TS-073173 — Modern navigation systems increasingly rely on signals of opportunity such as 5G and LEO satellite downlinks, but these signals often lack public reference‑signal specifications, may be dynamic or on‑demand, and can suffer from severe Doppler effects. Conventional receivers cannot reliably acq…

TS-073028 — Neonatal units need unobtrusive, continuous monitoring of presence, posture, motion, and growth metrics (recumbent length, optional weight) without cameras, wires, or labor‑intensive workflows. Frequent, accurate measurements are critical for early detection of growth deviations and unsafe sleep…

TS-072921 — Current tritium detection methods struggle with sensitivity and selectivity, especially in environments where hydrogen and tritium coexist. Tritium is a critical byproduct in nuclear reactors, hydrogen production, and waste facilities, and its monitoring is essential for safety, regulatory complia…

TS-072841 — Modern thermal management demands fast, accurate, and spatially compact heat flux sensing to complement temperature measurements, enable real‑time control, and estimate internal temperatures without waiting for equilibrium. Conventional longitudinal thermopower sensors trade sensitivity for resp…

TS-072828 — Long superconducting and cryoresistive cables are critical for emerging applications such as electric aircraft and high-capacity power transmission. However, localized hot spots can lead to catastrophic failure within milliseconds, and current detection methods are slow, complex, and intrusive. Th…

TS-072827 — The Need Current navigation systems, such as GNSS, face limitations in urban canyons, indoor environments, and areas with signal jamming or spoofing. The rapid proliferation of LEO satellite constellations presents an untapped opportunity for resilient, accurate positioning. However, leveraging thes…

TS-072584 — The Need High-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission and grid-connected power conversion systems face significant cost, size, and efficiency challenges due to the large number of expensive submodules and capacitors required in conventional modular multilevel converters (MMC). These limitations restrict scal…

TS-072329 — The Need The rapid growth of artificial intelligence and neural networks is driving unprecedented demand for energy-efficient, scalable hardware. Conventional memristors require rare earths and complex fabrication, contributing to electronic waste and limiting accessibility. There is a critical need…

TS-072328 — The Need Current firefighting methods often rely on water, toxic foams, or pre-installed systems, which can strain resources, pose environmental hazards, and limit portability. There is a growing demand for safer, non-toxic, and portable fire suppression solutions that can be rapidly deployed in div…

TS-072321 — The Need Current virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) platforms lack integration of gustatory (taste) sensations, limiting user immersion and sensory engagement. Existing human-machine interfaces focus primarily on visual, auditory, and haptic feedback, neglecting the chemical dimension of taste. T…
