Vibrational Radar Backscatter Communications
Unmet Need The advent of autonomous driving powered by computational detection and assessment of vehicle surroundings by things like vision and radar has shown a lot of promise for self-driving vehicles. However, these systems can…
Rapid, responsive, and active dissection insertion device for large-bore chest tubes
Unmet Need Tube Thoracostomy, a critical procedure for removing fluids and air from around the lungs and heart, has a high complication rate of 20% due to the technical skill required and anatomical differences between…
Clinically-Linked ECG and Arrhythmia Repository (CLEAR)
Invention Summary Duke inventors have developed a database of digital 12- lead ECG samples that represent key rhythms of cardiac disorders. Each patient’s disorder was validated by a licensed and board-certified cardiovascular medicine physician to…
Transcriptional alterations during blood storage to monitor stored red cells and reduce storage-lesions
Unmet Need Currently, red blood cell (RBC) testing focuses on factors such as hemoglobin content, RBC count, blood typing, and antibody content. These tests, though comprehensive, do not measure the health and quality of RBCs.…
A method for end-to-end spatial accuracy quality assurance for radiosurgery
Unmet Need Radiation therapy is an essential element of cancer treatment that benefits 4 million diagnosed patients every year. The ability to deliver complex three-dimensional distributions of dose that conform to even irregularly shaped lesions…
Wearable smart radiation reporting material
Unmet Need Excess radiation exposure can result in DNA damage and tissue injury. Individuals who are occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation need to monitor and track radiation exposures. Small, personal radiation dosimeters currently exist, but…
Tools for the rational design of improved odorant ligands and receptors
Unmet Need Our sense of smell, or olfaction, is integral to myriad aspects of everyday life, from our health and safety to our personal preferences. Yet the mechanisms behind olfaction are not well understood, leading…
Reagentless biosensors to detect multiple analytes
Unmet Need Although biosensors are in widespread use to detect and report analytes, such as the level of nutrients in food and beverage samples, blood glucose in patients, and contamination in water samples, many suffer…
Sensing human presence in a room using dynamic metasurface antennas
Unmet Need The current primary method for detecting the presence of humans inside of a building or room is the use of motion detectors that rely on radio frequency or infrared light. The global market…
Night vision devices using pyroelectric sensor with metamaterial based heat control
Unmet Need Night vision and thermal imaging are key technologies used by the military, security and rescue services around the world in combat operations, intelligence, surveillance and guidance systems. They are also widely employed in…
Wickless vapor chamber
Value Proposition Thermal diodes are devices that rectify heat flows. Thermal diodes that have been reported suffer from drawbacks such as low diodicities (typically <1.1), reduced rectification (<10), and challenges to design a system to…
Electronic biosensor platform
A sensor comprising an electronic circuit electrically coupled to a type III-V semiconductor material, for example indium arsenide (InAs) and an antibody contacting the type III-V semiconductor material. The sensor produces measurable changes in the…
