Commercial Opportunities: Protection
Cleaning & Decontamination Fluids WO 2007104971(P1461) Full Details>>
A concentrated cleaning formulation comprising commercially available, biodegradable or environmentally benign constituents has been developed and tested to military decontamination standards. The concentrated “base” fluid provides a phase stabilised microemulsion upon dilution with water (pure or impure) and is particularly ideal for emulsifying water insoluble materials, such as oils, grease, permanent markers and materials thickened with acrylic polymers (such as chemical and biological warfare agents). The diluted fluid solves the problem of effectively removing both water soluble and water insoluble material concurrently from diverse hard surfaces and some porous surfaces. The particular advantage of the product is its ability to have utility across a large array of different applications reducing inventory, logistics and environmental impacts.
Pep Gel Biological & Chemical Barrier Material WO 2003062321 (P1308) Full Details>>
“Pepgel” is Dstl’s novel Biochemical Agent Barrier product which has been licensed into Dstl’s spin out company Barrier Materials. Using a blend of poly(vinyl alcohol) and polyethyleneimine dissolved in water (PVOH–PEI), Dstl has developed a breathable, water vapour permeable, chemically hard product which provides a very effective barrier to chemicals and biological agents, including organic agents like petrol and diesel in their gaseous or liquid states.

Remote Monitoring System WO 2001093754 (P1252) Full Details>>
The invention relates to a system for monitoring a live population, with collected data from the population being transmitted to a remote station for analysis. The population, which can be human, animal or plant, is monitored physiologically over a period of time along with their location.
As the physical condition data and location data are correlated with time, these data are sent to a remote data collection computer via telecoms, where they are analysed for unusual events. The data can be reinforced by data from other sources, to predict and signal the unusual events, enabling appropriate action to be taken. The predictive analysis algorithms behind the population/event monitoring system are deemed to perform more efficiently than manually based systems. The system has been fielded and tested in a military context.
