escMode™ Wheel Accessory
The escMode™ Wheel Accessory is an easy-to-use and quick-to-install mechanical wheel attachment of novel design. When mounted to the rear wheels of a standard wheelchair, it enables the wheelchair to traverse down stairways in a safe and stable manner. The venture is a social entrepreneurial endeavour which resolves a social condition of the disabled, particularly the wheelchair-bound during emergencies.
Polyprimer
Development of scratch resistant polycarbonate for the replacement of glass windshields in automobiles. The value proposition translates directly to gas savings and lower cost of an automotive part – the windshield. Incidentally, polycarbonate windshield replacements would gain 3% to 5% in fuel economy. Scratch resistent polycarbonate also holds the potential to disrupt other industries which are dependent on glass, i.e., architectural glass, container glass, and so on.
