Easy Apply Tourniquet (Pressure Stop)
Project ID: TECH2026-20 Background Approximately 4 million people worldwide die each year from traumatic injuries, with an estimated 30-40% caused by hemorrhage. A significant portion of hemorrhage-related deaths involve extremity bleeding. A tourniquet is a device designed to apply firm, circumferential pressure around a limb. Its purpose is to temporarily...
Portable Microlens Enhanced Multi-Modal Imaging and Sensing Platform
Project ID: TECH2025-15 Background Imaging and biosensing devices are used worldwide for a wide variety of applications from research to healthcare to environmental monitoring. However, these measurements become challenging in resource-limited settings such as remote areas or villages in third-world countries. In resource-limited settings, traditional...
A new design of high performance elastocaloric system by additive manufacturing
Solid-State High-Performance Cooling System Background Refrigeration and air conditioning currently account for approximately 17% of total global electricity consumption and approximately 40% of building energy consumption. Hydrofluorocarbons used in 99% of current cooling systems are green house gases that warm at a rate 100s of times greater than...
Solid Supports for Sorptive Thin Films for High-throughput Applications
Solid Supports for Sorptive Thin Films Background Sorptive Thin Films have found broad applicability as a separation method that allows for the isolation of organic molecules from aqueous samples, air and semisolids. In the field of analytical extractions, sorptive thin films are applied to techniques such as Thin-Film Solid Phase Microextraction...
Fully Automated Fraction Collection Instrument
Project ID: TECH-2023-10 Background Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is the preferred method to isolate and purify exosomes and extracellular vesicles. However, this technique is labor-intensive, requiring the operator to pipette samples, buffer, and wash into individual columns. Current solutions attempt to automate fraction collection, but still...
