Example diagrams of the UCF tactile display apparatus design: (a) shows an external view and (b) shows an internal view of the device.

Tactile Display Apparatus for Palpation Simulation and Telemedicine

34063 – Innovative training device enables medical students to experience the near-real sensation of touch, similar to human palpation. Researchers at the University of Central Florida have designed a haptic training device that medical students can use to better distinguish between normal and abnormal lumps in the body. By providing the sensation of touch and the ability to vary the size and... Read More

The UCF liquid metal coating promotes the uniform deposition of lithium ions in a battery cell and prevents dendritic growth. It thus provides a stable solid electrolyte interface for separating the lithium metal anode from the electrolyte.

Low-Cost Lithium Battery Cell Uses a Unique Semi-Liquid Metal Buffer to Prevent Dendrite Growth

34036 – Battery cell’s novel coating stabilizes lithium metal surfaces, enabling the development of next-generation energy storage technologies such as lithium-air and lithium-sulfur batteries. Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed an inexpensive battery cell that overcomes the safety hazards, performance problems and capacity loss associated with using lithium metal as...

New Approach for Determining Nanomaterial (NM) Biodistribution in the Body Offers an Alternative to Animal Testing

34037 – System with predictive computer modeling enables nanomaterial drug screening tests that effectively measure NM-cell interactions in vivo. Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a new system to quantify and accurately predict the biodistribution of nanomaterials (NMs) in the body, reducing the need for animal studies. Using a novel quantitative fluorescence-based in... Read More

Modular Device for 3D Printers Quantifies and Treats Filament in Real Time

34202 – System for additive manufacturing enables accurate, cost-effective tracking of the used and unused filament in new or existing 3D printers. Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a novel 3D printer filament feed system that can track, quantify, and coat/treat filaments used in additive manufacturing printers. Such capabilities are lacking in many 3D printer designs... Read More

As shown in figures (a) and (b), the new UCF blood-sampling syringe fully incorporates a nucleic acid purification function. The graph (c) shows the effectiveness of the tool’s DNA capture. Researchers used a real-time PCR to quantify and compare the captured DNA to the original blood sample.

Novel Syringe for One-Step Purification and Medical Diagnosis

34133 – Integrated syringe combines blood sample collection and nucleic acid preparation functions to speed diagnostic testing for infectious diseases. Researchers at the University of Central Florida have designed an innovative syringe that can simultaneously draw a patient’s blood and extract/purify nucleic acids from the sample. Thus, a simple blood draw results in a prepared sample ready for... Read More

Figure 1. The graphic (a) schematically illustrates an experimental incoherent light-illuminated DCNN-GALOF imaging system without distal optics. The light source is a low-cost LED. To quantify the amount of fiber bending (b) the offset distance was measured as the distance from the end of the bent fiber to the position of the straight fiber (equal to the length of the dashed line).

System Combines Glass-Air Optical Fiber Imaging and Deep Learning to Capture Accurate, Real-Time Views of Biological Objects

34029 – New approach can transmit artifact-free images of cell structures in vivo despite temperature fluctuations and optical fiber bending. Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a lensless fiber-optic imaging system that overcomes the expense and complications associated with existing multicore and multimode fiber-based imaging systems (MCFs, MMFs). More robust, compact... Read More

In the example operation, Anubis acts whenever metadata changes occur in the Counter Cache (3) or the Merkle Tree Cache (4). The operation reduces the need for extra updates to the shadow counter and shadow Merkle tree tables (SCT and SMT). It also lowers the overhead significantly without hurting recoverability.

Secure Non-Volatile Memory System Offers Ultra-Low Recovery Time, Overhead

34136 – Low-cost, hardware-only memory controller system enables quick recovery and verification of Merkle tree- and Intel® SGX-protected non-volatile memories (NVMs). Researchers at the University of Central Florida have designed a hardware-only system that can recover integrity-protected non-volatile memories (NVMs) faster and more cost-efficiently than other memory...
