Available Technologies by Category
AR Display and IR Sensing System for Baked Products	Reduces errors and labor invovled in quality control Saves time and money Assists operators in identification of potential problems	4089
Translating Sound into Soft Touch for Haptic Devices	Low cost: Uses components that are less expensive than other high-tech options Better response: Responds more quickly and more refined/granular than existing products with slow and/or coarse responsiveness Enhanced performance: Achieves a silent, smoother, pulse-like response rather than an unpleasant push or buzz	5433
Crane Control Using Real-Time Location Systems	Relatively simple technology Saves time that would be spent training operators Can be applied to existing cranes	5318
Advance Mobility Improvement for Organic Field Effect Transistors	Dramatic increase in mobility: Yields a 2-order-of-magnitude increase in charge transport Fast: Achieves 100-fold improvements after a mere 5 minutes of ultrasound Simple: Requires only low-intensity ultrasound and eliminates the need for dielectric surface modifications or post-deposition treatment of the device	5187
Method for VM Monitoring Using Hardware Virtualization	More efficient — at least 10 times performance improvement between switching to a monitor inside SIM and switching to a monitor residing in another trusted VM Expandable — new security applications can be built	4882
BrainBraille	Increased information bandwidth and speed for BCI devices Rapid learning of motions and associated meanings Enhanced accuracy	8088
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
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
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
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
Wearable Robotic Limb	The limb uses Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to understand what the user wants it to do and how to perform the required tasks in a changing environment The limb’s movements are modeled based on human motions and therefore operate smoothly and look natural. Proprietary multi-limb mounting design	7108
