Baylor College of Medicine (BCM)
Indus Instruments has been closely collaborating with world class researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston for the past 15 years. We have successfully worked on many joint Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) projects funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Our collaboration has resulted in commercial products, currently manufactured and marketed by Indus, for cardiovascular and other researchers that enable the doppler ultrasonic monitoring of mice, as well as the temperature control and heart rate monitoring of mice. We have numerous joint publications with BCM and are currently engaged in two more SBIR projects.
Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL)
We worked with researchers from Los Alamos National Labs (LANL) to develop the electronics for instrumentation based on the principle of swept frequency acoustic interferometry (SFAI). This technique allows non-invasive interrogation of fluid filled containers (pipes, artillery shells, etc.) with ultrasound to elicit material properties and can be used in a wide range of fields (chemical weapons treaty compliance verification, contraband detection, octane rating of gasoline, etc.)
Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME)
Kiev, Ukraine
Working with researchers from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering in Kiev, Ukraine, we developed the electronics for ray tracing aberrometers that generate a map of the refractive errors for the human eye. Such instruments are useful for providing accurate diagnostic data needed for custom Lasik surgeries. The end result of our collaboration with IBME is the Visual Function Analyzer for Tracey Technologies Corporation, which we continue to manufacture the electronics under an OEM agreement.
