: World Wide Wheat, LLC
As a private entity, World Wide Wheat, L.L.C. (W3) is different from other plant breeding companies. It is independent. While it has relationships with many different clients, it does not work exclusively with any single entity. It identifies industry requirements and either has, or creates, varieties to satisfy the industry needs. It will review its existing databank of varieties to match with the needs of a potential customer and, if none are immediately available, will breed the unique and desired variety.
W3 employs the Male Sterile Facilitated Recurrent Selection (MSFRS) breeding system, providing new varieties in 2 to 3 years in far greater numbers than can be developed by the Pedigree method that may take 10 or more years to develop a new variety from its inception.
W3 does not employ the Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) methodology. Our method of plant breeding is purely conventional and is based on the MSFRS method. MSFRS is a dramatically advanced genetic improvement process. It allows for the extensive combination of widely varied genes, and the rapid production of new varieties.

: Persyst Development Corporation
An old Japanese proverb says, "If you sit on a stone for three years, you will get used to it." Have you become used to seizure detection that is far less sensitive than needed, and marks far too many false positives to be truly useful? Have you become used to off-line continuous EEG monitoring of your critically-ill patients, because the on-line seizure detection and trending tools are either too simple to be useful, or too complex to be useable? Have you become used to frequent problems with recording quality and inaccurate trending? Persyst Development Corporation, the largest provider of EEG software worldwide, has developed a solution that's both powerful and easy-to-use.

: BioSense International
Founded in January 2006, BioSense International, Inc. (BSI) manufactures instruments and reagents used for the rapid detection and characterization of pathogens in water. The core technology for bacteria detection and identification was invented at the Arizona State University Water Quality Center (patent pending). We obtained an exclusive, worldwide license from ASU to design, manufacture and sell instruments that utilize this technology.
Why we are doing this:
There is a need in today's growing water distribution market for rapid detection of pathogens. Current methods take 24-72 hours to incubate and manually count the Colony Forming Units (CFU) in a cultured sample. The implication of slow detection of contamination can be drastic, resulting in serious illness in large populations, and possibly death. Our mission is to make this technology available for the benefit of mankind by detecting water contamination very quickly, so that preventive measures can be taken promptly to protect people.
What we need to do next:
Submit our technology to EPA in order to obtain approval under Alternate Test Procedure (ATP). This will basically allow water testing laboratories to use our instrument instead of the current methods that are too slow.
Present our technology to the Department of Homeland Security and make them aware that such a technology exists.
Contact water testing laboratories and research facilities who are willing to work with us for field validation and qualification. We are providing a very aggressive discount before EPA approval is issued, so that the market for this technology can be paved by early adopters.
Who we are looking for:
Strategic partners in the water industry. We are also looking for established sales representatives and distributors in the water testing market worldwide.

In the East Valley, our Chandler Regional Medical Center has been serving families for almost 50 years.

The Sisters of Mercy was founded in the early 1800s in Ireland by Sister Catherine McAuley who had a special love for the virtue of mercy.
The Sisters' philosophy is based on the Judeo-Christian ethics of faith and love, and is expressed in service, compassion and the recognition of each person's basic human right to be treated with dignity and respect. The Sisters of Mercy first came to the Valley in 1892 to build Sacred Heart School in Phoenix. It wasn't long before they took up another cause: to care for the tuberculosis sufferers who often died alone. The Sisters were so moved by the sick that in 1895 they opened Arizona's first hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital. Under the sponsorship of the Sisters of Mercy, and in response to the changing needs of the people of the East Valley, CHW hospitals offer quality and compassionate care within the CHW values of Dignity, Collaboration, Justice, Stewardship and Excellence. In keeping with Mercy order's commitment to healing, we are dedicated to providing programs that foster wellness of body, mind and spirit.

