Methods and Devices for Disinfecting Exhaust Air from Ventilators and Other Systems from Viruses and Bacteria Contamination
Apparatus that disinfects contaminated exhaust air from life support devices and air filtration devices. The Invention This apparatus disinfects contaminated air from one or more life support devices such as a ventilator, biPAP, ECMO or an air filtration device from a car, ship, plane, building. As the exhaust air flows through the device, a heat...

Multimodal tissue perfusion assessment and monitoring device
The Invention: Current methods of planning and monitoring are not only expensive and limited but often consume significant amounts of physicians’ limited time. In an ideal world, a device would automatically localize the blood vessels within the tissue to be transferred pre-op with minimal physician time or energy input, and monitoring would...

Synthesizing and investigating novel synthetic cannabidiol congeners for enhanced clinical utility
The Invention: Developed an innovative method to convert caraway-derived (+)-carvone (1, $0.15/g) into (–)- isopiperitenol (3, $1000/g) – a critical intermediate that was previously employed in the synthesis (+)-ent-CBD [(+)-5, Scheme 1]. Of note, this four step process (1 to 3) can be performed on multi-gram scale and relies on the one-pot...

A method to create high quality vaccines using tuned monochromatic hard x-rays.
­The Invention: Propose using tuned/fixed energy penetrating and highly ionizing hard x-rays in the 7- 100 keV energy range to irradiate patients who are suffering from viral (e.g. COVID) and/or bacterial infections (e.g. pneumonia). The x-rays will target specific compounds/sites in viruses and/or bacteria with an aim to create highly localized...

Antifungal Denture Materials
Candida-associated denture stomatitis (CADS) is a common, recurrent disease in denture wearers and can lead to other oral health problems, systemic infections, compromised quality of life, and even death. Currently, there are no effective treatment strategies to control CADS, and the reinfection rate is high, particularly in the elderly and those who...

Hypohalide Salts
Inorganic hypohalide salts are excellent disinfecting agents with proven efficacy against a broad range of microorganisms and an outstanding safety record. However, the salts can be difficult to handle, store, and apply. USD’s technology provides an improved stability and storage of inorganic hypohalide salts, and also provides a method that can...

Sequential Material Deposition for Remineralization and Desensitization of Teeth
Demineralization of the teeth leads to hypersensitivity and dental caries, both significant public health concerns. This phenomenon is primarily caused by acids present in the mouth through the intake of acidic foods or beverages, the production of acids by bacteria present in the mouth, or the regurgitation of stomach acids. Demineralization exposes...
