TS-069652 — The Need Current radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers often struggle with efficiency at varying power levels, leading to increased energy consumption and operational costs. This new RF outphasing power amplifier (OPA) addresses the need for high efficiency at peak and backoff power levels, making …

TS-069651 — The Need Current outphasing radio-frequency (RF) power amplifiers require multiple RF inputs, making them complex and costly. The generation of multiple modulated RF signals increases power dissipation and cost, limiting their attractiveness for widespread use. There is a need for a simplified solu…

TS-069650 — The Need The urgent need to mitigate climate change has driven the demand for efficient carbon capture technologies. Current methods often fall short in achieving high capture rates and purity levels, especially for industrial applications. This technology addresses the critical need for a scalable…

TS-067535 — The Need In future decades, more people than ever will be spending time in space. Current crop production systems onboard spacecraft are not self-sustainable, relying on fertilizer and substrate materials that must be launched from Earth. These resupply missions can cost thousands of dollars per po…

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.
