Method and software for auditing irrigation systems using thermal drone imaging
TS-076584 — A drone-enabled technology for auditing irrigation performance across golf courses, athletic fields, agricultural land, parks, and other managed landscapes. The system combines aerial sensor data with geospatial mapping and intelligent analysis to generate visual irrigation-audit maps and indicators of water-distribution uniformity and system efficiency. This approach may reduce the time and field labor required for conventional irrigation audits while helping users identify uneven watering and irrigation components that may need attention.
Researchers at The Ohio State University are developing a method and software workflow for evaluating irrigation-system performance using drone-mounted thermal imaging and geospatial analysis. The approach captures thermal imagery of turf surfaces before, during, and after an irrigation cycle. The i…

Self-Regulating Platform for Drug-Eluting Medical Meshes
TS-074223 — Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a self‑regulating manufacturing platform for porous polymer meshes that integrates mesh formation and drug loading in a single step, enabling controlled local delivery from implantable materials.
Technology Overview Implantable meshes and porous polymer films are widely used in surgical, regenerative, and device‑based applications, but current products often separate structural support from drug delivery functions. This platform uses a reaction‑diffusion‑driven process to form poro…
