disorders. However, its use is limited due to calcitriol created during liver and kidney processing. In high doses, calcitriol can have toxic effects. Scientists at the VA are researching alternative pathways for Vitamin D3 activation to increase biocompatibility and reduce the likeliness of negative side effects, for use across multiple aspects of human health. Businesses can license this technology for commercial development - learn how: https://hubs.la/Q02-F7nb0 #autoimmunedisorder #skinhealth #vitaminD3

Army researchers have developed a lightweight, blast-proof insulated cooler that can be secured both outside and inside vehicles to safely transport beverages without becoming a projectile hazard. This invention can be used by many, from soldiers to outdoorsmen to athletes to humanitarian relief organizations. Interested in licensing for commercial use? Start here: https://hubs.la/Q02-rxGz0

For 25 years, TechLink has helped businesses license software that supports both military and civilians. One example is ATAK, a situational awareness smartphone app with thousands of DOD, Homeland Security, law enforcement, and civilian users. The software offers an up-to-the-second snapshot of operational environments to help keep users safe in their fields. This is all made possible by TechLink’s work with federal labs, which aims to unlock new uses for DOD technologies.

With cities across the nation facing the fallout of extreme weather, an Army-invented double-roof protection system could change the way we protect communities from natural forces like tornadoes and hurricanes. Initially designed as a blast barrier for military use, the inexpensive modular barrier can be configured in various ways to protect people and buildings. It may also have security applications, such as fortifying bank vaults. Interested in licensing for commercial development?

Nearly 4 in 10 Americans live in places with poor air quality. Pollutants are present both indoors and out, making it vital to detect and address unhealthy levels of ozone and particle pollution. Companies can partner with federal labs to help resolve this problem. DOD and VA inventions aimed at improving air quality are available to license now, including: - An intelligent HVAC system that automatically reacts to airborne pollutants - A more efficient way to measure outdoor aerosol levels - A heat exchanger that improves indoor air quality without changing the temperature - A wearable aerosol detector Get details here: https://hubs.la/Q02Z5GK50 #airquality #pollution #HVACinnovation
