We currently apply this process to a number of products :

* socks - destroy foot odour & help in prevention of athlete's foot/tinea
* bed linen - for home, hotels and hospitals. Kills bacteria on contact
* towels - bath towels, hand/face towels and tea towels.
* face masks - world's most advanced (they kill viruses & bacteria)

All AgActive products are backed by SilverSure 's Guarantee of Quality, and must meet 3 basic criteria:

* they must be natural and free from any added chemicals
* they must be Environmentally Friendly
* they must have some positive impact on Wellbeing and/or Lifestyle

AgActive products are safe, non-toxic, odourless and long-lasting. Because the silver nanoparticles are infused with the textile, they maintain their effectiveness even after repeated washing or heat application such as ironing.

Our team has a strong record of utilizing their start-up and management experience, industry knowledge, network of business/customer relationships, and recruiting skills to assist in building significant shareholder value.

Southern Cross is currently investing in companies that fit our investment criteria. We prefer to act as lead or co-lead in the early stages where we have experience that can help build value rapidly. We do not have a minimum investment amount, however, a typical initial investment will be $2 million to $5 million with an ability to invest more money in later rounds.

Key areas of experience and focus include:

* Software and software systems
* Telecommunications
* Materials and electronics
* Security
* Nanotechnology
* Environmental science and energy

Within these broad areas we are interested in everything from chips to services.

Southern Cross requires a formal submission before meetings or presentations are scheduled. This allows our partners to review and understand your ideas. It also greatly enhances the interactive value of conducting a meeting.

Synthetic Bone Graft for Biomedical Load- bearing Applications

This new material and its production technique represent a significant advance on the materials currently available for bone graft and spinal implant technology.

The new product, BioAlmog, is a high-strength bone-graft material derived from hydroxyapatite. It has innovative features that give it specific advantages in its mechanical properties, in comparison to other commercially available hydroxyapatite products.

These advantages are due to the conversion treatment, and the nano-coating with carbonate apatite, which uses a novel sol-gel technique. The new bone-graft technology will be of great social benefit, particularly for sufferers of arthritis and related disabling diseases.

Potential uses for the technology include bone-grafting under load-bearing conditions, such as long bones and the spine, and bioactive coatings for artificial joints, such as total hip replacements, knee and dental implants.

When you consider that an estimated 500 million people worldwide have various forms of arthritis, you can see the great potential of BioAlmog to help these people. We developed this technology at UTS, Sydney and are collaborating with UNSW and a university in the UK.

We are now looking to generate further interest, form alliances and gain cooperations from companies and institutions interested to assist bringing this invention onto the market. Contact us at b.ben-nissan@nanocoatings.com.au

Memjet technology is comprised of four tightly integrated components: page-width printheads, driver chips, ink and software. Printheads are comprised of individual microchip segments, joined together into page-width printing systems. Each chip measures just 20mm across and contains 6,400 nozzles. The printheads incorporate five color channels that can be flexibly configured to meet the needs of diverse markets. The driver chip is an integrated printing system that calculates 900 million drops per second and drives 70,400 nozzles in a standard A4/letter printer, delivering color page-width printing at 60 pages per minute. The Memjet software is highly portable and modular, allowing software developers to drive Memjet printers at rated speed and quality avoiding the details of printhead, nozzles or hardware. Printheads and driver chips can scale from 20mm to large format sizes, enabling printing in virtually any width. Customized water-based inks ensure great print quality whether printing photos, office documents or industrial labels.

With their high power and energy densities, supercapacitors are capable of producing the high burst power required, for example, when taking a digital photo, sending wireless phone or PDA transmissions, providing back-up energy, or hot-swapping battery packs.

As the use of mobile technology advances, the need for smaller, portable, and more highly functional devices grows.
This, in turn, intensifies the demand for battery power systems that are compact and light, but still provide long run times. CAP-XX supercapacitors will increasingly become the critical enabling technology that allows OEMs to achieve significant savings in cost, component count, mass, weight, and circuit complexity.

Qucor Pty Ltd is a start-up company activated in 2003 to commercialise pathway technologies developed from quantum computing research undertaken in Australia. Qucor is backed by the very substantial technical expertise and infrastructure of Australia’s Centre for Quantum Computer Technology, headquartered at the University of New South Wales and headed by Professor Robert Clark.

Qucor works in atom-scale information technology. It connects extreme nanotechnology - work at the level of individual atoms and photons - with the emerging demands of the semiconductor and optoelectronics industries. Qucor undertakes technology demonstrations with industry, to apply single-atom and single-photon expertise to creating the foundations for the next generation of IT products.

Nearer-term products are expected to emerge in the area of security, first as single photon sources and detectors, then as Quantum Key Distribution systems. In the medium term, single atom control has application to sensor manufacture, precise doping of transistors, and could underpin novel customised semiconductor devices. Over the medium to longer term, “few qubit” devices are expected to emerge, exploiting the quantum physical properties of individual atoms. First applications are most likely to exploit their unique advantages to enable secure data transmission in the financial and entertainment industry sectors.

The Dyesol team has now been developing its blocking patent suite for 10 years. Dyesol benefits from investment of almost 300 man-years in DSC technology by the Australian team. Throughout this time, the Australian team has benefited from a close connection to EPFL in Switzerland, where the original DSC invention was made.

Universities in Japan, Korea, USA, Thailand, Taiwan, as well as EPFL in Switzerland have all purchased DSC materials now in the Dyesol range, (e.g. dye, titania paste) for DSC projects (PV and direct hydrogen production). Corporate customers come from Korea, Japanese and US. Researchers in China and Switzerland have purchased Dyesol DSC test equipment manufactured in Australia. In Australia, researchers from Monash, University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology, Melbourne University, UNSW and CSIRO have purchased Dyesol DSC raw materials/components.

Eiffel began operations as a contract manufacturer of pharmaceuticals in 1986 as PharmAction Holdings Limited and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in August 1996. Eiffel sold its pharmaceutical manufacturing contract operation to Cottee Health.

Since late 2000, Eiffel has focused on developing and commercialising SCF particle re-engineering technologies in partnership with the international drug delivery and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to Eiffel's seven international and provisional patent applications, the company was granted in 2000 a world-wide exclusive licence for SCF technology platforms from the Universities of NSW (Unisearch) and Sydney.

The choice of 'Eiffel' as the company name came from some of the earliest research into SCFs. In 1891, French scientist Cailletet generated the high pressures required for SCF processes with a mercury-filled tube extending to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
