| Case ID | Technology | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2021-023 | Scalable inter-diffused zwitterionic polyurethanes for durable antibacterial coatings | A novel antibacterial zwitterionic polyurethane developed to form inter-diffused coating films with commercialized acrylic polyurethanes. The antibacterial property is due to the hydrophilic zwitterionic polyurethane. Long-term use for both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria is highly… |
| 2021-019 | System and Methods for Estimating Sympathetic Arousal and Energy Production from Skin Conductance and Blood Cortisol Measurements | Skin conductance-based sympathetic sensors that can be embeded in wear technology that can measure the arousal cotisol levels in the blood for a more acturate reading. The sensor is able to estimate internal brain-related/neural states from the data that is collected from unobserved internal states… |
| 2021-008 | Novel Technology to Monitor Membrane Protein Trafficking for Drug Discovery and Drug Development | High-throughput screening (HTS) has enabled successful unbiased drug-discovery and development of novel therapies. Much of its success has to do with the membrane proteins targeted, and the drugs directed to receptors that have underlying roles in a myriad of diseases,including cancer, heart… |
| 2021-003 | Blue-emitting phosphors | Lighting accounts for 15%of global energy consumption. Replacing traditional lighting with an energy-efficient, phosphor-converted light-emitting diode(pc-LED) is one of the most convenient and affordable methods to drastically decrease energy consumption. Currently, commercially viable phosphors… |
| 2021-002 | Vaccines for the Prevention & Treatment of Breast Cancer | Unique amino acid sequences at the junctions of fusion or truncated proteins translated from chimeric RNAs form neoantigen peptide sites capable of inducing anti-tumor immune responses. Our objective is to find recurrent fusion transcripts that have the potential to generate candidate neoantigens… |
| 2020-059 | Engineering a novel single-chain viral membrane-protein complex of coronavirus (such as COVID-19 (SARS-Cov-2)) for more immunogenic vaccination and others | The current spike (S) protein-based vaccine for coronavirus (such as SARS-Cov-2) may have limited immunogenicity, duration of antibody production and ability resistant to the S-protein mutation. This invention is to engineer a novel single cDNA encoded a single polypeptide-chain of viral membrane… |
