TS-071941 — The Need Current automotive seatbelt systems, especially standard 3-point belts, often fall short in protecting occupants during complex side impacts and in emerging autonomous vehicle seating configurations. Existing solutions like inflatable belts and safety vests can be uncomfortable and are not …

TS-071810 — The Need Modern electric machines face significant limitations in scaling power density, especially at higher supply frequencies. Conventional designs suffer from parasitic losses due to skin and proximity effects, which worsen as machine size and current increase. Existing solutions, such as Litz w…

TS-071088 — The Need The transportation industry increasingly relies on aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) casting alloys to reduce vehicle weight and emissions. However, structural applications demand high ductility and strict impurity limits, making them incompatible with most recycled aluminum. Current secondary alloy…

TS-070971 — The Need Modern gas turbines and compressors rely on bladed disks, which are highly sensitive to mistuning caused by manufacturing tolerances, wear, or damage. Existing modeling tools are fragmented, complex, and often limited to specific mistuning types. Industry will greatly benefit from a unified…

TS-070954 — The Need Intersections are among the most dangerous areas on U.S. roadways, accounting for approximately 25% of traffic fatalities and nearly half of all injuries annually. Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), including pedestrians and cyclists, face increasing risk due to complex traffic dynamics and limi…

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-070382 — The Need Current methods for joining metal components in space environments are often complex, energy-intensive, and can compromise the integrity of the materials due to heat-affected zones. There is a need for a reliable, low-power, and safe solution that can create strong metal bonds without causi…

TS-068477 — The Need Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are critical to modern, highly automated environments, operating 24/7 to optimize tasks, increase throughput, and meet demanding operational requirements. However, most task allocation and charging solutions focus solely on maximizing performance metrics like…

TS-067943 — Monitoring human physiological functions and performance during real-time activities is becoming increasingly popular in sporting and healthcare environments. Many studies now suggest that the quantitative evaluation of kinetic parameters, joint range of motion, heart rate, and breathing rate can be…

TS-066252 — Rotating Fuel Core with Fuel Strip(s) ("ROFFUS") is an innovative modular nuclear reactor core designed to provide reliable and scalable power for advanced space missions.
