Natural Building Systems

Suitable for buildings up to 18m in height, the ADEPT system is a fully integrated prefabricated construction solution comprising a breathable thermal envelope, cladding, internal walls, internal finishes and MEP services. The system can be delivered in panelised or volumetric elements, or both, according to client requirements. Standardised, repeated elements combine with optimal material efficiency to make a system which is affordable, scalable, quick to build and suitable for awkward access or infill sites. Demountable panels and components allow partial or complete disassembly, re-use and a circular economy of parts, as well as non-destructive alterations during the lifetime of the building.

Spatial Audio Creator Ltd

The company are developing and creating a unique new audio software system, which will allow users to easily create realistic Spatial Audio tracks from existing low-res, stereo audio tracks, by simply uploading and converting them using our unique Spatial Audio Software via a web-based interface, rather than expensively re-recording audio with 3D audio recording techniques. Expertise is sought from a software development company to develop the bridge software code to interface between the company's existing software & website and the Spatial Audio Software itself, passing the audio file from their website to the converter and back again, and provide file management systems to the audio files (verification, storage & deletion on completion of task).

Consultancy Grants

Warren Larkin Associates

There are three main problems our product seeks to address: - Clinical / professional supervision is provided inconsistently and poorly evidenced in the NHS. It is hard to prove compliance. - There are no measures of the effectiveness of supervision in regular use in the NHS. We don’t have any indication of benefit for staff or patients. - The workforce is in decline, many are exhausted and sickness absence is too high in many areas, which leads to reduced productivity and care quality. The system cannot afford to lose any more qualified staff. The software would be used by both supervisors and supervisees to facilitate and record sessions, thus allowing NHS organisations to evidence the compliance with professional and internal standards and demonstrate this to external regulators such as the (CQC) Care Quality Commission.
