Cynvenio’s technology is aimed at substantially improving the treatment of cancer patients via the comprehensive molecular analysis of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) present in their peripheral blood and collected with a simple blood draw. The information derived from this “liquid biopsy” can inform physicians about disease progression or recurrence, patient resistance to treatment, and to formulate a targeted therapy for each patient.

“Up to now CTC platforms have been primarily concerned with finding and counting CTCs, which are certainly very rare and challenging to isolate. Our approach from the onset was to develop a system capable not only of efficient CTC isolation and enumeration, but to also provide the molecular characterization of the target cells. This allows cancer researchers and physicians to make clinically relevant decisions about their drugs and their patients,” said Cynvenio Biosystems’ CEO and Director, André de Fusco. “In the future this technology has the potential to become part of the standard of care for its ability to validate cancer therapies, reduce adverse reactions in patients, and increase the efficacy of cancer treatments.”

Future in Review is an annual gathering of world-class thought leaders in technology and economics.  FiRe attendees convene each year with the goal of solving major world problems; a goal that is consistently met through FiRe’s collaboration across disparate industries and the intellectual and strategic guidance of FiRe Chair and SNS CEO, Mark Anderson. Now in its ninth year, Future in Review 2011 will take place May 24-27th at the beautiful Montage Resort in Laguna Beach, California. The Economist has called FiRe “The best technology conference in the world.”

“Cynvenio is pursuing another branch in the most productive anti-cancer path we’ve seen, which is to use the body’s own cells in the fight. In this case, they are assuring deadly accuracy against the cancer itself.  We are proud to highlight their work, and look forward to future successes,” said Anderson, FiRe Chair and SNS CEO.

Easy Energy Systems was founded in 2006 to address the US energy focus on clean energy, the need to replace dependence on fossil fuel with renewable Biofuels, mandated ethanol usage around the world to reduce greenhouse gases, and the revitalization of rural America.

EES has developed a Modularized Ethanol Production System (MEPS^®) that is fully self-contained, fully automatic and pre-built in a factory to be easily shipped anywhere in the world and assembled like Lego ^™ blocks to build any size ethanol plant. Using proprietary technology, the company has successfully produced cellulosic ethanol in its pilot plant and is focused on the entire waste to energy market sector, utilizing such feed stocks as waste milk byproducts, waste paper, waste soda pop, waste wood and waste crop residue such as corn cobs. The MEPS unit is a solution to the “Achilles Heel” of ethanol production in that the automated economical smaller size units can be located closer to bulky waste feed stocks, eliminating large transportation costs and energy inefficiencies. The modular and scalable design allows for ethanol production to be tested on feed stocks in a limited fashion – and then expanded to any size. The company has patents pending on its technology.

“We are delighted to have been selected as one of the top 12 potentially world changing technologies by Future in Review. Waste streams are the low-hanging fruit of non-corn renewable bio fuels that can be capitalized on today. Because we can do this on a small scale, wasted products that may have never been considered for ethanol production in the past are now prime candidates for conversion into transportation fuel or electricity with MEPS®. It is this transformation of the world’s waste into energy, whether a landfill in the USA or a remote village in India, that will lessen the need for dependence on foreign oil, provide rural wealth creation, and enable us to achieve our company mission to Fuel the World^® ,” said EES Chairman and Founder, Mark Gaalswyk.

The Blue Lava Technologies product “iLovePhotos” is free software for your Mac that solves a very simple problem: people have too many photos on their hard drive, and they never have time to look at them. iLovePhotos uses facial detection to make it effortless to organize, share, and enjoy your photos. Its desktop software applies advanced technology to automatically create personalized slideshows for your friends and family to watch on the Web, iPhone, and TV. Given thousands of personal photos, iLovePhotos automatically creates new 60-second slideshows every day. It’s like a personalized radio station for your pictures.

iLovePhotos is not creating a photo management platform as much as a photo enjoyment platform. Unlike traditional photo platforms that emphasize archiving, organization, or printing, iLovePhotos sees organizing as a necessary evil. Its technology makes organization extremely fast and simple, but the end goal is to use organizational data to make it effortless to enjoy your photos in a slideshow format on any platform. Put simply: iLovePhotos brings your photos back into your life.

Tigo Energy was nominated by SNS Member Rick LeFaivre, Managing Director of OVP Venture Partners (http://ovp.com).

Tigo Energy’s Jeffrey Krisa, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, states: “This year there will be over $500M in lost economic value from the PV solar installations made in 2008 due to the inefficiency of harvesting power output from the modules. While the solar industry invests heavily to bring new photovoltaic material to market to address future cost and efficiency, Tigo Energy has developed a Distributed Inverter System Solution which will immediately return from 7-20% upside power from today’s traditionally architected systems. As a “CapEx neutral” system, achieved through the re-partitioning of system electronics, the value of increased power generation is available to the system owner in the first year. Operational expenses (cost-of-ownership) are also reduced through increased system reliability, safety enhancements, and advanced module-level management for granular maintenance and warrantee service.”
