Heavy Metal Sensing
VALUE PROPOSITION Heavy metal pollution in soils is widespread in the world, resulting from both natural sources and human activities (e.g., mining and smelting, industrial emission, fossil fuel combustion, etc.). Due to their toxicity, bioaccumulation, and environmental persistence, elevated levels of heavy metals in the environment pose major threats...

PMU-Embedded Analytics for Online Event Detection and Classification in Power Grids
The energy requirement of the world is increasing exponentially every year. With the power demand sites concentrated in the region with the highest population density, energy production sites must be located remotely. This isolation requires lengthy and complicated grids to be designed and manufactured to transmit power over long distances. Grid failures...

Wireless Intraocular Pressure Sensor to Monitor Glaucoma Patients
Executive SummaryGlaucoma is a leading cause of blindness that affects up to 3 million people in American. It can remain undetected until permanent vision loss is present. Measuring eye pressure during an office visit is a standard diagnostic tool. However, this measurement can only report on pressure during a brief time sample. Patients with variable...

Carbon Ion Beam Growth of Isotopically-Enriched Graphene and Isotope-Junctions
Isotopically-enriched graphene and isotope junctions are epitaxially grown on a catalyst substrate using a focused carbon ion beam technique. The focused carbon ion beam is filtered to pass substantially a single ion species including a single desired carbon isotope. The ion beam and filtering together provide a means to selectively isotopically-enrich...
