Recent Technologies
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
Hot Water Tank Insulation System Can Reduce Heat Loss by 20-30 Percent
33887 – Inexpensive, easy-to-install FlexCap insulation system enables consumers to save energy and lower hot water heating costs UCF researchers have invented an insulation system that can reduce a hot water tank’s heat loss by as much as 30 percent. Based on testing performed by the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), a hot water tank can lose a significant amount of heat through its top... Read More
Methods for Using Gold (III) Compounds to Potentially Treat Tuberculosis (TB)
33894 – Gold-Complexed Compounds May Effectively Inhibit the Growth of Replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium abscessus Pathogens Researchers at UCF and the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg have identified gold (III) compounds that demonstrate antimicrobial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab). The identified compounds... Read More
New Methods for Generating High-Energy, Broadband Mid-Infrared Laser Pulses
33905 – Invention Simplifies Laser Architecture to Generate Millijoule-Level Output at 2.4 Micrometers (μm) UCF researchers have invented a technique for creating broadband, high-energy laser pulses centered around the short- to mid-infrared region (2.4 μm). The technique, which can be applied to existing laser systems, simplifies laser architectures by requiring fewer gain passes to achieve... Read More
Novel Compounds to Treat Malaria May Also Alleviate Parasite Drug Resistance
32882 – New Marine-Based Compounds and Aurora Kinase Inhibitors May Effectively Combat Malaria UCF researchers have identified new compounds that may treat malaria infections more effectively than current anti-malarial drugs. The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, has developed resistance to most anti-malarial treatments, including chloroquine and artemisinin. Since the UCF anti-malarial... Read More
Fabrication and Characterization of 3D Printed, 3D Microelectrode Arrays (MEAs) with Spin-Coated Insulation and Functional Electrospun 3D Scaffolds
33871 – New MEA Fabrication Technology Enables the Development of Rapid Assays with 3D Cell-Based Biosensors for Toxicity Testing, Disease Modeling and Optical/Electrical Stimulation of Cell Types Exploded view of the 3D MEA: 3D microtowers, metallization, laminate insulation and containment culture well with a close-up of 10 recording sites per patch. Fully functional for “disease in a... Read More
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
