Non-Hallucinogenic TrkB Positive Allosteric Modulator (PAM) Antidepressant
PsychologyPsychedelics and Drug Studies

A drug that mimics the fast-acting antidepressant and neuroplasticity effects of psychedelics by directly binding the BDNF receptor TrkB at high affinity, without activating serotonin 5-HT2A receptors and thus without hallucinations.

SLC25A45-Based GLP-1RA Response Diagnostic
Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyMetabolism and Genetic Disorders

A diagnostic test to identify patients who are likely to be resistant to GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) weight-loss drugs based on SLC25A45 genetic variants or expression levels.

Endocrinologists and obesity clinics can use this to personalize treatment plans for patients prescribed GLP-1RAs (e.g., Semaglutide), ensuring the drug is only administered to those biologically capable of the required fuel-switching to fatty acid oxidation.

BankTrace: Fluorocarbon Bank Intelligence for Carbon Markets
EngineeringVehicle emissions and performance

A data service that maps where produced-but-not-yet-emitted HCFCs and HFCs are 'banked' in installed equipment (fridges, AC units, foams) by region and life-cycle stage, so refrigerant recovery projects can target the highest-impact stockpiles and generate verifiable carbon credits.

Carbon credit project development and refrigerant recovery/destruction

#1065
SLC25A45-Based GLP-1RA Responder Diagnostic
Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyMetabolism and Genetic Disorders

A companion diagnostic that uses SLC25A45 genetic variants and plasma trimethyllysine-to-carnitine ratios to predict whether a patient will lose adipose tissue on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide) before expensive treatment begins.

#1555
MemoryFit: Fractional-Order Modeling Toolkit for Predictive Maintenance of Rotating Machinery

A software toolkit that uses fractional-order differential equations to model the 'memory effects' in vibrating, aging machinery—capturing wear and material fatigue more accurately than standard models so factories can predict failures earlier.

Industrial predictive maintenance for rotating and structural machinery (manufacturing, energy, heavy industry)

AffordanceForge: A Reliability & Audit Compiler for Fixed-Model LLM Agents

A middleware layer that wraps any existing LLM (without retraining it) in typed action handles, validators, rollback paths, and authority scopes, then emits auditable certificates proving the agent's operational reliability. It makes off-the-shelf models safer and more capable by redesigning the world around them, not the weights inside them.