: Kronos Longevity Research Institute
Kronos Longevity Research Institute (KLRI) is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that conducts state-of-the-art clinical translational research on the prevention of age-related diseases and the extension of healthier human life. KLRI tests new strategies to detect and prevent chronic diseases associated with aging and investigates the effects of innovative interventions to slow the aging process and improve health outcomes for older persons. In addition, KLRI helps the medical and lay communities understand important aging issues. KLRI research findings support a healthier quality of life and a robust lifestyle in our senior years.
Our Mission
KLRI is dedicated to understanding the human aging process and preventing age-related disease. KLRI conducts and fosters research that moves basic discoveries into clinical practice and communicates our research results to scientific and healthcare professionals and to the public so that people may enjoy longer and healthier lives.
What Is Translational Research?
Translational research takes promising findings from the basic research laboratory and carries them forward into the clinical arena. It is the link between basic research (experiments done with animals or cultured cells, genes, etc.) and improved clinical care. It requires controlled studies of living human subjects.
KLRI is performing research to extend our healthy years by improving muscle strength, understanding the role of various nutritional components in our diets, and achieving a better grasp of human aging physiology.
There are many anti-aging remedies and recommendations on the market today. However, most lack scientific evidence, while having potential side effects. We need reputable scientific organizations to spearhead research to further our understanding of treatments developed to increase our healthy years.
KLRI differs from most research institutions because we have a wide range of scientific expertise and we focus on the overall effects of aging, rather than disease cures. Safety is also an important element to KLRI, as all studies are carefully performed and accurately communicated. Our scientists are experts in their fields and conscience driven to perform at their highest possible level.

: Piezo Energy Technologies
Do you use batteries in remote locations that can’t be accessed for replacement? Consider active wireless recharging or passive recharging in situ through energy harvesting using our two patented and patent-pending technologies.
The first application of our technologies has been to power medical devices implanted in the human body. Ultrasound Electrical Recharging (USER) uses ultrasound waves to transfer energy through an intervening medium to a receiver and then to a rechargeable battery or capacitor. Energy harvesting takes advantages of the natural forces within the human body such as joint and muscle movement or heartbeat.
With USER we have transmitted power wirelessly by transfering energy through an intervening medium to a receiver and then to a rechargeable battery or capacitor. We have transmitted power wirelessly through water, tissue, a tissue mimicking liquid, metals and plastic, in the thickness range of 0.1 to 20 cm. Wireless power transmission of over a watt through 1 cm of a tissue mimicking liquid has been demonstrated. The method can be applied to implanted medical devices such as drug pumps, sensors, and neurostimulators.
In piezoelectric energy harvesting, the element subject to forces in the body creates an electric current and charge that can be transferred to a capacitor or rechargeable battery. Capacitor charging power of almost 2 mW has been demonstrated in the laboratory. The storage device can then power (for example) a medical device that has low power requirements such as a pacemaker.

: InVoy Technologies LLC
Invoy's patented and patent-pending, hand-held human breath sensors are positioned to aid in managing certain diseases and health conditions. Our initial focus is assisting with obesity management and prevention of diabetic coma.
Why Human Breath?
Human breath is rich with analytes which can indicate dynamic physiological changes of health and disease.
Breath analysis for home diagnostics provides several advantages over other methods of analysis. Urine analysis has been criticized as being inaccurate. Blood tests are painful, which leads to low compliance. Fecal analysis is inconvenient for home users. Sweat samples are commonly contaminated with hair or dead skin. Accordingly, breath provides a compelling medium for home diagnostics.
At Invoy, human breath is viewed as a noninvasive portal to understanding the workings of the human body. There are an estimated 200 analytes in human breath. Invoy’s breath sensing technology is designed to measure analytes in human breath in a portable, user friendly, and inexpensive manner.
The Invoy Solution
Our planned product is positioned to achieve an exciting goal: within seconds of exhaling into a hand-held breath analyzer, the user obtains objective information about his or her health. The immediacy and objectivity of this information, we hope, will help the user better understand and improve his or her condition.
Invoy plans to introduce a line of breath monitors that: (1) are capable of field-analysis; (2) can make assessments without expensive and cumbersome support equipment; (3) can sense in real or near real-time; and (4) remain accurate and precise in the hands of the general public.

