• Does not employ particles to control wetting
• Approach can be used to modify any material surface
• Cost-effective

• High degree of integration - system compactness for miniaturization
• Heat reduction - removal of very high temperature fluxes, or moderate heat fluxes over large domains
• Low power operation

• High resolution — system can provide high resolution indoor location context

• 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

• Cost Effective – Modified epoxy is lower cost than advanced, high performance polymers
• Effective – Lowers dielectric constant and loss of the material
• Non-destructive – Does not deteriorate the mechanical properties of the material

• 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

• 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.

• State-of-the-art: Is the first Rx-array design of its kind, autonomously achieving modulated blocker suppression and desired signal beamforming simultaneously without the need for a digital beamforming aid  
• Robust: Enables multi-beam high-capacity massive MIMO to address the demands of both commercial and defense applications
• Scalable: Employs ASFs that achieve 4-element spatial filters with sharpened selectivity that can be extended to larger array sizes of thousands of elements and cancellation of any number of interference signals

• Phase separation is eliminated
• Growth process is faster
• Processing temperatures are lower and over a wider range

• Improve overall performance of the transportation system while reducing enforcement costs and need for law enforcement resources
• Reduces the need for a physical barrier between the HOV/HOT and general purpose lanes
• Addresses traffic management problems through the implementation of automated electronic enforcement of barrier to integrity 

• Unique nano-fabrication process that allows direct-write of complex 3D nano-structures (e.g. cavities and overhangs)
• Fabrication process compatible with variety of materials on any substrates (planar and non-planar)
• Provides growth rate of amorphous carbon nano-structures 3 times greater than that of standard gas-phase FEBID

• Difficult to defeat — due to unique voltage patterns
• Works independently — not reliant on perfect connections to maintain functionality
• Ability to sustain a moderate amount of damage — to avoid incorrectly detecting a breach

Safety: intrinsically limited charge transfer and current provide better safety for both personnel and instruments.

Cost-effectiveness: the TENG was simply operated using a rotary motor and the cost of the TENG device and boost circuit is less than 100 USD, while a commercial DC HV power source usually costs more than 1000 USD.

Controllability: owing to the charge dominating output characteristic of TENG, the droplet jetting frequency could be controlled by the TENG operation frequency.

• Powerful – Antenna can be operated at high power levels
• Stealthy – Plasma version can be any length and can be hidden easily; can also be rapidly shut off to prevent radar detection
• Variable – Most of the design parameters can be rapidly varied, enabling a single antenna to potentially serve multiple purposes

• Creates safe, effective antimicrobial surfaces via bacteria inactivation without the use of chemicals
• Targets cell membranes or capsid, is less likely to induce antimicrobial resistance, and should be effective for antibiotic-resistant bacteria
• Requires very short electrical pulses to achieve effective bacteria inactivation, potentially leading to better antifouling performance

• Increased efficiency — Satisfies zero voltage switching condition at 50% duty cycle and shapes the drain voltage at other duty cycles to minimize power loss
• Improved reliability — Reduces peak drain swing
• Mitigated variation — Determines optimal adaptation settings for each process shifted device using on-chip sensors and digital logic

• Eco-friendly: An improved industrial dyeing process because it reduces excessive heat and water contamination during manufacturing.
• Wide applicability: Demonstrated to be successful with other materials beyond polyester, including Kevlar and polyacrylonitrile (PAN).
• Improved quality: Improving commercial dye methods without losing the desired properties of polyester such as flexibility is beneficial to industries like medical supply.

• Durable – coating is wear-resistant against many types of damage and retains its water repellent properties over a long period of time
• Low Cost – production process is simple and straight-forward
• Functional – can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications

• More affordable than currently available comparable DECT components.
• Eliminates the need for two scans, resulting in a shorter imaging time and reducing issues associated to patient motion during scans.
• Compatible with most CT scanners, including cone-beam CT.
