Improved Electrically Driven Temperature Swing Adsorption (ETSA) System for Faster, More Productive Direct Air Capture of Carbon Dioxide	This electrically driven temperature swing adsorption (ETSA) system uses sorbent-coated carbon fibers that exhibit Joule heating and rapid temperature swings for improved CO₂ direct air capture (DAC). Over ten times faster temperature controls and six times faster CO₂ desorption rate in ETSA than temperature swing adsorption (TSA) operation under the same DAC condition The dual-layered structure composed of a Joule heating core and CO₂adsorbing coating layer result in a larger amount of CO₂ chemisorption.	9063
Improved Liquid Sanitization Cyclic Filtration System	Biological, chemical, and physical contaminants are extracted from liquids and discharged as separated waste while the system is in operation Extracted contaminates are continually flushed from the system to reduce residue accumulation on the filtration membranes Self-cleaning filter design allows the system to operate more efficiently than traditional water filtration methods	6000
Improved Privacy: A Data Security Solution	Easy-to-use – Overcomes usability problems and/or server modifications of existing privacy solutions Standalone – Ability to be used as a standalone program that provides better isolation than other products Secure – Allows the provider or online entity to enhance the user’s confidence that the personal data will be not be compromised	6426
Improved Projection Exposure System for Fabricating Nanomaterials	High speed processing: Enables rapid prototyping and large-scale manufacturing Simple optics: Nano-scale patterning achieved without complex optical systems or photomasks Cost effective: Replaces slow and expensive electron beam lithography	5283
Improving Quantitative Phase Imaging to Enhance Reliability and Broaden Applications	Universal application of an OBM/qOBM optical phase imaging device is made possible by the optimized SNR that identifies configurations with fewer limitations (e.g., conditions, tissue). The simulated SNR can identify non-intuitive geometries for optical phase imaging devices that previously may not have been identified by the arduous experimental optimization process. Optimized SNR when OBM/qOBM devices take in-vivo and in-situ measurements have been proven reliable across multiple types of tissue.	8936

Integrated Alkali Dispenser Collimator	Precise: Reducing the “spread” of vapor via collimation can reduce potential signal-to-noise ratio degradation and avoid contamination of nearby electronic components. Simple: Generating a directed atomic beam from the dispenser can be achieved via integrated packaging. Cooler: Placing a spacer material between the dispenser and collimator creates a sealed gap that not only prevents leakage, but also allows the vapor to cool (via rapid thermalization with the collimator plate).	8872
Integrated Cascaded Atomic Beam	Reduced cost – due to fabrication techniques that enable mass manufacture and spread of technology Increased generation of collimated atomic beams – due to the miniaturizing of clocks Maximized accuracy of the clock – by improving signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)	7917
