Overvoltage Surge Protection System for Distributed Energy Resources	iMOV is a dynamic system capable of achieving voltage surge clamping within 20% of the system’s nominal voltage. This effectively provides protection for highly sensitive semiconductors present in DER-associated power converters. This system is built upon a metal oxide varistors (MOV) foundation, whose material composition inherently allows rapid device connection of 500 picoseconds for quicker response times. iMOV uses integrated microprocessors and sensors in a cloud-based architecture that provides protection against cyberattacks, reduces system cost, and allows system and power grid monitoring.	9190

Efficient: The efficient one-step infiltration process enables implementation for typical SOFC fabrication.	6331
Novel Silicon Radiation Detector Enabled By Tunnel Oxide Passivating Contact	The technology passivates the bottom surface well and suppresses electron recombination near the bottom contact, resulting in low leakage current. Passivating the silicon surface and decreasing hole recombination near the front contact leads to low recombination current density at the surface and low effective contact resistivity. An extremely low J0 for the tunnel oxide passivating contact on both sides yields a higher energy resolution and lower noise level.	9227
Novel Repressor Proteins for Gene Regulation and CRISPRi	The new CRISPRi platform uses novel fusion proteins to specifically inhibit target genes of interest and overcome the off-target issues with existing CRISPR platforms already on the market. The technology can be used as a life science tool and/or for diagnostics and therapeutics. The platform aims to limit off-target editing, circumvent incomplete gene knockdown sgRNA sequence-dependent repression activity, and variable performance across human cancer cell lines.	9106

Novel Pharmaceutical Compounds Based on Tumor-Selective KDM Inhibitors	Selective: Can be used to target specific types of tumors Proven efficacy in vitro: Can be used to inhibit proliferation of cells (e.g., cancer or tumor cells), reducing tumor burden, inhibiting tumor growth, or both Enhanced potency: Displayed a 65-fold increase in cytotoxic potency against tested triple negative breast cancer cell lines	7880
Novel Nanofiltration (NF) Membrane Optimizing Concurrent Nutrient Recovery and Micropollutant Removal	Effective: Targets mainstream domestic wastewater to recover a greater volume (>30%) of valuable nutrients than the current industry nutrient recovery technology focused on side streams Safer: Reduces EMPs in the fit-for-purpose water used in agricultural irrigation, minimizing the contaminants charge while permitting a lower rejection rate of valuable nutrients	8626
Novel Nanocarriers Strengthen Therapeutic Delivery, Improves Efficacy	Greater therapeutic effectiveness is due to the synergistic work of multiple therapeutic agents (hydrophobic/hydrophilic charged) that can be delivered via this dual-loaded biomaterial. The risk of immunotoxicity to a vaccine is reduced because an adjuvant, which can induce the body’s anti-inflammatory immune response, may be loaded and simultaneously delivered with the vaccine. The novel nanocarrier has broad market application since it can deliver vaccines, gene therapy, small molecule drugs, and even contrast agents.	8988
