Available Technologies by Category
Periodic Arrays for Frequency-Based Beam Steering	Avoids individual control of array components Reduced cost, smaller design equipment	4716
Visualization of Exception Handling Constructs to Support Program Understanding	Novel approach for exception handling using three inter-connected views: quantitative, flow, and contextual The program’s design was created with input from experienced Java developers who found the program effective for directing them to better practices for exception-handling constructs Prototype developed in Eclipse for Java applications, and can be extended to object-oriented languages with similar exception handling	4684
Frequency-Output Gyroscope	Low-cost Constant resonant frequency of the drive mode Better sensitivity – minimal detectable frequency is only limited by short-term stability and counting period length	4682
System for Bone Regeneration	Provides superior retention and release of osteoinductive protein Reduces necessary dose of osteoinductive protein Reduced cost of procedure	4660
Improved AZA-peptide Epoxides	Versatile: able to treat multiple diseases Can be administered with or without other protease inhibitors	3738
Power Optimized Waveform	Range – greater wireless power range Efficiency – greater wireless power efficiency Reliability – increased wireless power reliability	4570
REMS Sensors for Environmental Monitoring	Low cost – decreases expenses by being compatible with existing UHF or microwave passive RFID integrated circuits Precise – because an RFID readers filters out unmodulated scatter components, an RFID-based REMS sensor is more precise Allows passive interrogation of the sensor	4561
Method for Packaging Advanced Sensors and Electronics	High volume — device can be used for simultaneous sensing of thousands of proteins or nucleic acid sequences Cheaper — utilizes low cost wafer-scale semiconductor manufacturing technologies Versatile — can be used for many chemical and biochemical sensors	4514
Fluorescent Nanoprobes for Live-Cell RNA Imaging	Sensitive — can image single molecules with multiple emission wavelengths Fast — probe is multivalent and bind to RNA in less than 10 minutes Low cost — the alternative dual-label probes are more expensive	4513
Replaceable Heart Valve Prosthesis	Repeatable- method may be repeated multiple times Versatile- mechanism may substitute more than one valve Lower-cost	3692
Method for Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Procedures	Minimally invasive: heart valve repair system breakdown allows for a smoother process Futuristic: eliminates the need for cardiopulmonary bypass Reduced risk: intends a lower mortality rate during procedure	4483
Core-Shell Nanogel Cellular Delivery Vehicles	Delivery of a broad range of various materials to cells Higher payloads and faster and more sustained RNA interference than non-targeted commercial siRNA delivery vehicle Less toxic than commercial liposomal formulations	4480
Method to Control the Annular Septal-Lateral Diameter of a Valve	Minimally invasive- tools for SLAC deployed endovascularly, percutaneously, or thorocoscopically through a catheter Effective- reduces the septal-lateral diameter on the mitral valve Biocompatible- provides an anchoring system for anchoring a minimally invasively deployed annuloplasty ring	3690
Container Security Device	Versatile: can be used on various types of containers Facilitated communication: the door sensors are able to communicate with a controller Efficient: does not require reduction or intrusion of cargo space	4461
Carbon Nanotube Electrode Array for Neural Prosthetics	Densely packed CNT arrays allow for better bio-incorporation, prevention of glial scarring, chronic inflammation, and neuronal cell loss Readily functionalized to promote neuronal growth and tissue-electrode adhesion, enhancing electrode performance and quality of read-out signals Inherent mechanical stiffness enhances the rigidity of adjacent CNTs preventing buckling as in other high-aspect probe systems.	4434
Reduced Cyanine Dyes	Simple Synthesis - Easy one-step synthesis from commercially available cyanine dyes Dependable - Exceptional sensitivity Versatile - High stability and wide range wavelength tunability	4430
