A new thermoplastic seal for the automotive industry has led to Hutchinson Sealing Systems being named the “Innovation Rocks!” award winner by the New Hampshire Business Resource Center for the month of August.
 The seal, which replaces conventional rubber and steel composite seals, stops water and dust intrusion while sealing automobile glass. In addition, it leads to a quieter car ride by helping to manage wind noise.
The all thermoplastic seal is completely recyclable, lighter in weight than conventional rubber and steel composite seals and is also more aesthetically pleasing.
“The thermoplastic seal developed by Hutchinson is a great advancement not only for the automotive industry but also for use in the industrial and aerospace industries,” said New Hampshire Division of Economic Development Interim Director Roy Duddy. “This type of technology that transcends multiple industries and has wide application is a great example of the incredible innovation and creativity of companies in the Granite State.”

Sometimes remembering to bring your cell phone along can be as difficult as memorizing the words to the Gettysburg Address.
Thankfully, a new product designed by Manchester-based Bringrr is providing helpful reminders for forgetful cell phone users as well as reassurances for busy people “on the go.” For its efforts in creating a product that saves both time and productivity, Bringrr has been named the “Innovation Rocks!” award winner by the New Hampshire Business Resource Center for the month of July.
 With CTIA – The Wireless Association announcing that there are over 276M cell phone subscribers in the United States, Bringrr’s development of a product that gives users a “safety net” to ensure that they have their mobile technology when they need it most is particularly timely.
The way that Bringrr works is simple – it works in any car and with any phone that has Bluetooth capabilities. All the user has to do is plug it into a car’s power port or lighter outlet and pair it with a cell phone. Once the car has started, Bringrr searches for the cell phone to confirm that it is in the car. If the phone is found, Bringrr sends out a short, reassuring auditory confirmation and its light turns blue. If the cell phone isn’t detected, Bringrr sends out an auditory warning and its light turns red.
“Everyone knows how incredibly frustrating it can be to leave home on a busy day without your cell phone,” said New Hampshire Division of Economic Development Interim Director Roy Duddy. “That’s why a product like Bringrr is particularly noteworthy and important to everyday living. While in the past, you could drive 20 or 30 miles before realizing that you’ve forgotten your phone, now you can resolve that issue before you even leave the driveway.”

Wearing recycled plastic bottles on your head might sound strange to most, but not to the staff of EarthTec, winner of the New Hampshire Business Resource Center’s “Innovation Rocks!” award for the month of March.
 The Portsmouth-based company, an eco-conscious company that turns recyclable plastic bottles into lifestyle apparel, is one of the first firms of its kind. Each EarthTec garment uses approximately one dozen recycled bottles in a process that creates recycled fiber that rivals virgin polyester. Its fleece-lined and water resistant jackets are now being worn by the Portsmouth Police Department, Newington Police Department and Rockingham County Sheriff’s Department at a fraction of the price of similar garments on the market.
“I had the good fortune of receiving an eco-friendly EarthTec fleece hat as a giveaway at the recent UNH men’s hockey game and can attest to its high quality,” said New Hampshire Division of Economic Development Interim Director Roy Duddy. “Not only does this innovative company do work that truly benefits the environment, their products are stylish and stand up to the rigors of use. Their commitment to both sustainability and style set them apart.”

“Never stop looking”- that’s the philosophy of a local company that is consistently looking for answers that can lead to earlier detection of cancers. For its efforts in creating products that lead to increased patient survival rates, iCAD has been named the New Hampshire Business Resource Center’s “Innovation Rocks!” award winner for the month of February.
 The Nashua-based company, an industry-leading provider of advanced image analysis and workflow solutions for the early identification of cancer, is committed to helping physicians and patients in the fight against the most prevalent cancers – breast, colorectal and prostate. Its SecondLook® CAD systems are able to detect up to 72% of actionable missed breast cancers an average of 15 months earlier than screening mammography alone and its Virtual Colonoscopy (VC), also known as CT Colonography (CTC), offers patients a less-invasive alternative to conventional colonic polyp diagnostic techniques.
“With over 11 million Americans living with cancer, it’s important to recognize companies like iCAD who are leading the way in early detection and less costly treatment options,” said New Hampshire Division of Economic Development Interim Director Roy Duddy. “This is a company that is delivering clinical excellence and improving lives on a daily basis.”

The development of a modular pistol that allows the shooter to change caliber and size at will has earned Sig Sauer the New Hampshire Business Resource Center’s “Innovation Rocks!” Award for the month of September.
 Exeter-based Sig Sauer’s P250 was designed specifically to address the future needs of the military, law enforcement and civilian shooters and features six different ergonomic combinations to accommodate varying hand sizes. Hailed by Gun World as “a pistol for all seasons,” the P250 is also renowned for having 30-40 percent fewer parts than a traditional semi-automatic pistol.
“Sig Sauer has created a product that truly revolutionizes our nation’s defense efforts,” said New Hampshire Division of Economic Development Interim Director Roy Duddy. “Sig Sauer weapons created right here in New Hampshire are being used to protect our President as well as to protect the United State’s interests abroad.

By crafting a 4.5 pound “green” tent that can withstand 40 mile per hour winds, Nemo Equipment, Inc. has earned the New Hampshire Business Resource Center’s “Innovation Rocks!” Award for the month of August.
 Nashua-based Nemo Equipment’s Nano OZ is a durable two-person backpacking tent made almost entirely of recycled materials. Recycled, post-consumer plastic is used for the fabrics, guylines, even the zipper tape. Comprised of 90% recycled and recyclable materials, more than any other tent currently on the market, the Nano OZ was hailed by Backpacker Magazine for designing a “rock-solid structure” that withstood blasting 40-mph winds in Wales’s Snowdonia National Park.
“Nemo has not only created a tremendous product, it has also put great emphasis on being environmentally friendly,” said New Hampshire Division of Economic Development Interim Director Roy Duddy. “This type of innovation is setting the pace in the outdoor equipment industry and is testament to the type of creative thinking that New Hampshire is known for.”
