• Smart Structures – CMOS architecture minimizes external connections and chip cross-section
• Efficient – The CMOS architecture can enable substantially the entire chip area to be utilized for element placement. The chip also utilizes direct connection to minimize external connections. 
• Increased Transmit Power – The chip can utilize batching techniques to increase transmit power using sparse Tx arrays

• Alternative method for hypodermic needles
• Coating uniformity
• Spatial control on coating length

• Tumors are able to migrate on manufactured fibers or films instead of healthy brain tissue
• Minimally invasive- the device can be deployed directly or using a catheter
• The device is size and shape variable- films can range from nano- to micron- scale

• Allows for a high data rate, low power consumption and low interference when used in different applications such as IMD
• Improves the bandwidth and robustness of short-range wireless inductive links formed across the skin to send the necessary data from external sensor to implanted micro-simulators
• Applicable in proximity communications such as sensors and RFID device to transfer data rapidly over short distances like 1 inch 

• More precise — Three orders of magnitude decrease in volume of fluid containment when working with the microscope
• Cost-saving — Allows for the use of less analyte (important for drug companies)

• Simple – easy-to-use interface for entering patient and donor characteristics
• Flexible – separate survival models use different variables which enhance the performance of each model
• Multifaceted – calculates survival probabilities for multiple organs where current technologies only determine survival probability for kidneys

• Low cost
• Monitor both eyes simultaneously
• Can be remotely configured

• Could provide substantial high value intermediates
• Enzymatic catalysis is more energy efficient, yields less (industrial type) waste than chemically based methods
• Higher level of precision than most chemical reactions

• Low cost – decrease in the number of components decreases cost
• Compact – decrease in the number of components decreases size
• High resolution – improvements in hologram recording maintain high resolutions

• Optimization of the optical detection sensitivity in air or liquid
• Mini AFM configuration able to form images in very small volumes
• Multi-tip nanosensors with simultaneous, multifunctional capabilities

• Cost efficient – fast localization, characterization, and control minimize costs
• Does not require MRI – high-resolution mapping eliminates need for MRI imaging
• Fast operation – operation can be performed in minutes

• Wearable small form-factor (micro-chip technology)
• Increased sensitivity (micro-gravity sensitivity)
• Large bandwidth (DC to 10kHz) and wide dynamic range (120dB)

• Groundbreaking - First noninvasive method of assessing the total cell content of a blood bag without breaching the bag and potentially damaging the contents or compromising manufacturing
• Cheaper - Laser scanning multi-photon microscopy is 5 to 10 times more expensive
• Improved Imaging – Consistent cross-section of the cells and reduced blurriness

• Cheaper – Extends the usable lifespan of filters
• More Efficient – Improves recovery percentage by an average of 8.4-fold
• Versatile – Can be applied to both biological and non-biological systems

This technology can be used in the development of yeast-based syntheses of plant alkaloids, or any other biosynthetic pathway that uses 5-hydroxytryptohan or L-DOPA as precursors. It can be used for the synthesis of compound monoterpene indole alkaloids derived from strictosidine (e.g. quinine, camptothecin, ajmalicine, serpentine, vinblastine and vincristine) or benzylisoquinoline alkaloids derived from dopamine (e.g. berberine and morphine).

• Apatamers have unique secondary structure, allowing them to bind with high specificity and affinity to a specific target
• Utilizes intrinsic double stranded DNA break (DSB) and repair system, enabling targeted delivery of exogenous DNA in all eukaryotic cell types
• AGT development could lead to enhancement of gene editing technologies and ultimately disease-targeted therapy

• Novel biomarkers – access biomarkers found only in ISF
• Continuous monitoring – lack of clotting allows continuous ISF collection
• Minimally invasive – no hypodermic needles or large instrumentation needed

• Sensitive bio-markers of knee healing process 
• Can be used outside of clinical settings 
• Provides quantitative measurements as opposed to qualitative ones

• Non-invasive measure of cardiac function through wearable ballistocardiography
• Regular measurements of systolic time intervals during normal daily activities
• Could be used in harsh environmental conditions including underwater
