UWS’s innovation capability was showcased at this year’s second IP Evaluation Panel, which took place on July 5th at the historic Female Orphan School, Parramatta South Campus.

The panel comprised a number of prominent people from within the life science and innovation industries, and academics representing each of UWS’s Colleges, Health Science, Arts and Business and Law. Dr Phil Kearney (Director - External Licensing at Merck Sharpe and Dohme), Hamish Hawthorn (CEO, ATP-Innovations), Dr John Arkwright (CSIRO), and Dr Peter Brown (Senior Associate, Griffith Hack) provided valuable external views to the discussion. With combined expertise in technology transfer and pharmaceuticals, they were able to provide valuable insight into the commercialisation potential of a new invention from Dr Anya Salih that could excite interest in the market for fluorescent tags used in research. Other inventions from the School of Natural Sciences and the Medical School provided stimulating discussions amongst the panel.

Jean Bunton, a UWS PhD student presented an entrepreneurial business pitch called “Sing the Sounds of English”. Being her first time pitching her business idea to a panel, Jean thought it was a great experience. “Presenting the work developed from my Honours project, which was to write songs and music for young children with the aim of teaching English, was a chance to get feedback from experts outside my area of study. Preparing the presentation itself helped me clarify exactly what I was looking for in terms of finding an industry partner. The questions I was asked by the Panel were quite surprising as they came from different angles, but they helped me see which direction I should concentrate my ideas. There were many suggestions of ways I could extend the scope of my project. I now have some potential links with industry which I couldn’t have found in any other way.”

This latest panel stimulated very robust discussion of the exciting technologies and ideas. Our thanks to the dynamic panel members of the day; Dr Peter Brown (Patent Attorney, Griffith Hack), Dr Hugh Pattinson (College of Business and Law), Mitchell Low (PhD student - Centre for Complementary Medicine), Dr Michael O’Connor (College of Health and Science), Debbie Bailey (Office of Research Services ), Dr Phil Kearney (Merck Sharp & Dohme), Dr John Arkwright (CSIRO), Dr Christian Kroos (College of Arts-MARCS), Hamish Hawthorn (ATP-Innovation), and Dr Fiona Cameron (UWS I&C, Chair).Other IP Evaluation Panel dates for 2011 are:

  3. Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.

    I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.

    I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).

    Reasons I chose them over the others:
    1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
    2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
    3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.

    How did they do it
    1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
    2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
    3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
    4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
    5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
    6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.

    My Experience
    I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
    Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
    Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!
