Materials and methods for ultra-high heat management in electronics and other critical components

This technology includes a suite of inventions, including a fully-functional coded-exposure-pixel (CEP) camera prototype, a novel programmable CMOS sensor, and a method for adaptive adjustment of exposure of every pixel, based on changes in the brightness of the scene for that pixel to extend dynamic range at native sensor resolution.

an optical atomic clock that is both precise enough to detect gravitational waves, and compact and portable enough that it could be put on a satellite. The clock design makes use of a “two-photon transition” in calcium atoms.

This invention is a platform to improve the functionality of the conventional surface plasmon resonance-based sensors.

iTest is a turn-key and modular software and hardware platform for testing physical motors remotely over the Internet.

This opportunity is a portfolio of hardware and software techniques that seamlessly accelerate AI/ML applications, while saving on-chip and off-chip memory, bandwidth, and processing power. These compute and compression methods have been shown to deliver a 3x boost in processing speed with 2x-4x increase in storage capabilities (up to 10x for natural language processing).

Quantum-proof cybersecurity products and enabling technologies for the Quantum Internet. These technologies offer quantum-safe communication products ready for today's infrastructure, while building key components of the Quantum Internet, including Quantum Repeaters, Quantum Communication Protocols, and Quantum Network Simulators.

Electronic Systems for Monitoring, Diagnosis, and Control of Physiological Disorders

Centivizer is a modular system that physically, cognitively, and socially stimulates individuals with dementia by providing self-initiated, reward-based activities that can be used 24/7 without needing caregiver support.

BinPro combines static analysis, graph matching and ML to detect and mitigate the threat of maliciously inserted backdoors by conducting binary source code audits.
