DistIP
distIP was established to commercialise the intellectual property of research projects acquired from then Distributed Systems Technology Centre (a Cooperative Research Centre – CRC) in 2006, by developing early-stage software into commercial-ready products. Two of those projects, “comvine” and “ShEBA” are being commercialised.
comvine is a powerful contextual search engine and semiotics platform which searches on the meaning of phrases rather than on pure text. It captures the concepts that subscribers write about and connects parties, content and groups interested in the same topics. It will form part of the new breed of web applications in the Smart Web (Semantic Web/Web 3.0).
ShEBA is an equally powerful and disruptive patented decision-support technology that has been used for analysis of complex and potentially unreliable information, to identify probable outcomes using a family of polynomial belief and reliability algorithms. It has applications in any vertical where speculative decisions need to be made under conditions of uncertainty, and is now been successfully trialled in several security intelligence organisations.

XeroCoat
XeroCoat is a novel, permanent, multi-purpose coating technology, based upon thin films of nano-porous silica, that produces non-fogging, anti-reflecting and scratch proof coatings on glass and plastics. Applications of the technology utilise its qualities to produce low refractive index cladding or buffers for optical fibres and other wave guides, and in antireflective windows for optical interconnects and facet coatings. The technology is ideal for antifogging spectacles and goggles, car windscreens and even bathroom mirrors. The anti-reflection properties will improve the performance of display windows, solar cells, glasshouses and fibre optic cable.
