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
Flexible Power Generation with Negative Carbon Emissions	Energy security: This system enables the continued use of low-cost domestic fuel (i.e., natural gas) for electricity generation and increases the reliability of U.S. electricity production. Environmental protection: Flexible carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems can achieve high CO2 capture rates from flue gas. For example, with this system a power generator could shift the times it exports electricity to the grid, allowing the power generator and CCS plant to operate under steady-state conditions and with reduced emissions. Reduced costs: The cost of a net-zero carbon electricity system is lowered by providing dispatchable power to a high-VRE grid.	8834

Foot Ankle Orthotic (FAO) Delivers Real-Time Portable, Discreet Haptic Feedback for Patients and Athletes	Providing patients with discreet notifications of real-time plantar pressure to improve rehabilitation of foot-ankle injuries between clinical visits can reduce risk of injury strain and minimize long-term damage. Athletes from various sports (e.g., tennis, football, basketball) could prioritize injury prevention during practice and games because of the discreet haptic notifications that bring attention to foot planting techniques via pressure monitoring. The benefits of measuring plantar pressure from the four zones of this device’s insole (heel, toes, medial, and lateral) extend beyond foot-ankle injuries and can be key to diabetic pressure wound prevention as well as knee osteoarthritis therapy.	8944

Fully Bioresorbable Heart Valve Scaffold Supports Native Neovalve Growth to Reduce Future Procedures	Replacing a stenotic fetal heart valve with a living autologous valve could possibly cure the complex cardiac anomalies that cause single ventricle physiology. With this approach, the valve has the potential to accommodate patient growth and eliminate the need for multiple heart valve replacements during the patient’s lifetime. The transcatheter nature of this valve deployment makes the procedure similar in risk to a traditional fetal valvuloplasty.	8868
