TS-074344 — Air conditioning is a major driver of global electricity demand, peak load stress, and greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in hot and humid climates. Conventional vapor-compression systems rely on electricity-intensive compressors, struggle with efficient humidity control, and are poorly matche…

TS-074297 — Gas turbine systems are typically optimized for a narrow operating point, leading to efficiency penalties during off‑design operation. Existing variable-geometry solutions rely on mechanically actuated components that add complexity, incur performance losses, and face durability challenges in hi…

TS-074278 — Millions of individuals with mobility impairments lack practical, scalable assistance for gait rehabilitation and daily ambulation. Existing powered exoskeletons are often heavy, expensive, complex to don, and poorly suited for long-duration or everyday use. Passive walkers and orthotic devices pr…

TS-074248 — Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions remain a major regulatory and environmental challenge for power generation, industrial combustion, and waste incineration. The dominant abatement technology, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), relies on ammonia or urea, introducing safety, cost, and operational co…

TS-074168 — Electrification trends in aerospace, transportation, and industrial systems demand electric machines with substantially higher power density, efficiency, and reliability. Conventional motor and generator architectures struggle at high frequencies and power levels due to skin and proximity losses, …

TS-074143 — Across desalination, water reuse, and other separation markets, operators continue to face a fundamental tradeoff between membrane permeability and selectivity. Existing commercial polyamide membranes often sacrifice water flux to achieve high salt rejection, driving higher energy consumption, inc…

TS-074049 — Commercial and industrial HVAC systems face growing pressure to reduce energy consumption while delivering precise humidity control, particularly in hot and humid climates. Conventional desiccant and vapor‑compression systems require high regeneration temperatures, waste low‑grade heat, and st…

TS-073930 — Many industrial gas–solid reactions, such as ironmaking, chemical looping, and other redox-based processes, are fundamentally constrained by thermodynamic equilibrium in conventional reactor designs. Single-inlet/single-outlet reactors force tradeoffs between gas conversion and solid conversion,…

TS-073844 — Current communication systems often struggle with efficiency and reliability, especially in noisy environments and varying relay positions. Traditional methods focus on exact message reconstruction, which can be resource-intensive and less effective for real-time applications. There is a growing n…

TS-073842 — In the era of 6G and beyond, efficient and robust communication of multimodal messages (text and images) is critical, especially in resource-constrained environments. Current methods struggle with noise robustness and codeword length, leading to inefficiencies and increased error rates. There is a…
