Available Technologies by Category
Disease Progression Modeling	Accurate - Provides continuous time modeling, which is more appropriate for medical data due to patients being monitored at irregular intervals Multipurpose - Could be used for disease staging, characteristic progression pattern discovery, prediction of the future state of disease, fast local progression detection, and to enable understanding of disease progression	6466
PUPS: Pressure Ulcer Prevention System	Enhanced quality of care: Patients are less likely to develop a hospital-acquired infection Lower cost: Minimizes costs from “never events” such as pressure ulcers	7541
Mixed-Signal Doherty Power Amplifier	Achieves high peak efficiency, back-off efficiency, and linearity Supports complex modulations with large bandwidths (> GHz) Compatible with many process technologies, including CMOS, SiGe, GaAs, and GaN	7496
Rapid Antibiotic Susceptibility Test	Relatable: Does not rely on genetic detection, making it more general and directly relatable to traditional ASTs used clinically Faster: Can perform ASTs in 1/8th of the time of current ASTs Improved accuracy: Decreases technician time and handling, improving accuracy and treatment	7492
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
Multi-Layer Inkjet-Printed Capacitors	Quick — Rapid fabrication of extremely high frequency (EHF) components in minutes Low cost — Does not require a clean room and low chemical and material waste Convenient — Equipment is small enough to allow on-the-spot printing and modifications in remote locations	6332
Apparatus and Method for Protecting Log Information	Hardware and software to prevent ‘log’ data tampering System logs impenetrable and non-modifiable Disables the ability to remove or tamper with trace data	6327
Sensing Methodology for Intelligent Traffic Sign Inventory	Ability to measure signs faster and safer	6321
Self-Steering Transceiver with Autonomous Beam-Forming	Simple operation – operates on phased-array and MIMO systems with zero power consumption Autonomous operation – achieves autonomous beam-forming and beam-alignment towards desired signal High sensitivity – performs automatic dynamic tracking and rejection of unknown interference signals	7360
FlashStream: A Multi-Tiered Storage Architecture Optimized for Video Streaming	Flashstream designed specifically for video streaming; whereas alternative storage systems are general purpose resulting in degraded video Prototype Flashstream, which optimizes caching, performed 2X better than its nearest competitor, Oracle Solaris ZFS. Directly accesses the SSD and RAM to achieve Quality-of-Service (QoS)-sensitive caching to better prioritize changes in video workloads	6264
Configurable Hyper-Referenced Associative Object Schema (CHAOS)	Efficient application of tools and algorithms Simplifies the extract, load, and transform phase of data processing	7316
Fuel-Optimal Flight in Uncertain Wind	Accurate: Process uncertainty model provides more accurate results than current models Efficient: Optimization model provides fuel-optimal air speed over flight path Novel: First method to leverage knowledge of wind forecast uncertainty in a random process framework	5878
Using Hardware "Fingerprints" to Enhance Network Security	Long-Term Solution: Because no software client is required, this technique can be used to identify both current and future unmanageable devices. Failsafe: Because it relies on inherently unique signatures tied to hardware’s diverse compositions, component manufacturers, and physical differences, the system is difficult to defeat by unauthorized—or even authorized—users. Reduced Vulnerability: As a network-based solution, this method eliminates the security vulnerabilities associated with software additions at each node.	5818
DejaVu: Automated Suggestions for Email Responses on Mobile Devices	Potential to decrease time spent replying to emails Reply suggestions are relevant due to robust information curator and database in the system architecture	7245
Improved Adaptive Control System Using Selectable Parameters	Faster: Requires less complexity in the code, enabling faster control response times Smoother: Improves control stabilization and tracking performance Versatile: Augments existing nonadaptive control systems without modifying the gains employed in those systems	5619
Enhanced Information Security Monitoring Using Analog Signals	Accurately and precisely perform security monitoring of information and data being used by computer devices and systems Eliminates the need for the security mechanism to be incorporated into the device/system being monitored Capable of functioning without using resources of the device or system being monitored	7110, 6898
'Security Refresh': Protecting Phase-Change Memory	Longer memory lifespan — Lifetime is extended by creating even wear-out Versatile — Not limited to PCM, can be applied to any future memory technology that suffers from limited write endurance Secure — Protects against attacks by masking actual data location	5601
Stiffness Trimming of High Q MEMS Clocks and Oscillators	High resolution stiffness trimming of high-Q Lame mode silicon resonators Stable frequency characteristics of Ge-coated Si resonators at high processing temperatures Achieves trimming without introducing any damping throughout process	7184
