  • Simplified – Allows for stacking of organic semiconductor layers without cross-linking the layers
7017
RF-Carrier Embedded Optical Radio-Signal
  • Preserves the phase-lock loop and local oscillator (LO). The pure RF carrier is a frequency source to down-convert the incoming signals at the intermediate frequency (IF), where it can be easily modulated by a low-frequency optical modulator.
  • Frequency, phase and amplitude of the incoming signals are preserved at the IF band, since the RF carrier is spontaneously synchronized with the original source.
  • The detector linearity is improved since the two pure optical carriers have more power compare to the optical data band.

RFID Security
  • Dynamic security — keys are constantly refreshed so even if a given key is compromised, the breach is only temporary
  • Limiting — hackers ability to access RFID from a distance

RobocallGuardPlus
  • Advanced: Uses a unique smart virtual assistant with a voice interaction model that generates natural conversation to filter out robocalls
  • Robust: Blocks robocalls that other methods may miss, such as those that evade call block lists through caller ID spoofing
  • Unique: Provides the first known system to block mass, evasive, and targeted robocalls using natural, interactive conversation methods rather than relying solely on caller ID and block lists

Salinity Exchange Process for Low-Cost, High-Quality Potable Water
  • Increases water supply: This process takes advantage of abundantly available wastewater to produce clean drinking water.
  • Requires significantly less energy: Salinity exchange uses much less energy than conventional desalination technologies for which energy consumption is still a major obstacle. Georgia Tech’s bench scale prototype has demonstrated energy consumption of less than one-third of conventional reverse osmosis.
  • Publicly acceptable: Drinking desalinated seawater and brackish water is much more cognitively appealing than direct potable reuse of treated wastewater, overcoming public perception obstacles to water treatment.
