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-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-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…

TS-072320 — The Need Current biofuel cell sensors suffer from poor selectivity and accuracy due to fluctuations in ionic strength and pH at the sensing interface. These environmental changes can significantly interfere with sensor readings, limiting reliability in medical diagnostics, energy generation, and env…

TS-072319 — The Need Current methods for mapping electrical potential gradients in biological tissues, such as the brain, rely on high-density electrode arrays fabricated via costly microfabrication techniques. These rigid devices struggle to conform to complex tissue morphologies, limiting their effectiveness …

TS-072270 — The Need Current heat flux sensors rely on indirect temperature gradient measurements across thick materials, resulting in slow response times and limited sensitivity. There is a growing demand for compact, fast, and highly sensitive heat flux sensors for various applications. Existing technologies …

TS-072175 — The Need Modern industrial and energy systems are increasingly complex, making timely fault detection and discrimination critical for safety, reliability, and cost control. Existing fault diagnosis methods often struggle with transient states, require extensive historical data, or lack interpretabil…

TS-072052 — The Need Current wearable sensors for muscle health are limited in their ability to track real-time geometric changes in muscle size and shape, especially outside controlled laboratory environments. Existing solutions, such as force myography and ultrasound, either lack direct geometric insight or a…

TS-071847 — The Need Current fast neutron detection technologies suffer from inherently low sensitivity due to the limited interaction cross-section between neutrons and atomic nuclei. This restricts their effectiveness in critical applications such as nuclear security, radiation dosimetry, and advanced imaging…

TS-071747 — The Need High-accuracy 3D depth perception is critical for autonomous systems, but current stereo camera methods falter in complex outdoor environments. While LiDAR can improve accuracy, its effectiveness plummets when using sparse data from affordable, lower-beam sensors, making high performance …
