Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC) is the formally chartered, nationwide network of over 300 federal laboratories, agencies, and research centers, that fosters commercialization, best practice strategies, and opportunities, for accelerating federal technologies out of the labs and into the marketplace.  The FLC and its members work to bring new technologies out of government labs and into the marketplace—where they can help improve the economy, society, and national security—by partnering with universities, businesses, or state and local governments. This collaborative process is called technology transfer (T2). https://federallabs.org/

RingIR produces portable devices that identify vapors on location and in real-time. Humans are in constant contact with gases of all kinds and produce many themselves. These gases, like oxygen, are essential for life, but some gases can also be extremely harmful. RingIR is revolutionizing gas sensing technology by making molecular fingerprinting possible. All materials are made of molecules, and have uniquely distinguishing spectral characteristics. Each chemical therefore has an optical “molecular fingerprint” just like humans have unique fingerprints. RingIR technology can quickly measure the optical spectrum and identify the distinguishing structure to determine the molecules in the atmosphere. https://ring-ir.com/