: Integrated Biomolecule Corp.
With 18 years of experience under our belt in the biotech industry, throughout which have always provided chemical synthesis services, we have a comprehensive understanding and respect for the business. We know what our clients are looking for in terms of quality and service, and we are well practiced in how best to meet those needs.
Much of our success is attributable to our approach, both in the lab and in our business strategy.
In The Lab
The general trend in synthetic production is to quickly synthesize the desired material, deferring the resulting inefficiencies to purification. Less attention is paid to the mechanics of synthesis. The result is crude compounds with low purity, low yields and difficult, time-consuming and expensive purification. Under these conditions production can be a challenge; sometimes completion of the compound is impossible.
We have a radically different approach: place the emphasis on the synthesis. Our scrupulous attention to the chemistries and techniques employed results in crude compounds with high purity, high yields and simplified purification. This approach yields substantial savings in both time and money.
Business Strategy
IBC focuses its efforts on providing the synthesis of organic compounds while operating out of several laboratories. Having multiple laboratories available, each with its own core competency, allows IBC to provide a wide range of chemicals while maintaining that focus necessary to provide the finest quality materials in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Since we produce what we sell we have direct control over all aspects of production, and by dealing directly with our clients we eliminate the several-fold increase the catalogue houses have to charge in order to support the overhead. An added bonus for our clients is that when you buy from us you have a direct connection with the manufacturer of the products you use.

: C-Pharma
C-Pharma is a privately-held biopharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization of life-saving products targeted for sale in the multi-billion dollar global hepatitis C market. Infection with the highly contagious hepatitis C virus ("HCV") has grown into a global epidemic, with over 250 million people infected with the virus worldwide - about 4% of the world's population. Becasue of the lack of a large-scale effort to contain the spread of this virus, the death rate from hepatitis C has surpassed that of HIV/AIDS, and will continue to get worse. Over 80% of people infected with HCV go on to a chronic infection phase. Chronic infection with HCV leads to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer, and is the leading cause of liver transplantation in the Western World. The current combination drug therapies have limited activity and no preventative vaccine has been commercialized to date.
C-Pharma is on a mission to develop and commercialize less expensive and better tolerated anti-viral therapies and a preventative vaccine made from virus-like particles (VLPs). VLPs are a groundbreaking, new vaccine technology that activates the immune system to prevent and treat HCV diseases. The nearly 100% effective Gardasil® marketed by Merck is a VLP-based vaccine developed against human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the 3 marketed hepatitis B vaccines are VLP-based vaccines. VLPs are self-assembled protein spheres made from the viral proteins that make up the viral structure. These three dimensional, multi-antigen particles have already proven to be safer and more effective preventative vaccines and may be used as anti-viral therapies as well. C-Pharma is the only company with a VLP vaccine under development to prevent and eliminate HCV infection.
C-Pharma’s operational focus is to create near-term shareholder value over the next two years by gaining regulatory approval to market and sell our own brand of HCV anti-viral drugs (ribavirin and pegylated-alpha2b-interferon), and completing a Phase I clinical trial with our bivalent VLP vaccine for prevention of HCV infection. The medical need for HCV vaccines to prevent the disease, more affordable anti-viral therapies targeted against this deadly disease, our experienced management team, the near-term clinical and regulatory endpoints, our protected intellectual properties regarding HCV VLPs, the ability to attract corporate partners, and the large revenue potential makes C-Pharma a compelling investment opportunity.

