The Cornell NanoScale Facility (CNF) at Cornell University has partnered with Xallent LLC to develop a next generation diagnostic tool to more rapidly and economically test and characterize semiconductor devices and thin film materials during manufacturing. This tool is built on Xallent’s innovative nanoscale imaging and probing technology. The ability to rapidly probe and measure electrical components at the nanoscale for diagnostics and failure analysis non-destructively is expected to tap a broad range of industry applications. The Manufacturing Innovation Grant will be used to adapt Xallent’s nanomachine platforms to analytical instruments at the Cornell NanoScale Facility for validation, user interface focus, and reliability studies to ready the company for product launch and scale up. Additionally, this project will help Xallent add 8 new jobs by the end of 2019.

United Aircraft Technologies, Inc. (UAT) is developing an aircraft clamp, which will replace a metal legacy design with a new ergonomic and lighter alternative. This clamp is designed to improve fuel economy (by reducing the overall weight of an aircraft), decrease the occurrence of Repetitive Strain Injuries, simplify maintenance, and reduce the environmental impact of CO2 emissions. The team’s focus is on the aviation industry and their entry into the aerospace military market. Through assistance from the Center of Economic Growth’s (CEG’s) Business Growth Service group and regional Manufacturing Extension Partnership, UAT and CEG have secured funding from the FuzeHub Jeff Lawrence Innovation Fund to facilitate the commercialization of UAT’s technology.

Chocolate Moulding Line Optimization Project: Processing of chocolate to its physical product form is traditionally done with hard stiﬀ polycarbonate moulds. The curing and cooling processes needed before it can be packaged also require excess handling. Vigneri Chocolate Inc. recently installed the production line for solid bark products supplying Wegmans and other brands. Given the increase in orders an optimization of the processes are needed. The targeted optimization also provides new product innovations. This project is to optimize our solid chocolate moulding line process. It is estimated to result in: 25% increase in productivity 15% less scrappage Increase of product portfolio Job and training addition of three people Drive quality

The Tech Valley Center of Gravity, a makerspace in Troy, NY, is expanding their services to support NYS manufacturers with a Rapid Prototyping Center (RPC). Manufacturers and start-ups will have access to more equipment that will enable them to build prototypes of manufactured goods. No such center exists in the Capital Region for both entrepreneurs and manufacturers alike to work on prototypes. Five companies have committed to use the RPC in the first year, and as many as 20 companies a year will have access to the Center’s equipment. One Husdon, Shandor Engineering, Beckmann Engineering, Self Array, and Axiom North America, LLC will all use the RPC when it is complete.

Vistex Composites

Kim Lloyd — Tue, 17 May 2022 13:15:10 +0000

Vistex Composites LLC is a manufacturing innovation company currently developing and commercializing an advanced composites manufacturing process which is a sustainable alternative to autoclaving, the industry standard. This process drastically reduces capital investment, recurring manufacturing costs, energy consumption, and labor and cycle times while providing equivalent or better quality products. Vistex’s patented technology uses a special Pressure Focusing Layer (PFL) that through a proprietary optimization algorithm and FEA modeling is designed to apply a uniform pressure distribution during the manufacturing process. The proposed work performed by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute seeks to help the company lower the cost of initial prototypes and reduce turn-around time from order to delivery.

VitaMe Technologies, Inc.

Kim Lloyd — Tue, 17 May 2022 13:15:10 +0000

Cornell University researchers and VitaScan have developed the VitaScan diagnostics platform: a low cost and portable instrument that can determine micronutrient deficiencies including vitamin D and iron from a finger stick of blood. A key innovation that makes this possible is the design and manufacturing of a proprietary lateral flow assay that combines blood filtration, chemical mixing, and capture of antibodies into one rapid process. Cornell and VitaScan will together develop a medium-scale manufacturing and packaging process to optimize the procedure and create reliable tests for validation studies. VitaScan will pursue the manufacturing strategy in preparation for commercialization, and plans to create 10 new jobs in the next two years.
