Available Technologies by Category
Improve the Reliability of Quantum Computers by Mitigating Measurements Errors	Increased reliability by 2-3x: Some current quantum computers have average measurement error rates ranging from 6%–8%, with worst case rates ranging from 25%–30%. Georgia Tech’s methods improve measurement fidelity by 2–3x. Improved usability: Implementation of the EDM uses the top-four mappings produced by the underlying mapping policy. Proactive: Using AIM to predict the state that is being measured and the error rate proﬁle of the machine, the predicted state can be proactively mapped to the strongest state using a speciﬁcally designed inversion string.	8207, 8208
Image-Based Disease Severity Algorithm	The technology utilizes an image-based algorithm and automatic methodology to detect biomarkers in disease. It leverages a well-trained neural network on a dataset of healthy instances to learn the feature distribution of the healthy data. Anomaly detection algorithms generate anomaly scores based on properties of the neural network, providing a measure of severity by assessing how anomalous an instance appears compared to the healthy distribution.	9097
Hydrogels for Controlled Delivery of Lysostaphin to Treat Staphylococcus aureus Infections	Injectable (or surgically applied) hydrogel formulation conforms and adheres to the fracture and surrounding tissue, ensuring efficient, local delivery of lysostaphin Localized treatments enable higher relative doses to be given at the site of infection, and enhanced stability from the hydrogel carrier may reduce the number of overall doses needed Tunable nature of the material provides control over the amount and time over which lysostaphin is delivered	7729
Hydrogel-Based Artificial Ligaments Offer Substantial Improvements for ACL Reconstruction Therapies	This biocompatible hydrogel-based device is designed to reproduce natural ligament/tendon function to decrease the incidence of immune responses that lead to chronic inflammation. An alternative to standard artificial ligaments and tendons, the device is designed to be placed via non-invasive techniques, making it a safer alternative to current, invasive surgical methods. Non-biodegradable hydrogels are highly durable, potentially increasing the lifespan of the prostheses.	5386