: TGen Clinical Research Services
With nearly 30 active clinical trials for advanced and/or rare cancers, TCRS is one of the leading centers for Phase I oncology trials in the nation. Clinical trials with agents directed at specific targets in patients' tumors were launched in November 2005. These clinical trials give options that did not exist before to Phoenix-area patients as well as patients from all over the country. TCRS is conducting clinical trials across a number of cancer types. Further development of cancer specific divisions in pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, leukemia, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma are under development.
In addition to clinical trials, a molecular profiling pilot study has been designed and implemented to test the hypothesis that treatment with a cancer agent selected based on the unique molecular profile of a patient's tumor may be more beneficial than a treatment selected based on the specific cancer type.
Patient participation in clinical trials is a necessary component to the research process. According to the National Institutes for Health, only 3% of adults with cancer are participating in clinical trials. At TCRS, the clinical trial participation rate is a remarkable 60%. Interestingly, a recent study shows that if given the opportunity and access to clinical trials, 63% of the population would participate, according to a survey by the Charlton Research Co.
Patient participation in clinical trials at TCRS includes:
- 125 visits per month
- 35-45 new patients per month
- 400-600 patient samples collected per month
For ALL patients inquiring about a particular study, please contact patient care coordinator, Joyce Ingold.

: Protein Genomics, Inc.
Protein Genomics was originally formed in 1993 in Princeton, New Jersey to capitalize on opportunities presented by rapid progress in the fields of genomics, the study of the structure and function of genetic material, and proteomics, the systematic analysis of protein expression in healthy and diseased tissue. These scientific tools are being used to design entirely unique products with enhanced performance in the areas of personal care and wound healing.
The basic genetic database of human biopolymers that give strength and elasticity to the lung, arteries, skin and other tissues can be accessed from the Human Genome Project. The Company supplements this information extensively with a collected private database of genetic sequences from human tissues. This private database guides the design of customized biopolymers such as elastin to increase their performance, strength, utility and appeal.
To manufacture the desired polymers in quantity, their design is incorporated into custom synthesized DNA and the DNA introduced into bacteria, yeasts or green plants, such as alfalfa. The new hosts read the introduced DNA and make the designed polymer in the host tissues in amounts of up to 1 gram per Kg dry weight of plants. Bacteria and yeasts are cuotivated by fermentation. The plants are cultivated hydroponically, harvested and the polymer extracted.
Sophisticated custom designed and manufactured biopolymers such as those developed by Protein Genomics are currently not offered for sale in any application, providing Protein Genomics unique opportunities in the marketplace.
: Genomics USA, Inc.
Genomics USA, Inc. (GenUSA) plans to become a leader in the design, development and sale of low cost microarray products to support the new field of personalized medicine with a specific focus on diagnostic tests which require sets of 100-300 functionally relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
The current understanding of the biology and genetics of complex disease suggests that such sets of 100-300 SNPs will provide valuable data that correlate genetic variability with the disease indication. However none of the existing technologies can address that need in a simple, high throughput, and cost-effective manner.
The Company will use its unique DNA fingerprinting capability based on its own micro array technology (US Patent 7,354,710) to detect DNA sequence change in a simple, accurate and inexpensive, but highly parallel fashion.
The Human Leukocyte Antigen locus, which is part of the Major Histocompatibility Complex, is ideally suited for this type of analysis because of the clinically validated association between HLA alleles and organ transplantation, and the growing market based on HLA variation in stem cell response, vaccination response, HIV, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and cancer.
The primary focus of the Company, therefore, over the next few years will be to develop and market (ultimately with a partner) an "HLA DNA Chip" and an "HLA Protein Chip" along with associated consumables and software. By focusing on HLA typing, the Company hopes to position itself as a leader in the diagnostic space with a pipeline of unique products for a variety of disease indications.
The HLA Genotyping Chip product development efforts have been funded by a Phase I SBIR grant for $500K (awarded in May 2004), a Phase II grant application for $3 million (awarded in July 2006) and most recently (August 2009) by a Phase II continuation grant ($2.5 million).
For all products and markets, GenUSA products will be simpler to use and involve a much smaller capital equipment cost to the user than the current state-of-the art: the net effect being a material cost reduction of at least ½ and operational cost savings of 3-5 fold.

