ABsize Incubator:
BIC

Industry:
Pharma / Biotech

Core Technology:
Pharma industry, under great pressure of product patent expiry and generic competition, is urgently looking for best life cycle management strategy. Many marketed drugs and developing candidates have poor water-solubility and/or permeability.

LiNTEC has been developed in Professor Masuhara’s Lab of Osaka University. LiNTEC is a platform technology that prepares long term stable nanoparticles of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), resulting in greatly increased surface area and much improved solubility. Particle size is tunable and typically ranging from 1 to 300 nm. It is an effective solution for poor water-solubility problem and enables the product opportunities of new formulation and delivery format.

ABsize Inc. is a nanotechnology / nanomedicine company. Using its proprietary technology platform, Laser-induced Nanolization Technology (LiNTEC), ABsize is developing a novel nano-drug product pipeline, and partnering with pharma / biotech companies to developing their new products. LiNTEC is a non-thermal and non-contact physical process to nanolize poorly water-soluble molecules without chemical change, thereby increasing water solubility, improving bioavailability, and creating new formulations and delivery route.

Potential Customers/Partners:
Pharma / Biotech companies.		 ABSize

CSE Secure Systems, Inc. Incubator:
BIC

Industry:
IT Security: matrix authentication solution/one time password

Core Technology:
SECUREMATRIX is a unique matrix authentication system developed by CSE (Computer Systems Engineering Co., Ltd.); CSE Secure Systems, Inc. will market the SECUREMATRIX solution in North America.

The SECUREMATRIX authentication solution requires no physical devices such as tokens or IC cards. Instead, each time a user logs in it displays a different set of 64 randomly selected numbers arranged as a matrix table. When first entered into the system, each user chooses an easily remembered pattern and input order with which to select numbers from the table. Application of this pattern and order produces a unique, one time password at each login. Compared to a fixed password solution, which is easily guessed or stolen, our one time password solution dramatically improves security. A steadily increasing number of clients has adopted SECUREMATRIX, with use centering mainly around strengthening authentication during remote access application（As of the end of December 2008, approximately 600 companies with more than 500,000 users had adopted SECUREMATRIX.）Many organizations also use SECUREMATRIX as a solution for strengthening authentication measures in a thin client environment; more and more organizations are adopting thin client systems to cope with pandemic situations or to prevent information leakage as an extension of internal control for risk and business continuity management. In addition, SECUREMATRIX is Windows log-in ready and strengthens authentication during the process. Our clients are very satisfied with SECUREMATRIX and regard it as a uniform authentication infrastructure that reduces administrative effort and operational costs dramatically.

Potential Customers/Partners:
CSE Secure Systems,Inc. will work with both individual and institutional clients who need to access their proprietary data, files or networks easily, securely and cost effectively through the Internet or via Windows login. We also welcome partners who will incorporate SECUREMATRIX into their applications.		 CSE Secure Systems, Inc
