Název projektu:
Compact, Small Volume, Liquid Burst Generator (11 LU 87GA 3NJT)
Popis:
A large US company is looking for a compact, small volume, liquid burst generator that can be integrated into a small medical device. The system should generate liquid burst either on demand or with a tunable frequency.
They are interested in product acquisition, pre-development contract, development contract, joint development, supplier agreement (up to million units/year).
Although flow generator development is a reasonably mature field, the company has struggled to reach the desired performance requirements in a compact form. Equipment developed elsewhere has been too large to be suitable as a component for small medical device applications.
Proposals that adapt existing technologies from printing, medical, automotive, military, animal health or other applications are highly desirable.
The system may be driven by mechanical, electromechanical means. Proposals that use alternate power supplies should indicate the possible consequences to electronics etc.
The following approaches are not of interest:
-Devices which generate a liquid spray or mist.
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
The main system requirements are:
1. Homogeneous/consistent fluid burst matching the profile
2. Typical delivery fluid is water
3. Burst duration (T3-T0) of =0.5 s
4. Flow are between 475-650 ml/min/burst
5. At the maximum flow rate of 650mL/min/burst, the pressure will typically drop by 8 bars due to the geometry of the required fluid channel (connected to the system laser)
6. The burst profile must maintain a minimum flow rate of 475 ml/min/burst for a duration of at least 0.1 s (T2-T1)
7. Time between pulses (Tc) of 0.5 to 1.0 s
8. Preferably offer singular and automatic burst generation
9. Preferably offer a tunable burst profile i.e. able to alter T1-T0, T2-T1, and Tc timings
10. Produce zero fluid flow during the time (Tc) between pulses
11. The system dimensions (excluding water reservoir, tubing, battery) are preferably within a volume of less than 30 cm³
12. Voltage requirements: 1 to 5 volts DC
13. Generator lifetime of 200h
14. Cost, noise and vibrations will be considered as trade-off criteria
15. Generator manufacture must be scalable to million units/year.
Technologies meeting most but not all of these criteria will be considered.
Mature principles or adaptations of existing technologies are preferred. However, less developed approaches will be considered if there is a clear path to commercialization within 12 months.

Požadavky na partnera:
Requested Cooperation: Joint further development
Responses from companies (large or small, startups, etc.), hospital or academic researchers, contract research institutes, pharmacologists, nutritionists, medicinal chemists, drug formulators, biochemists, physiologists, alternative or traditional medicine providers, etc., from around the world are all welcome.
Phase 1a evaluation of economic and operability studies
Phase 1b proof of concept:
-Proposals (technical + cost) including lead times for design and delivery of prototypes for functional testing
-Demonstration of fluid delivery architecture and principle, fluid and pressure measurements
-Illustration of concepts: device compactness, initial cost analysis, power consumption, ideas about noise and vibration levels, reliability benchmark.
Phase 2 product development:
-Prototyping of integrated device, technology optimization, engineering work, manufacturability studies, refined cost analysis, assessment of key component suppliers
-Quotation and lead time for industrialization and commercialization.
Phase 3 industrialization and commercialization.
Criteria for moving from phase 1 to phase 2
Phase 2 is dependent on delivery of functional prototypes that address the required technical criteria and the client's internal commercialization stage-gate review.
Terms for cooperative development will be negotiated as reasonable and customary for the scope of the work and degree of cost reduction achieved in the manufacturing targets.
Note that this profile requires a convincing solution proposal. Please contact your local EEN to get the Response template and find more information on the specific process here: http://www.us-eu-match.com/index.cfm?action=processFlow
