Purestream
In 2007, Purestream formed a strategic partnership with USURF—recognized
throughout the world as a leader in thermal management technologies for spacebased
and terrestrial applications. Following years of exhaustive research and
development, Purestream has positioned itself as a premier developer of oil
and gas field solutions, providing a suite of adaptive systems and solutions that
successfully treat and purify produced water, scrub emissions, and manage water,
oil, and condensate data—all at the well head. |

SensorCAD
SDL recently became partners with Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI) to incorporate
SDL's SensorCAD sensor modeling software tool for electro-optical sensors with
AGI's Satellite Toolkit (STK) modeling platform. Combining SensorCAD with
STK gives users access to sensor modeling capabilities in conjunction with superb
orbit prediction, access and coverage analysis, scenario visualization, and the many
other features of the Satellite Toolkit. |

GeoMetWatch
USU and SDL have teamed with GeoMetWatch on a satellite venture to develop
a remote sensing system designed to observe the Earth's environment and severe
weather from space. Data flowing from these satellites and systems will be
processed into previously unavailable forecasting information that will improve
prediction of severe weather patterns. GeoMetWatch is the first company to
receive a license from the U.S. Government to provide this type of data for
government and commercial applications. |

Thermal Management Technologies
SDL has a strategic partnership with Thermal Management Technologies (TMT),
USURF's first spin-out company. TMT currently offers a wide variety of thermal
management products. Some are designed to control the heat production and
thermal path in a variety of electronic components, including modular satellite
panels, radiators, infrared instruments, and computers. Other products include
thermal management solutions related to challenges in the oil and gas fields. |

Wireless Advanced Vehicle Electrification
WAVE is a developing company focused on demonstrating the technology and
economic feasibility of wireless power transfer for a number of applications
including mass transit, industrial systems, and light-duty vehicles. The primary
obstacle to electric transportation has been the battery life, size, and weight.
WAVE will work to solve this problem by using wireless power transfer, which
works by transferring power from magnets embedded in the roadway into a
receiver plate connected to a small battery pack on the underside of passing
vehicles. This system allows the vehicle to receive continuous charge while driving.
Commercial Enterprises is working to identify funding for the first full-scale
wireless power transfer demonstration program in the state of Utah. |

Occutel
Occutel's technology delivers incredibly accurate occupancy intelligence sensing.
This company has been developed to serve the occupancy sensor market and is
primarily focused on the commercial office space segment. Based on propriety
algorithms developed by EDL, the Occutel camera-based sensor will provide the
ultimate in lighting control technology. The genius of the technology is that it
works with low-cost, off-the-shelf hardware, which drives down costs to make it
price competitive. |
