Small Diffusive in Situ Soil Gas Probes and Sampling System for Online Soil Gas Measurements
This invention is a small soil gas sampling probe that is connected to an individual recirculating loop that includes a micropump and a multiport selective flow-through valve. This design allows for gas to be recirculated and flow through the recirculating loop until analysis. Analysis of the soil gas sample is performed by small sensors using an online...

Assistive Device for Patients with Somatosensory Impairment in the hands
Patients with neurological conditions, particularly stroke patients, often suffer from somatosensory impairment, or loss of feeling, in their hands. Because they can’t gauge the force of their grip, they have difficulty picking up items and may inadvertently crush or drop them, causing embarrassment and reduced quality of life. While there are...

Twistron Mechanical Energy Harvesters
Mechanical energy harvesters are needed for diverse applications, including self-powered wireless sensors, structural and human health monitoring systems, automotive technologies, and the extraction of energy from ocean waves. Until now, few harvesters have been flexible enough to be used as yarns in textiles, and the performance of such yarns has been...

New RNAi-mediated method for resistance to soybean cyst nematode
Homozygous siRNA-transgenic soybean plants are 40-80% (approx.) more resistant to soybean cyst nematode as compared to the wild type plants (wt). The percentage of reduction in egg number is shown above the bar for each transgenic soybean line. Invention Summary: Rutgers scientists have developed a new method for inducing resistance to soybean cyst...
