Safe and Effective von Willebrand factor (VWF) Therapeutic to Prevent Arterial Thrombi	Using anti-von Willebrand factor (VWF) agent has the potential to be safer and much more effective for preventing the formation of arterial thrombi. Low doses of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) have been shown to reduce the rate of platelet aggregation, while higher doses completely prevented platelet aggregation. Uses the safe, Federal Drug Administration–approved drug NAC that has a known safety profile.	8975
Rubber Encapsulated Pressure Sensor for Contact Sensing	Controllable design for tunable force response Force and pressure sensor characteristics can be easily tailored Protected pressure sensor from high forces and pressures	7591
Root-Inspired Ground Anchor	Improved performance: Provides higher capacity with shorter installation length, as compared with linear ground anchors or foundations piles Robust: Increases resistance to mechanical shearing in the soil around the anchor Increased stability: Resists axial, torsional, and moment loads	8424
Robotically Steerable Guidewire for Improved Vascular Intervention	Robotic: Provides operational improvement of guidewire navigation to facilitate catheter placement by employing robotics, while most other commercially available guidewires lack active steering capability Versatile: Controls the guidewire bending angle and also adjusts the bending length of the joint, increasing the capabilities of the guidewire and accommodating varied vasculature geometries Flexible: Can be extended to multiple bending sections and degrees of freedom, in stark contrast to passive guidewires that offer clinicians very limited degrees of freedom	8451
RobocallGuardPlus	Advanced: Uses a unique smart virtual assistant with a voice interaction model that generates natural conversation to filter out robocalls Robust: Blocks robocalls that other methods may miss, such as those that evade call block lists through caller ID spoofing Unique: Provides the first known system to block mass, evasive, and targeted robocalls using natural, interactive conversation methods rather than relying solely on caller ID and block lists	8817
Ribonucleotide-Capture Method	Enables the mapping of precise-genome wide positions of rNMPs incorporated in genomic DNA Results in sensitive and specific identification and mapping of rNMPs Could be used for further understanding of the biological implication and consequences of rNMP incorporation in DNA	6522
RFID Security	Dynamic security — keys are constantly refreshed so even if a given key is compromised, the breach is only temporary Limiting — hackers ability to access RFID from a distance	4028
RF-Carrier Embedded Optical Radio-Signal	Preserves the phase-lock loop and local oscillator (LO). The pure RF carrier is a frequency source to down-convert the incoming signals at the intermediate frequency (IF), where it can be easily modulated by a low-frequency optical modulator. Frequency, phase and amplitude of the incoming signals are preserved at the IF band, since the RF carrier is spontaneously synchronized with the original source. The detector linearity is improved since the two pure optical carriers have more power compare to the optical data band.	5800
Reversible Doping of Semiconductor Films for Electronics	Effective – Reduction in film’s electrical resistance Scalable – Can control doping of large or small-scale bulk materials Simplified – Allows for stacking of organic semiconductor layers without cross-linking the layers	7017
Retrieving 3D Information for Probe Microscopy	Can isolate the central region of a diffraction spot from its respective fringes Creates ideal diffraction patterns	3597
Resonators for Temperature-Stable Oscillators	Reduced motional resistance – by using the distributed arrangement for the mode shape Performance scaling –added design freedom of the resonator Compatibility –no dimensional constraints	7780
Reprocessing, Recycling, and Repairing Covalent Adaptable Network Polymers	Environmentally friendly: Recycles fibers and polymers without the use of supercritical chemicals (e.g., acids) Effective: Allows for pressure-free surface repair and welding Efficient: Reclaims fibers and polymer with the same mechanical properties as fresh material for use in new products	7348
Replaceable Heart Valve Prosthesis	Repeatable- method may be repeated multiple times Versatile- mechanism may substitute more than one valve Lower-cost	3692
REMS Sensors for Environmental Monitoring	Low cost – decreases expenses by being compatible with existing UHF or microwave passive RFID integrated circuits Precise – because an RFID readers filters out unmodulated scatter components, an RFID-based REMS sensor is more precise Allows passive interrogation of the sensor	4561
Reinvented Toilet Technologies	Self-contained: Requires no plumbing or sewerage Ecological: Reduces the use of clean drinking water in sewerage processes, as well as the energy and infrastructure required for modern wastewater treatment and disposal Forward-looking: Could provide non-sewered locations with a much-needed sanitation solution, while potentially addressing ecological threats (water use, air and waterborne pathogens, etc.)	8592, 8593, 8594, 8595, 8596, 8597, 8917, 8996
Reducing Vibration During Engine Start	Uses a linear combination of constant and time-varying components to tailor the torque profile provided by the EM Results suggest a promising and straightforward technique for reducing vibrations during ICE starting/restarting Improve drive-ability and the overall driving experience, resulting in increased consumer acceptance of HEVs	6783
Reducing Intraocular Pressure in Glaucoma Patients Without Drugs or Surgery via a Simple Hydrogel Injection	Hydrogel injections alleviate elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) with fast results and extended impact. Surgery-free approach eliminates the risk of tissue damage caused by a surgical incision or laser application. Simplified and effective treatment process from standard daily drug intake to a brief office visit only once every 4-6 months.	8467
