Scalable Manufacturing Approach of Graded Polymer Thin Film Has Potential for Widespread Use	Combines slot die coating with a custom roll-to-roll imaging system to allow for efficient, rapid, and scalable fabrication of high-quality gradient thin films. An improved manufacturing process over existing techniques because it uses broad material combinations and yields higher quality patterned thin films. Incorporates multiple materials to increase the application of patterned thin films across industries, including microelectronics, energy technologies, and environmental systems.	8994
Soft Wireless Sternal Patch for Detecting Systemic Vasoconstriction Using Photoplethysmography	A wireless, soft sternal patch includes integrated skin-like, photolithographically patterned electronics specifically tuned to continuously measure vasoconstriction from the sternum. In overnight trials, the device detected sleep apnea and hypopnea with 95% precision and 100% sensitivity compared to data professionally scored by licensed clinicians. Use of this patch on the chest could improve detection of key markers of numerous harmful health conditions.	9170
Wearable Ocular Electronics with Virtual Reality Solution for Effective Home-Based Vision Therapy	The first fully portable and wireless ocular electronic system in a VR environment provides an effective, home-based visual therapy program. The integrated wearable system has a data classification algorithm to provide high-fidelity, real-time detection of eye vergence to treat eye disorders. Running a VR system on a smartphone can create “virtual therapies” that can be used anywhere anytime.	7916
Fully Passive, Long-Range Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) via 5G	Large coverage: Provides a unique combination of large angular coverage and turn-on sensitivity in both planar and bent configurations Long range: Demonstrates the potential for RFIDs with practical reading ranges over 1.8 km Scalable: Scales in size to a precise degree, enabling selection of the optimal tradeoff between size and harvested power/reading range	8141, 8439
Flexible Electrical Interconnects with Concave/Convex Platform	Co-fabrication of very complex interconnect structures for developing and testing different system topologies Improved system performance while increasing packaging density with little or no impact on the fabrication process steps used Complex shapes easily fabricated without compromising the mechanical strength or the electrical performance	6957
Light Powered RFID Tags	Ultra-thin Highly flexible and conformable Long sheltimes and operation times	3278
Low Work Function Electrodes for Flexible Electronics	More stable low-WF materials — Replaces reactive metals with easy-to-use, stable materials with comparable performance Less complex — Eliminates the need for a glass barrier or encapsulation layers to protect the material Less expensive — Lowers the cost of production through faster, easier manufacturing	5645