: CardioNet
CardioNet has developed an integrated technology and service–Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry™ (MCOT™)—which enables heartbeat-by-heartbeat, ECG monitoring, analysis and response, at home or away, 24/7/365.
CardioNet is focused on helping physicians diagnose and treat patients with arrhythmias.
Time is of the essence in diagnosing and treating arrhythmias. Delays can lead to increased morbidity and mortality and cause significant anxiety for patients. But rapidly diagnosing and effectively treating patients with arrhythmia can be challenging.
Some arrhythmias occur too infrequently to be detected through 24-48 hours of Holter monitoring. Event recorders pose problems with asymptomatic patients and those who have difficulty triggering monitoring equipment. Correlating events with symptoms is often difficult.
CardioNet offers physicians a powerful diagnostic and patient management tool to address these challenges.

: PetroSun Inc.
Algae
We recognize a rapidly changing global environment - unpredictable climate changes, scarce raw materials, reduction in productive land and explosive population growth - will continue to deplete our finite natural resources. Wordwide dependence on fossil fuels has created a global challenge that extends well into the 21st Century.
PetroSun, through our wholly owned subsidiary PetroSun BioFuels, is committed to becoming a worldwide leader in the development and deployment of renewable energy resources.
Renewable energy technologies are natural energy sources that can supply our needs in a sustainable way, reduce air and water pollution, improve soil quality, minimize erosion, and preserve our precious eco-system. Renewable energy can also increase our energy security by reducing our dependence on foreign oil and improving the lives of individuals through local job creation.
Algae-to-Biofuels
Plants such as soybeans and sunflowers produce oil, that can be used to make biofuels. Although these crops have received a lot of media attention in the last several years, they require intensive management and may not be sustainable in the long term due to rising development and production costs. We believe a different type of oil crop that holds great promise for the future is microalgae.
Extensive research was conducted to determine the utilization of microalgae as an energy source, with applications being developed for biodiesel, ethanol, and bioplastics. Independent studies have demonstrated that algae is capable of producing in excess of 30 times more oil per acre than corn and soybean crops. Biodiesel produced from algae contains no sulfur, is non-toxic and highly biodegradable.
One of the biggest advantages of biodiesel compared to many other alternative transportation fuels is that it can be used in existing diesel engines, which relieves manufacturers of having to make costly engine modifications. Biodiesel can also be mixed, at any ratio, with conventional petroleum diesel. As a result, the alternative fuel can be used in the current distribution infrastructure, replacing petroleum diesel either wholly, or as a diesel fuel blend with minimal integration costs.
: Energy Derived LLC
Algae
From NSF SBIR description: This SBIR Phase I project will develop a microalgae harvesting system for separating biomass from a water-based growth medium. Specifically, it will evaluate and model properties of several species of microalgae for removal and separation from a growth medium utilizing electrostatic properties and process.
The broader/commercial impact of the proposed project will be to advance the state-of-the-art of separating and removing micro-algae from its growth medium and improving the efficiency of harvesting high energy content microalgae for biofuel. Further, it could provide an important step toward reducing the U.S. dependence on fossil fuels.
: Verde Biofuel
Verde Biofuel, although founded in 2008, was actually born in an old barn, somwhere back east, about 200 years ago. The inspiration behind our little company based in Jerome, Arizona, came from old barnwood that is brought back to this historic ghost town and recycled as furniture by another Jerome based company, Western Heritage Furniture. In an effort to expand their commitment to their environmental resposibilities, Western Heritage Furniture decided to run 100% biodiesel in all their delivery vehicles - which deliver furniture to 150 retailers in 30 states.
After four years, thousands of gallons of biodiesel and countless hours of research and development, Verde Biofuel was officially founded. Tim McClellan, CEO of Western Heritage Furniture, along with brothers John and Dennis, began manufacturing Verde Biotrailers™ and have already shipped units all around the country. Armed with the knowledge and experience from the rigourous testing performed over the last few years, John, our engineer, has developed what we believe is the best biodiesel processor out there, when compared to others in our price range.
After experiencing the benefits of processing and using biodiesel first hand, the brothers McClellan realized the next step along their "green" path would be to reach out, educate and inspire people within the community to make a change. We continue to provide demonstrations at schools, for town councils and even fire departments. This outreach has helped make Verde Biofuel a success not only in our own community, but in communities from here to the east coast. . . and we anticipate implementing systems in other parts of the globe in the near future.
By providing an affordable solution that will accomodate the fuel needs beyond the typical home brewer; by maintaining our commitment to educate ourselves as well as others; by understanding that we are "all in this together", Verde Biofuel is proud to help facilitate a means to a more sustainable, environmentally conscience and economically intelligent world, one community at a time.

