TS-070635 — The Need We urgently need to be able to evaluate the effectiveness of environmental controls in buildings to reduce viral transmission and to prioritize resources. In 2021, $200 billion dollars was allocated in the US to improving ventilation in schools in response to COVID-19, but without reliable …

TS-070633 — The Need Stranded natural gas (SNG), a by-product of crude oil extraction, is often flared due to the high cost and logistical challenges of pipeline transport. Approximately 15 tons/day of SNG is flared from one oil well. This results in significant greenhouse gas emissions and wasted energy. With …

TS-070632 — The Need As electric vehicles (EVs) evolve toward multi-e-axle architectures, traditional energy management strategies fall short in optimizing power distribution and minimizing energy waste. Current systems lack the predictive intelligence to adapt to dynamic driving conditions, leading to suboptim…

TS-070631 — The Need Ultra-wideband communication systems, including mmWave and optical wireless networks, demand highly accurate and low-latency channel estimation to maintain throughput and reliability. Existing methods, such as hybrid correlation and least squares estimators, suffer from high computational c…

TS-070630 — The Need Fixed bed chemical looping systems offer operational simplicity and minimal attrition compared to moving bed systems, but they suffer from transient behaviors like feed breakthrough, uneven solid conversion, and coking. These issues compromise efficiency, scalability, and product consistenc…

TS-070629 — The Need Current industrial processes for hydrogen and syngas production—such as steam methane reforming and autothermal reforming—are energy-intensive, prone to catalyst coking, and economically viable only at large scales. These methods also struggle with CO₂ emissions and integratio…

TS-070563 — Protect neonatal piglets with a genetically stable, live attenuated vaccine that eliminates recombination risk and boosts immunity.

TS-070543 — A Platform for High-Throughput Biomarker Detection that is portable, fast, and requires minimal sample

TS-070531 — The Need Efficient heat switches are crucial for various applications, including solid-state refrigeration, solar thermal installations, waste heat scavenging, and electronics cooling. Current technologies often suffer from irreversible thermodynamic losses or inefficiencies, limiting their effectiv…

TS-070520 — The Need Accurate, real-time mapping of shear forces in fluid environments remains a challenge, particularly in applications requiring passive, non-invasive, and long-term monitoring. Existing technologies often rely on active sensors that require power, are difficult to integrate into sensitive sys…
