anofilm and SDG, Inc., two Ohio-based nano- technology companies, signed a comprehensive
joint development and licensing agreement to deve- lop and commercialize nano-formulas that combine the two companies’ technologies. Among the plan- ned projects is development of technology to control the release and toxicity of bio-active agents at the na- no-scale. Potential applications include longer lasting anti-bacterial surface treatments. The scope of the exclusive agreement covers a broad range of consu- mer and industrial applications for formulas bringing together the two companies’ capabilities.
“There’s a strong synergy between Nanofilm and SDG’s nanotechnology development and commer- cialization strengths,” comments Scott Rickert, PhD, co-founder and CEO of Nanofilm. “Together, we are able to capitalize on near-term opportunities for enhanced bio-active nanotechnologies for a variety of professional and consumer uses.”
“Working with Nanofilm builds on SDG’s long hi- story of successful nanotechnologydevelopment and commercialization partnerships,” says Robert Geho, SDG’s co-founder and Senior Vice President. “We anticipate aggressively extending the capabilities of bionanotechnology to new applications.”
SDG has successfully developed, patented and com- mercialized nanoscale liposomes to be carriers for individual drug molecules for therapeutic treatments as well as diagnostic imaging agents, nutraceutical

ow 3d-Radar, which grew out of a PhD dissertation at the Norwegian University
of Science and Technology (NTNU), has been nominated for a prestigious Norwegian technology award.
When Egil Eide, CEO of 3d-Radar, and associate professor II at the university, wrote his PhD disser- tation at NTNU on the radar a decade ago, there was almost immediate international interest in the technology, he says.
In addition to detecting land mines, the radar can also be used for archaeological excavations, road work or to find pipelines.
3d-Radar AS was formed in 2001 in Trondheim, as a spin-off from NTNU, University of Trond- heim, Norway. In 2007, 3d-Radar was acquired by a Norwegian company, called VMETRO. In October 2008, VMETRO was acquired by Curtiss- Wright Controls and by that 3d-Radar became a part of Curtiss-Wright Controls.