: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
(Sales office)
Air Products was established in 1940 in Detroit, Michigan, on the strength of a simple but then revolutionary idea: the “on-site” concept of producing and selling industrial gases, primarily oxygen. At the time, most oxygen was sold as a highly compressed gas product in cylinders that weighed five times more than the gas itself. Air Products proposed building oxygen gas generating facilities adjacent to large-volume users, thereby reducing distribution costs. The concept of piping the gas directly from the generator to the point of use proved sound and technically solvable.

: PBS-Bio (Predictive Biomarker Sciences)
PBS-Bio (Predictive Biomarkers Services) is a privately held company incorporated in January 2006 by Edward A. Smith, MD, MPH, Paul Kreutz, Esq., and Brian Smith, Esq. The incorporation is the result of research performed in the Cancer Genetics Branch of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institute of Health and later in Phoenix, Arizona's non-profit Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen).
The purpose of the PBS-Bio technology is to make pre-clinical research more predictive of actual patient outcomes. The reasons for the failure of targeted oncology drugs is quite varied and often not well known. Even when the receptor responsible for signaling for the particular tumor is known, a drug that targets this receptor usually is not capable of producing significant responses in most tumors, e.g., EGFR inhibitors ineffective in presence of KRAS mutation, or activation of the PI3K pathway to overcome EGFR blockade.
PBS-Bio technology analyzes primary tumor cell lines' responses to investigational drugs through the use of several types of fluorescent reporters observed over a time-course. Quantification is done by microscopic scanning of cells in culture in multi-well plates using the InCell 3000 laser microscope coupled with robotics that scans a 384 well plate every hour.
Since multiple gene reporters are examined in multiple primary tumor cell types up to 144,000 scans could be required for one drug study. Analysis of these images requires proprietary image processing software running on TGen's 1300 node supercomputer.
After segmenting nuclei and reporter images containing cells, time-course graphs are created showing a real-time picture of the effect of a drug on multiple pathways simultaneously.
This results in a detailed understanding of molecular mechanisms for drug susceptibility and resistance. This also leads to further experiments using combinatorial regimens as well as a means for identifying patients most likely to respond to the investigational drug.

: NuvOx Pharma LLC
NuvOx Pharma LLC is a Bio-Medical Nano-Technology company based in Tucson, Arizona. Forty years of industry experience drives NuvOx Pharma into exciting bio-technology advancements in therapeutic approaches to cancer, hemorrhagic shock, traumatic brain injnury and stroke. The core technology of NuvOx is utilizing one particular perfluorocarbon, dodecafluoropentane (DDFP), which provides multiple advantages for respiratory gas transfer and can be applied to a host of therapeutic indications.
Due to their inherent structure, extreme stability and relative lack of inter-molecular attractive forces, perfluorocarbons are known to carry large payloads of gas such as oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. The main advantage to using DDFP is that it is a liquid at room temperature and ambient pressure, but expands to the gas state at 29 degrees C and ambient pressure. Therefore, upon intravenous injection (at biological temperature (37 degrees C) and standard vascular pressures), a certain amount of expansion occurs in the bloodstream to allow even larger amounts of respiratory gases to be carried.
