Recent Technologies

Mode Demultiplexing Hybrid Simplifies Coherent Optical Front End

34398 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have designed a single device that integrates mode demultiplexing, local oscillator power splitting, and optical 90-degree phase deconstruction using a multi-plane light converter (MPLC). As a result, the invention enables more reliable and robust coherent optical signals for communications systems. Today’s current optical front... Read More

Low-Temperature Catalysts for Effective Reduction of Nitrogen Oxide (NOX) Emissions

34359 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida and BASF Corporation have developed a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology that can efficiently remove nitrogen oxide (NO) emissions at temperatures less than 200 degrees Celsius. Nitrogen oxides are major pollutants emitted from internal combustion engines. Examples include gasoline and diesel vehicles and stationary... Read More

CRISPR-Based Imaging System Detects Target Gene Loci in Live Cells

34082 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida and the University of Massachusetts have developed a CRISPR-based system for detecting DNA repeat expansion sequences—genetic mutations that cause diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The CRISPR Arrayed Repeat Detection System (CARDS) can detect multiple mutated genes simultaneously in a single assay.... Read More

Scalable Approach for Fabricating Thermally Stable, Low-Temperature Catalysts

34292 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a low-cost, scalable approach for using any reducible metal oxide or mixed metal oxide materials to fabricate thermally stable, low-temperature catalysts. The UCF invention offers a solution for automakers tasked with meeting increasingly stringent emissions standards. For example, future catalytic systems will need... Read More

Digital Scheme for Cryptocurrency Wallet Backup and Recovery

34225 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a digital mechanism that provides a secure, convenient way for cryptocurrency users to back up the private keys in their hardware wallets and restore them when needed. A crypto hardware wallet (such as a USB stick, Bluetooth device or smartcard) generates private keys for a user to protect crypto assets, like... Read More

As illustrated, the new UCF technology may be implemented using planar arrays such as an organic light-emitting diode array.

Imaging-Based Transmitter and Receiver for Free-Space Optical Communications

34131 – Key points: Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a robust and cost-effective solution for line-of-site control (LOS)—also known as beam steering—in emerging free-space optical communications (FOC) systems. Instead of using conventional radio frequencies, FOC systems employ optical domain carrier frequencies to establish direct LOS data links between... Read More

As shown in the example, at least a portion of the precious metal (PGM–platinum group metal) encapsulated between the base material and the irreducible metal oxides may be shuttled to the surface of the metal oxide to form stable, catalytically active sites that can resist sintering at high temperatures.

Low-Cost Method for Producing Highly Stable, Active Precious Metal Catalysts

34303 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a novel universal technique for fabricating precious metal catalysts that exhibit both high catalytic activity and excellent thermal stability. UCF’s Reverse Loading and Metal Shuttling Strategy offers a low-cost solution to traditional fabrication methods, such as those that require complex preparation procedures or... Read More

The images compare the flight of respiratory droplets after a simulated sneeze (horizontal velocity versus vertical velocity). Shown are instantaneous velocity contours of saliva, cornstarch and saliva, and mask test cases 185ms after the event starts.

Edible Confections to Reduce Cough- or Sneeze-Induced Pathogen Transmission

34433 – Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a composition of edible ingredients that may reduce the transmissibility of airborne pathogens from person to person. Airborne-transmitted pathogens often spread through close contact between humans via respiratory functions. This includes sneezing, coughing, talking and breathing. For example, coughing causes a...

Example prototype of the UCF 3D-printed fingertip pediatric laryngoscope-intubation device.

3D-Printed Fingertip Pediatric Laryngoscope for Safer, Faster Intubation

34054 – New flexible device can be custom-printed to fit a child’s respiratory tract and minimize intubation trauma from surgical procedures. Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a combined pediatric laryngoscope and intubation medical device that facilitates tracheal intubation while reducing patient trauma. The low-cost, 3D-printed innovation is more flexible and... Read More
