Unlocking Scalable Non-Volatile Memory
TS-076603 — High-Stability Junctions for Next-Gen Chips
As traditional silicon CMOS microprocessors hit severe thermal limits, spintronics has emerged as the premier non-volatile alternative—encoding data using electron spin rather than charge to cut power drain. While spintronic systems like Magnesium Oxide (MgO )-based MRAM have successfully pr…

Method and software for auditing irrigation systems using thermal drone imaging
TS-076584 — A drone-enabled technology for auditing irrigation performance across golf courses, athletic fields, agricultural land, parks, and other managed landscapes. The system combines aerial sensor data with geospatial mapping and intelligent analysis to generate visual irrigation-audit maps and indicators of water-distribution uniformity and system efficiency. This approach may reduce the time and field labor required for conventional irrigation audits while helping users identify uneven watering and irrigation components that may need attention.
Researchers at The Ohio State University are developing a method and software workflow for evaluating irrigation-system performance using drone-mounted thermal imaging and geospatial analysis. The approach captures thermal imagery of turf surfaces before, during, and after an irrigation cycle. The i…
