Biosensors for Continuous Detection of Analytes
Diagnosing and monitoring diseases and health often requires detecting and measuring concentrations of one or more analytes in a patient. Frequent trips to a healthcare facility are onerous and expensive and at home testing is painful, sometimes laborious and time consuming. All of this may lead to a lack of regular testing, and could mean missed diagnoses...

Improved performance of Zn-Br2 static batteries with internal magnetic fields
Unmet Need: Zinc dendrite growth and cross-diffusion of bromide ions causes failure in Zn-Br2 static batteries. Flowless zinc bromide (Zn-Br2) batteries show potential as cost-effective, safe alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. However, uneven metal deposition leading to the growth of zinc dendrites limits the efficiency and durability of static...

Prosthetic Limb Structures & Fabrication Methods
Congenital limb defects or loss of a limb through an accident can severely impede an individual’s mobility and ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. Artificial limbs, or prosthetics, are intended to restore a degree of normal function to amputees or individuals with congenital limb defects. Because of variations in sizes and shapes of individuals...

Restenosis or Thrombosis Sensing Stent
Over 600,000 cardiovascular stents are implanted each year and about 2-3% of those will fail within six months of surgery. Signs of stent failure can range from no symptoms at all to typical heart attack type symptoms. Restenosis and thrombosis are the most common culprits for stent failure. While the percent of stent failures is relatively low, the...

Device to Measure Load on Spine Segments in the Lumbar Region
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), a condition which causes the spine to curve sideways, affects as many as 4 in 100 adolescents, according to the Scoliosis Research Society. The most common treatment of this condition is surgery, with positive outcomes correlating with greater technique and experience of the surgeon. There are about 29,000 AIS...
