This paper empirically examines commercialization of university faculty inventions through startup firms from 1994 through 2008. Using data from the Association of University Technology Managers and the 2010 NRC doctoral rankings, our research reveals several findings.

The Möbius-Kantor map {4 + 4, 3} [CMo, §8.8, 8.9] is a regular orientable map of type {8, 3} and genus 2. It is a 2-sheeted covering of the cube {4, 3}, branched over the centers of its six faces, each of which lifts to an octagonal face. Its (orientation-preserving) automorphism group is isomorphic to GL2(3), a double covering of the automorphism group PGL2(3) ∼= S4 of the cube. The aim of thi...
