Recent Technologies
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
Low-Cost Brightness Enhancement of Laser Sources Using Photonic Lanterns
33903 – New system enables manufacturers to reduce the cost and space needed to combine and boost the output brightness of semiconductor laser sources UCF researchers have invented a system that requires less physical space and is less expensive than other laser brightness enhancement systems. By uniquely integrating few-mode fiber and photonic lantern technologies, the new system enables the... Read More
Tunable Graphene-Based Method for Detecting Mid-Infrared (IR) Radiation
33901 – New method offers low-cost, uncooled multi-spectral IR detection and imaging in the 8-12 µm bands UCF researchers have invented a low-cost method that can enable ultrafast, tunable mid-IR detection and imaging without the need for expensive and complex cryogenic cooling. The novel graphene-based method paves the way for multi-spectral imaging in the mid-IR domain, which is not available in... Read More

Low-Cost Test for Distinguishing Between Real and Synthetic Urine
34002 – Test for identifying fake urine when screening workers for illicit drugs UCF researchers have invented a test for determining whether a human urine sample is authentic or synthetic. The invention offers a possible low-cost solution to a growing problem in which people try to cheat job-related drug tests by submitting fake (synthetic) urine samples. Currently, employers must use external... Read More
