Licensing

At NOC Innovations, we share our expertise in a number of ways. One of them is through technology licensing.

In other words, you can lease our tech for use within and without your organisation. You’ll have the legal rights to install it, use it and profit from it. 

But it goes beyond that. You’ll also be privy to the latest scientific insights, and gain access to the most up-to-date versions of the world’s leading marine research tools.

Lab-on-chip technology

We’re inviting you to benefit from our state-of-the-art platform technology, which incorporates specialist microfluidic techniques.

We expect this to be of interest if you manufacture water quality sensors for customers from the scientific, aquaculture, shipping, industrial water processing and freshwater regulation sectors.

But why?

Well, having in-situ, lab-on-chip cell technology arise means you can measure a multitude of chemistries in a straightforward and cost-effective way without having to secure and transport them, which risks contamination and increases costs.

Through technology licensing, you can gain accurate data on site and download it instantly.

Our tech is patent-protected, published widely, and delivers data for NERC, the EU and various industry programmes.

Four Methods Permeability Calculator (FoMPeCa)

Our Four Methods Permeability Calculator (FoMPeCa) is a digital tool that processes data from experimental tests to determine the permeability of porous media.

We wrote it in MATLAB®, and it’s presented through a friendly and easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI).

This GUI is home to three primary panels and four hidden panels which become visible when you select them. The primary panels allow you to:

● Load data files
● Display data
● Calculate permeability according to selected data

The hidden panels house:

● Physical sample characteristics
● Physical fluid characteristics
● Parameters of the experimental system used
● A unit-selector tool for the parameters and variables

FoMPeCa is available with a non-exclusive licence, and will prove especially valuable to companies supplying software solutions to the oil and gas, geotechnical and material testing sectors.

Hydrostatic Release Unit

Our HRU offers a low-cost, multi-shot, compact, simple and reliable means of releasing ballast weights (up to 20kg) from free-drifting instruments.

You can also use it to release actuation devices for a variety of applications at pre-determined depths up to around 300m.
