New LIDAR Receiver Architecture Boosts Signal Quality at Lower Cost

33950 – Few-Mode Preamplified Receiver Design Improves LIDAR Performance in Autonomous Vehicles UCF researchers have developed an innovation in remote sensing technology that may help speed the large-scale deployment of LIDAR (light detection and ranging) in autonomous vehicles. With its novel few-mode (FM) preamplified receiver architecture, the new UCF LIDAR system has demonstrated a... Read More

Results of an experiment using a set of nodes in a wireless mesh network with DSM and a conventional routing approach (without DSM). As the red graph line of the non-DSM approach shows, an increase in the demand for a video increases lag time and makes the video essentially unwatchable.

Low-Cost Data Merging Technique Significantly Reduces Internet Video Traffic

33560 – Unique method enables Tier 1 internet service providers (ISPs) and large content providers to conserve network resources while distributing streaming content on demand without crashes, interruption or delays A UCF researcher has developed a distributed video routing method that can streamline a network’s internet traffic, even during times of unexpected high demand for data. Unlike current... Read More

Cost-Effective Imaging System Uses RF Magnetic Field and Loop Bolometer Array to Produce MRI-Quality Images

33853 – New System Can Generate Detailed Images of Internal Body Structures and Identify Defects Embedded in Electronic Circuits UCF researchers have designed a new imaging system that captures detailed, 3D views of an object’s internal structures and is more affordable, compact and transportable than other systems. The invention is safe to use for both medical and scientific applications, since... Read More

Genetic Markers and Therapeutic Targets for Diagnosis and Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis

11283 – Newly identified association between single nucleotide polymorphisms and intestinal bacteria in rheumatoid arthritis patients may provide new approaches for treatment Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that has been linked to infectious agents such as the bacteria, Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). While the exact cause of RA is unknown,... Read More
