TS-073070 — Manufacturers need a flexible way to improve the quality of local material regions without heavy, fixed tooling or shallow, low‑energy peening. Today’s options often deliver limited depth of improvement, struggle on complex shapes, and can overload robots or require rework. A practical solutio…

TS-073051 — Surgeons routinely hand‑bend standard titanium or stainless‑steel fixation plates to conform to patient anatomy, a manual process that is time‑consuming, inconsistent, and prone to gaps, reversed bends, and unfavorable residual stress. Each of these factors can compromise fixation and outcom…

TS-070382 — The Need Current methods for joining metal components in space environments are often complex, energy-intensive, and can compromise the integrity of the materials due to heat-affected zones. There is a need for a reliable, low-power, and safe solution that can create strong metal bonds without causi…

TS-045092 — Shape memory alloys are metals that "remember" their original shape when deformed and can return to their initial shape when heated. These shape memory alloys cannot currently be welded to other alloys, which significantly limits their use. Current state-of-the-art methods of joining sha…
