TS-066963 — The Need Exposure to mold in homes costs billions of dollars every year. Exposure is particularly harmful to the 8% of the United States population that suffers from asthma; a leading cause of disability in children. Currently, odor, visible mold growth, and dampness are the best indicators of mold…

TS-066962 — The Need Viral disease surveillance (e.g. influenza, SARS-CoV-2) in high-risk settings faces several challenges, such as asymptomatic carriers, incomplete reporting, resource limitations, and delayed diagnosis of traditional swab test methods. These challenges could allow a virus to silently spread…

TS-066957 — The Need Colorimetric tests and remote image analysis are used in a wide range of industrial and medical applications. Digital image-based measurements made with smartphones are a promising platform to quantify colors at low cost, but suffer from inconsistency and errors caused by lens quality, sen…

TS-063283 — As the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) becomes more widespread, there is an increasing emphasis on improving charging technologies. There is substantial commercial need for technologies that sit on-board EVs, enhancing charging efficiency and reducing mechanical complexity. The Ohio State U…

TS-063239 — The Ohio State University has developed a vulnerability analysis technique for connected and autonomous vehicles that assesses the vulnerability and attackability of the automotive controllers to determine the security of the system. The Need Automated vehicle technologies improve safety, assis…

TS-063156 — In the era of 5G and beyond, wireless base station infrastructures require power amplifiers (PAs) that maintain high efficiency from backoff to peak power level. Conventional Doherty PAs, while popular, are inherently narrowband due to their reliance on a quarter-wave transmission line (TL). This …

TS-063155 — With the rapid growth in modern communication, transmitter systems must use a wider fraction of the spectrum, to support the continuously increasing data rate. In addition, signals with large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) are used in communication systems to increase the spectral efficiency. …

TS-063148 — In an era of rapid growth in modern communication, there is an increasing demand for multi-band and broadband power amplifiers (PA) for signals with large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). The PA, being one of the most power-consuming components in a transmitter system, needs to achieve high ave…

TS-063058 — The Need In the era of electrified vehicles, there is a growing demand for efficient power systems that can provide high voltage and/or high output power to meet strict design requirements. These power systems also need to supply power to other equipment and circuits, such as DC-DC converters, on-b…

TS-063033 — The Need As automobile manufacturers strive to achieve greater fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and other Electric Drive Systems (EDSs) has surged. However, these electrified powertrains face performance challenges, especially in extreme environments. To…
