Available Technologies by Category
Enabling Privacy-Preserving Search Over Fuzzy Databases	Privacy-preserving: Improves the security of biometric-based surveillance, identification, or searches for individuals using their biometric data over private databases Timely: Addresses the requirements of recent and emerging privacy protection regulations and policies Practical: Fills a gap in privacy-preserving search technologies, which currently do not accommodate searching of fuzzy data such as biometrics	8506
Enabling Rapid Detection of Label-Free RNA for Use in COVID-19 Testing	Earlier detection: Identifying the viral components themselves—rather than the body’s reaction to the viral presence (i.e., antibodies)—potentially improves early detection in asymptomatic subjects. Simpler process: Use of minimal reagents and fewer preparatory steps is designed to enable more efficient and facile sample preparation. Avoidance of “wash steps” aims to minimize target loss. Fewer disruptions: Avoiding the use of high-demand supplies (e.g., swabs) and reagents potentially reduces supply-chain and contamination issues.	8669
Energy Storage for Automotive/Portable Applications	Increased storage density — backbone offers high surface area for hydrogen storage Fast and easy — polymer readily folds and unfolds for hydrogen storage and fast release in response to actuation Suitable for packaging — uses compliant polymers as a matrix to assume any form factor	3626
Engineering Antigen-Specific T Cells for CAR T Cell Therapy via Antigen-Presenting Lipid Nanoparticles	Technology Overview: Georgia Tech's new CAR T cell therapy uses lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to program antigen-specific T cells in vivo, potentially reducing costs and production time. Advantages: This approach avoids expensive and time-consuming ex vivo manufacturing, minimizes off-target effects, can adapt to various CAR constructs and cancer types, and promises rapid scaling and reduced costs. Commercial Applications: Applicable to multiple myeloma, CD19+ cancers, and a wide range of other cancers, this technology streamlines CAR T cell therapy manufacturing for faster, more affordable treatments.	9386
Enhanced Cybersecurity for Networked Motion Control Systems with Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption	Increase cybersecurity with expression rewrite rules for encrypted dynamic control schemes that reduce the multiplicative depth of somewhat homomorphic encryption and improve numerical stability. New approach generates motion commands to servo systems without creating a security hole. Information decryption and control signal calculation can be performed and executed inside the plant, while all sensitive system information outside of the plant is always encrypted.	9012
Enhanced Diversifying Base Editors for Directed Evolution in S. cerevisiae	This invention presents an optimized and integrated CRISPR diversifying base editor for use in yeast and demonstrate its ability to rapidly improve the affinity of an antibody through yeast display. The innovation has enhanced the base editor mutation rate up has been increased to 27-fold by characterizing an improved key variant and by optimizing the structure of the CRISPR guide RNAs. The technology has attained a rate roughly 10-fold higher than state-of-art systems and facilitates ultra-rapid antibody diversification.	9111
Enhanced Information Security Monitoring Using Analog Signals	Accurately and precisely perform security monitoring of information and data being used by computer devices and systems Eliminates the need for the security mechanism to be incorporated into the device/system being monitored Capable of functioning without using resources of the device or system being monitored	7110, 6898
Enhanced MIMO Framework for Optimized Wireless Communications	Innovative: Overcomes the efficiency and complexity challenges of conventional detector frameworks Independent: Has a fixed complexity that remains unaffected by noise Sophisticated: Combines the high performance of K-best detection with the low-complexity scalar list detector	7343

Equipment-Free Quantification in Point-of-Care Diagnostic Assays	Field-deployable robustness: uses reference reactions to accurately measure biomarker levels without expensive or cumbersome equipment Lower cost: quantification does not require expensive technology	7992
Expandable Back Drive–Resistant Wedge Improves Payload Support and Security in Satellite and Other Limited-Access Applications	This expandable wedge designed to resist back drive creates a more predictable load path for limited-access payloads, such as small satellite installations. The design reduces the likelihood of payload damage caused by sudden shock loading that can occur due to the higher stresses of cantilevered loads. Two offset, spring-activated pawls make the cartridge resistant to vibration by holding the wedge in place once proper contact has been established.	9002
