Licensing opportunities

Inventions and technology developed by Abertay staff in the course of their research can be licensed to or co-developed with industrial partners who have the relevant skills and resources to exploit the technology efficiently and effectively.

Current opportunities include:

Bipedal Character Animation Engine - Software solution supporting the development of computer games with much more realistic characters and authentic game play. It can take a player-controlled, bipedal creature running across an open landscape, realistically reflecting the changing terrain the creature is negotiating.

GLoSS - A software solution that integrates game localisation into existing development processes, enabling faster and more efficient localisations and improved management and quality of translations, reducing localisation costs and improving turn-around time, helping to maximise return on investment for game developers and publishers.

Sperm Motility Assay - A test of sperm quality based on the reduction of the tetrazolium dye, MTT, for use with chicken and turkey spermatozoa. The test has been shown to correlate with fertilising ability, thus allowing industrial breeders to exercise selectivity in breeding males retained, with corresponding economic benefits.

Wastewater Remediation: Hydrocavitational Advanced Fenton Process (HCAFP) - A novel, patented process for the treatment of industrial wastewaters containing recalcitrant organic pollutants, such as those from the chemical sector. The process is an innovative development of a well-proven chemical oxidation reaction that provides a solution for the rapid and effective removal of these pollutants.
