Current Gap Projects
ONAMI is developing commercial capabilities for micro- and nanotechnologies as applied to sustainable, clean, green and efficient manufacturing methods, as well as for healthcare, disease detection and prevention. Breaking News (May 2010):Home Dialysis Plus, Ltd. has received a commitment for $50M in private equity funding from Warburg Pincus, along with venture funding from the Vertical Group, LLC - possibly the largest A-round in Oregon history. For more details, see the May 2010 ONAMI newsletter. News (August 2009):
News (July 2009): News (March 2009): Through our Gap Fund, ONAMI is providing grants for proof-of-concept development for the following programs: Apex Drive Labs / Oregon State UniversityCNXLs / Oregon State University Crystal Clear Technologies / University of Oregon DesignMedix, Inc. / Portland State University Dune Sciences / The University of Oregon Floragenex / The University of Oregon Flash Sensor / Portland State University Home Dialysis Plus / Oregon State University Inpria / Oregon State University MTek / Oregon State University NWUAV / Oregon State University Peregrine Power / Oregon State University Perpetua Power / The University of Oregon Puralytics / Oregon Health Sciences University Trillium FiberFuels, Inc. / Oregon State University ZAPS Technologies / Oregon State University NWUAV / Oregon State University Overview
Principal Investigator: R. Todd Miller, Oregon Health Sciences University Company Contact: Joe Gibbs, Business Development Manager, NW UAV, Incorporated. Description: NWUAV and the Microproducts Breakthrough Institute (MBI) of Oregon State University are working to develop a novel fuel injector capable of atomizing heavy fuels (JP-5) for use in spark ignition engines. Using microchannel structures designed and developed at the MBI, the team will work to enable use of these fuels for unmanned aircraft engines (produced by NWUAV) and with the engines designed and manufactured by NWUAV. The NWUAV/OSU team has developed critical operating specifications for their fuel injection device, allowing it to function at temperatures and altitudes consistent with typical use cases in the field. The team believes the fuel injection device to be developed will also function well for use of heavy fuels for other applications including motor vehicles and tools, a true breakthrough in the use of heavy fuels in spark ignition engines.
