Detection and monitoring of COPD severity with wearable photoplethysmography
A wearable, non-invasive point of care tool to diagnose and monitor chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) severity
Method for sorting cells based on avidity interactions
A microfluidic device designed to accelerate the development of T-cell immunotherapies for cancer.
Centrifugal Compressor Inlet Duct Device for Improved Flow Range
Innovative compressor inlet invention which increases compressor flow range with use of an inlet duct that pre-swirls inlet flow of turbocharger compressor.
Fast warm stamping of ultra-high strength steel sheets
A novel fast warm forming method which improves the manufacturing productivity of high-strength metal sheet parts
A noise-reduction protocol for EPR/NMR and quantum sensing
A novel cooling technique to improve the speed and sensitivity of RF measurements. The technique allows quantum measurements to be performed with room-temperature equipment, as well as more sensitive and quicker EPR and NMR measurements.
A method to manufacture porous metal mats for catalysis and energy applications
A novel method to fabricate porous metal mats with high porosity, variable/controllable thicknesses, high surface area and good mechanical strength
