Resensys now has more than 100 major customers and has acquired more than $5.1 million in combined grant money and sales. The company employs four full-time and five part-time employees. Resensys is seeking approval from state and federal authorities for its sensor technologies.

Resensys’ SenSpot sensors are currently installed on hundreds of major bridges in the U.S. and around the World. In Maryland, more than 20 fracture-critical bridges have been monitored since 2012.

Kalantari is a serial entrepreneur. He also founded the technology behind (and the company) Macrophage, which later became RioRey. He won funding in the University of Maryland $75K Business Plan Competition for both companies.

Juxtopia® developed a speech enhancement product based on this algorithm, which eliminated noise from speech signals. Juxtopia® planned to integrate the noise-reduction software product into its headset and license it to other headset manufacturers and speech service vendors. The company also attracted several SBIR/STTR grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as NASA and the Department of Defense (DOD), to advance its Juxtopia® wearable augmented reality for improving human performance®.

The two-phase project resulted in a design for TRX’s tracking accessory enclosure. While the packaging has evolved, the basic design and materials were developed during the project.

TRX has received $2.9 million in funding through three investment rounds from four investors, including New Dominion Angels, the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development, Motorola Solutions Venture Capital, and several other strategic and private investors.

The company has released three products, all of which use the NEON location solutions ability to locate and map where GPS is unavailable or unreliable, such as indoors and underground:

• Personnel Tracker, a comprehensive indoor location solution delivering team situational awareness and tracking for security, public safety, and enterprise users.

• Signal Mapper, which offers automated geo-referencing and 3D visualization for test and measurement applications, including Land Mobile Radio (LMR), cellular (LTE), WiFi, BLE, radiation, and other sensor mapping.

• Squad Tracker, which provides a resilient indoor and outdoor GPS-denied location and navigation solution for the dismounted soldier.

In February, 2017, Houston police used the TRX NEON Personnel Tracker Solution to help ensure public safety in NRG Stadium for Super Bowl LI. The NEON solution used the Harris County Public Safety Broadband network at NRG Park and allowed each officer to be tracked in 3D from the command center throughout the nearly 2 million square feet of NRG Stadium. GPS could not be used since the roof over the stadium was closed during the game.

This MIPS project enabled Cellex to gather clinical data, which helped the company get a $2 million NIH grant, which in turn permitted the company to perform a large clinical study enrolling more than 500 patients. The data from the MIPS and NIHfunded studies was submitted to the FDA in September, 2012, in an application for approval for Cellex’s first product, the QFlu Combo Test, which can be used to simultaneously diagnose influenza and detect resistance to Tamiflu. This is a first-of-its-kind product that has commercial potential and public health implications.

Other than the qFLU combo Test, the assay was also configured into a diagnostic-use only test, the qFLU Dx Test. The qFLU tests are the only tests that do not detect viral proteins (antigens) or nucleic acids, and are less susceptible to genetic changes of flu viruses. Both the qFLU Combo Test and qFLU Dx Test have now been CE-marked.
