Good Year formed a partnership with Sandia National Laboratories to develop better tires. Sandia is a government-owned laboratory operated by the US Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration that focuses on nuclear weapons, energy/resources, defense systems, and homeland security. The government funds about 90% of the joint work between Good Year and Sandia.
Ohio State University Medical Center partnered with Cisco Systems to provide wireless services and addressed staffing shortages by using robots from FMC. The robots transport materials through hospital hallways and multiple floors using laser guidance and can receive duty schedules from a central computer system.

Sandia is responsible for designing and manufacturing oversight of components used in the nation¡¯s defense programs. The partnership enabled Good Year engineers to utilize Sandia labs. 90% is $15m with $7m going towards the project directly and $8m going towards facilities and cost of labor.
Is a top-notch medical school that serves 800,000 patients a year and hosts $100 million worth of research each year. Almost helped in improving operational efficiency.
