TTI is a company that searches for
auspicious technologies to commercialize and bring to market. TTI
will acquire licenses and/or patents, identify interested buyers,
and negotiate the technology transfer. Some of the most innovative
technology transfers involve collaborative projects with industry.
For certain exceptional opportunities, TTI will make the transfer to
its wholly owned subsidiary,
Organic Products International. TTI
seeks socially responsible, leading edge technologies that are
significant improvements over existing applications and that present
a global market once fully developed. TTI will fund the completion
of research and testing, acquire licenses and/or patents and bring
the technologies to market. When new products are developed, the
processes of performing multiple tests, standardizing manufacturing,
applying for patents and obtaining governmental approval is time
intensive and costly.
The story of researchcompleted projects being
orphaned by universities, research facilities and companies is all
too common. Significant opportunities exist in the patent
procurement arena, as currently only 1% to 5% of all patented
technology gets commercialized.
Some of our current
products include:
Flash OFF
Flash OFF which is a rust preventative designed to inhibit flash
rusting on low carbon steel. When paint and other coatings are
stripped from steel in preparation for re-coating, a logistical time
delay is often present. During this time delay, which can be short,
or extended, flash rusting can occur. The rusting and corrosion of
unprotected steel can adversely affect the performance of the steel
resulting in many types of failures.
A study entitled “Corrosion Costs and
Preventative Strategies in the United States” conducted by CC
Technologies, with support from the Federal Highway Administration
and National Association of Corrosion Engineers, estimates the total
direct cost of corrosion in the U.S. is $137.9 billion annually.
EcoAvenger
EcoAvenger is an environmentally safe technology that is an
all natural, antimicrobial liquid designed to eradicate
citrus canker. TTI has partnered with a contract
manufacturer in order to obtain an EPA label for this
uniquely patented product and management strongly believes
that it will be secured within a year. Citrus canker is a disease caused by the
bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodis. It is a highly contagious
disease and can be spread rapidly by:
- Windborne rain
- Lawnmowers and other landscaping
equipment
- People carrying the infection on
their hands, clothes or equipment
- Moving infected or exposed
plants or plant parts
In one study by the University of
Florida it was estimated that citrus canker reduces the pack out
rate of fresh fruit for market by as much as one third. Florida
alone has a $9 billion commercial citrus industry. Revenue lost from
diseased citrus has been estimated as high as $9.8 million annually
in Florida alone. |
