Method for Preparing High-Energy Electrodes with Controlled Microstructures for Energy-Storage Devices
TS-052586 — A novel method for producing thick electrodes with controlled cracks to facilitate fast ionic transport and improve battery performance.
The Need Conventional electrodes for Li-ion batteries are prepared as thin layers of 70 to 100 microns to meet the power requirements of automotive applications. However, using thin electrodes compromises the energy densities of battery cells due to increasing weight and volume of inactive componen…

Dynamic Nanobiosensor Platform for Viral and Tumor Nucleic Acid Detection
TS-052072 — A rapid, nucleic acid-based, point-of-care diagnostic.
The current gold-standard molecular diagnostic assay, quantitative reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR, although accurate, is labor intensive (5-step workflow) and time consuming. Due to centralized laboratory testing, the time to results for RT-PCR can vary from 1 day up to 2 weeks, depending on the s…

Novel Electrode for Co-factor Regeneration
TS-051995 — Method of regenerating NADPH for the production of biobutanol.
The Need NAD(P)H is used as a reducing co-factor for the synthesis of biochemicals (e.g., conversion of aldehydes to alcohols) using biocatalysts or even microbes. Butanol is an important feedstock used in the chemical industry and shows great potential as a biofuel. Butanol is produced from fossil…

Modular Dc Circuit Breaker with Integrated Energy Storage for Future Dc Networks
TS-051200 — Traditional AC distribution is not suitable for a wide range of applications in regard to efficiency, cost, and power carrying capacity compared to alternative distributions. Low voltage distribution suffers from high transmission losses due to higher current requirements necessitating thicker, he…

Concept Discovery from Text via Knowledge Transfer
TS-050856 — A better way for systems to organize, file, or index documents or content based on actual or anticipated information needed in the form of a user query or natural language question.
Data Processing and (IT)-related activities, ranging from web hosting to automated data entry services are more important than ever due to the large amounts of data collected through technology. According to IBIS World, "Companies will increasingly capture more data, requiring the outside exp…

Method of forming low turn on and high breakdown voltage lateral diode.
TS-050626 — A hybrid Schottky and metal/high K dielectric/semiconductor contact to realize higher breakdown and low turn-on voltage for lateral diode based on wide bandgap semiconductors.
Practical realization of high breakdown fields in wide bandgap semiconductors such as GaN, SiC, typically requires the use of p-n junction, which require a turn-on voltage comparable to the bandgap of these semiconductors. For lower voltage applications, the forward or ON-state power loss due to h…

Method for selective area doping of Gallium Nitride
TS-050625 — A method of selectively obtaining n- and p-type regions from the same III-Nitride layer deposited on a substrate without using diffusion or ion-implantation techniques.
According to IBIS World Reports, manufacturers of electronic components will likely refocus their production away from silicon-based products to wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, which are made of materials that have a wider bandgap than silicon. A bandgap, or energy gap, denotes the energy diffe…

Method for seamless joining and repair of metal parts using ultrasonic additive manufacturing
TS-050479 — This invention provides a method for repairing metal parts by removing and replacing worn, damaged, or defective metal material. It also serves as a method for seamlessly joining metal sheets and other parts while retaining the original temper of the joined parts. This technology, based on ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM), achieves strong joints and repairs by enabling the filling of a channel that has been cut, formed, or otherwise created in a metal structure or between two metal structures.
The aircraft industry lacks a robust method for joining metal sheets, structures, and assemblies together in wings, fuselages, and engines. Fusion based welding methods cannot always be used because they create heat-affected zones, which reduce the mechanical performance of material around the wel…

Out-of-Plane Fluidic Actuator for Curved Surface Applications
TS-050464 — A novel bistable fluidic actuator design which uses naturally occurring fluid dynamic instabilities instead of moving parts to create an oscillating jet that is out-of-plane from the fluid inlet port.
Turbines are used to produce much of the world’s electricity, whether it be from nuclear, coal, or natural gas sources, as well as provide power for the vast majority of aircraft flying today. For many turbine applications, the first stage vane and blade just downstream of the combustor is a…
