Customizable Smart Charging Solution for Electric Vehicles in Residential Areas This customizable smart charger uses algorithms and a hardware prototype to control electric vehicle charging and optimize benefits to consumers and power grid operators. Consumers can charge according to their preference (e.g., minimize cost, maximize carbon-free energy usage, minimize charging time, or minimize battery degradation). The smart charger selects charging profiles that delay charging to avoid excessive loads on the power grid.	8980
Cost-Effective Hydra Method Monitors DRAM Memory in Computers Hydra combines the best of SRAM-tracking (low performance overhead) and DRAM-tracking (low SRAM overhead and flexibility) to produce Row-Hammer (RH) mitigation that is effective at ultra-low thresholds. Proven results in mitigating the increasing RH security vulnerability issue, Hydra offers a low-cost solution that is widely applicable to all computer systems that use DRAM—over one billion devices. Hydra is a hybrid tracker that successfully mitigates RH security issues and does not compromise the functionality of the computer system.	8933
Passive Learning via Wearable Haptic Stimuli System Fast: This technology significantly reduces the time needed to learn Braille. In only four hours, eight test subjects were taught to type the entire Braille alphabet as well as read Braille (with >90% accuracy), while simultaneously focusing on another task. Simplifies learning: A lack of certified Braille teachers, few learning centers, and a steep learning curve make teaching Braille difficult. This technology greatly simplifies the learning process. Passive: Because it doesn’t require the user’s attention on the stimuli, this technology allows them to focus on other tasks while still learning.	6678
