Recent Technologies
Novel System for Capturing, Quantifying and Analyzing Therapy Interactions
33898 – Innovation aids counselors in diagnosing and treating a child’s behavioral disorder using quantifiable evidence from play therapy sessions. UCF researchers have designed a system that mental health professionals can use to capture and track quantifiable data about a child’s development and behavior during therapy sessions. The Science of Play system works in real time, monitoring... Read More
New Composition Offers Growers an Environmentally-Friendly Alternative to Over-Used Copper-Based Biocides
33981 – Antimicrobial magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles safely and effectively protect tomatoes and other crops against disease and soil contamination University of Central Florida researchers have developed an environmentally-friendly alternative to copper (Cu)-based biocides, which are commonly used to treat plant diseases caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses. Plant diseases make up 10-16... Read More
Molecular Chirality Detection Technique using Hybrid Plasmonic Substrates
33902 – System offers low-cost methods for efficiently and accurately detecting low levels of left- and right-handed enantiomers of drugs seeking FDA approval University of Central Florida researchers have designed a system that can accurately identify the chirality of drugs, proteins, DNA and other molecules at lower detection limits than conventional detection systems. With the ability to... Read More
Weather-Responsive Smart Ventilation System Using Multiple Parameters
33948 – New whole-house mechanical ventilation controls enhance HVAC systems to provide homeowners with added energy savings and indoor air comfort UCF researchers have developed a smart ventilation system that can be used with new or existing residential heating and cooling systems to improve indoor air quality, reduce costs and save energy. Most ventilation control systems are simplistic, using... Read More
Chemical Sensor with Real-Time, Remote Detection Capabilities and 3D Output
33957 – New detection system can scan gas mixtures from a distance and provide quantifiable data about specific chemicals in the mixture. Researchers from UCF and the United States Navy have invented an optical detection system designed to identify and quantify the chemicals in a gas mixture from a distance and in real time. The new system can provide a 3D mapping/readout of the mixture’s... Read More
Unique Nanocomposites for Fiber- and Planar-Infrared Laser Applications
33951 – Glass-nanocrystal material can be made into optical fibers, thin films and bulk optical elements. UCF researchers have invented a low loss optical nanocomposite material made of glass and high concentrations of nanocrystals (NCs). Unlike conventional crystal laser media, the new glass ceramic medium can be drawn into fiber, coated onto films, deposited as waveguides or formed as bulk... Read More
Amino Acid Import Inhibitors as Antiproliferative Agents
33949 – New compounds that focus on depriving cells of key nutrients may be useful as anticancer and anti-infective agents. Researchers at UCF and the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies have identified new compounds to inhibit the growth of human cancers and parasitic infections through nutrient deprivation. The compounds inhibit the import of large neutral amino acids such as leucine... Read More
Non-Polyamine-Based Polyamine Transport Inhibitors to Treat Cancer and Infectious Diseases
33850 – Novel PTIs help block escape pathways of cancers treated with polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors like alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO). Researchers at UCF and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBPMDI) have identified novel non-polyamine-based polyamine transport inhibitor (PTI) compounds to treat cancers with high polyamine requirements. Since the compounds are not... Read More
Omnidirectional, Polarization-Independent, All-Dielectric Light Trapping Scheme
33979 – Novel biomimetic design approach enables manufacturers to cost-effectively produce ultrathin, flexible, durable solar cells that capture the most energy from daylight as it strikes from multiple directions. UCF researchers have developed a novel architecture and process for producing low-cost, ultrathin, flexible and durable solar cells that can be easily fabricated using roll-to-roll... Read More
Antimicrobial Compositions for Treating Clostridium Infections
33842 – New methods using puupehenone compounds may kill or prevent Clostridium difficile infections. A UCF researcher has developed new methods for using puupehenone compounds to possibly treat illnesses caused by Clostridium bacterial strains, such as C. difficile. Puupehenone is a marine natural product excreted by some species of sponges and coral as a defense mechanism. The UCF invention may... Read More
