Argon Design Ltd

wins an Innovation Award for their innovationin the verification of video decoders for high definition (HD 4K) video. HD 4K is an ultra

high definition standard that uses four times as many pixels as standard HD videos. Such high definition has created arequirementf or ever higher

compression of video so that it can be transmitted or stored with lower bit rates. Argon Design works with high profile technology companiesin thedesign of video decoders for displaying HD 4K video and has developed atool, Argon Streams, to comprehensively verify such video decoders

against the new standards. Customers using Argon Streams can fully test their video decoder designs before they begin chip manufacture, whichreduces risk, cost and time to market. The innovation provides both direct income from licenses and consultancy fees and is key to the company’s financial growth. The company was foundedin 2009 and this is its first Queen’s Award.

The silicone-based materials are called Definitive and have been developed to allow silicone hydrogel contact lens manufacturing using lathecutting techniques. Lathe cut contact lenses are usedin the speciality contact lens industry and allow for lenses to be made to measure fo rcomplex corneal shapes. Standard silicone hydrogel materials are too expensive for lathe cutting and require surface treatment that is only economical at large volumes. Contamac Ltdhas developed abreathable silicone hydrogel material that offers more oxygen permeability than traditional hydrogels. Definitive materials do not require coating and can be manufactured appropriately for the 25% of the cont***

James and James Fulfilment Ltd

wins an Innovation Award for its e-commerce order fulfilment system. Today’s fulfilment systems usedby e-retailers may fall short when it comes to monitoring inventory, or checking the status of an orderin answer to acustomer query.

Stored data is often inaccurate and customer service agents need to spend time calling the warehouse to ask for updates, and this cantake several hours. The real-time, cloud-based innovation allows live integration of the entire supply chain connecting the end user withthe suppliers. This means that warehouse operators work on the same underlying data as clients and customer service agents globally.

Customer service queries can be successfully completed while the customer is on the phone, and reports can be accessed from any webconnectedlocation. Since its inceptionin 2010 by two graduates, James Hyde and James Strachan, the company has grown to apermanent

staff of 15 with aturnover of £2.5 million.in strict confidence 21 April 2016 9

Photocentric Ltd

receives an Innovation Award for the development of Imagepac, apatented liquid photopolymerin apouch that makes printingplatemaking faster and easier. Flexography is one of the major forms of industrial printing and is based on the use of stamps made by exposingan image, over alight-reactive gel, to UV light which then solidifies. The traditional process required the manufacturer to create awellin whichthe resin was poured and the image laid above. The pouring of the resin was inaccurate meaning that problems could occur during pouring.

Photocentric Ltd(establishedin 2002) developed the Imagepac, abag containing exactly the right amount of resin which was sealed and wouldremain so until the resin had photoreacted with the negative image. This innovation meant that the process became less messy, costs werereduced and the stamp clarity improved.

Plasticell Limited

wins aQueen’s Award for Innovation for developing asystem, Combicult, that is able to test and select the best methods of differentiating stem cellsin record time. Stem cells are valuable toolsin the next generation of therapeutic approaches but discovering efficientways (called “protocols”) to turn stem cells into target cell types (e.g. heart cells, nerve cells) is extremely difficult, time consuming and resourceintensive. The applicant’s innovation enables the simultaneous testing of up to 100,000 different protocols. To achieve this stem cells are grown onmicrometre-scale beads, that can be subjected to different growing conditions. The beads themselves are tracked so that the researcher knowsexactly what conditions the cells have been through. This innovation allows researchers to test alarge number of new protocolsin parallel anddiscover the most efficient way of differentiating the cells for their needs. Plasticell Limitedhas beenin operation since 2002 and the success of Combicult means that the company has enjoyed rapid growth.in strict confidence 21 April 2016**
