Enzyme/Redox Polymer Supercapacitor Device

Invention SummaryU-6166 is a hybrid enzyme redox polymer supercapacitor bio-battery capable of generating a capacitance on the order of 300±100 F/g when multi-walled carbon nanotubes are used in conjunction with redox polymers. When multi-walled carbon nanotubes only are used, a capacitance on the order of 102 F/g is obtained; therefore, the...

Hybrid halide perovskite field-effect transistors

Invention SummaryThis technology focuses on the development of the first halide organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite field-effect transistor (FET). These transistors are often employed to amplify the strength of a relatively weak signal. The current runs along a semiconductor channel and the electrical diameter of the channel is altered based on the...

Method for Measuring Distance in Three Dimensions

Invention SummaryThis technology represents a novel approach to automatically detecting the distance between points in three-dimensional space. The approach allows for more freedom as the monitors do not need to directly align and the accuracy of the system is independent of environmental factors such as brightness or fiber length. This technology could...

Enhanced Visual Feedback of a Prosthetic or Robotic Manipulator

Invention SummaryA novel method to visually convey the magnitude of applied grip force by a prosthetic or robotic hand. Lights are attached to the moving elements of the prosthetic which is equipped with sensors. The sensors are used to change the intensity and make it easy to discern the applied force by a manipulator. With the additional force feedback...

Implantable Antennas

Invention SummaryThe proposed technology seeks to fundamentally change the design of implantable antennas by tattooing (nearly invisible) conductive nanoparticles in the skin and adjacent fat layer at the body surface. This will allow the antenna to use as much surface area as needed, and dramatically reduce the transmission lost in the body tissues....

Pi-Conjugated Heavy Metal Polymers For Organic White Light Emitting Diodes

Invention SummaryOrganic light emitting diodes are primarily used in display devices and sometimes in lighting devices. Poor quality of white light emitted by these diodes and their complex fabrication methods may make them undesirable. A new polymer has been synthesized and characterized that emits a broad spectrum which appears white to human eyes....
