TS-073051 — Surgeons routinely hand‑bend standard titanium or stainless‑steel fixation plates to conform to patient anatomy, a manual process that is time‑consuming, inconsistent, and prone to gaps, reversed bends, and unfavorable residual stress. Each of these factors can compromise fixation and outcom…

TS-073031 — Operators of large, complex facilities struggle to balance revenue, maintenance, and regulatory safety constraints under uncertainty. Existing tools typically optimize only a subset of factors without a unified, real‑time view of component health and future degradation. Advanced reactors and oth…

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-072984 — Complex systems are entering the market faster while safety verification grows harder, especially when detailed designs or operational data don’t yet exist. Traditional tools (FMEA, FTA, PRA) either require finalized designs, focus on forward propagation, or struggle with partial failures and fu…

TS-072972 — The Need: In a world grappling with the consequences of poor dietary choices, the imperative to address the global health crisis has never been more critical. Poor diets contribute to 1 in 5 deaths globally, leading the USDA to recommend a 30% reduction in sodium levels in foods to combat this cris…

TS-072945 — Many mechanically mediated conditions such as vascular hypertension, glaucoma, and abdominal distension, present intermittent, unpredictable episodes that demand drug release only when symptoms emerge. Conventional platforms often leak at baseline, require external triggers, or cannot synchronize …

TS-072941 — Current additive manufacturing (AM) methods for high-performance alloys, such as Inconel 718, face significant challenges: poor control over microstructure, high porosity, and limited resistance to harsh environments (e.g., high temperature, hydrogen attack). These issues lead to premature failure…

TS-072927 — Current concrete structures, such as bridges, pavements, and buildings, lack integrated solutions for efficient temperature control. Existing heating or cooling systems are typically installed on or near the surface, risking damage and failing to provide uniform thermal management. There is a need…

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-072842 — The energy density and safety of lithium-metal solid-state batteries (LIMSSBs) are limited by the stability of the interface between the lithium-metal anode and the solid-state electrolyte. Traditional approaches using static interlayers or coatings often fail to maintain continuous contact during…
