Invention Description Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas and affects nearly 10 million people globally. Because glucose needs to be continuously monitored for precise insulin dosing, managing T1D is challenging. While automated insulin delivery (AID) systems...

Invention Description Functionally graded materials (FGMs) offer the ability to create structures with spatially varying properties, enabling advanced performance in applications such as biomedical devices, soft robotics, and high-performance composites. However, existing multi-material 3D printing systems, such as stereolithography, are often slow...

Invention Description Breast pain (mastalgia) can be attributed to many things, including hormones, diseases, breast asymmetry and improper breast support. Mastalgia is very common, affecting up to 70% of women across the globe at some point in their lives. Current remedies, including anti-inflammatories and hormonal treatments address symptoms but...

There are numerous neurological disorders which involve the mesial temporal lobe structures of the brain, such as the hippocampus, amygdala and entorhinal cortex, but may not be adequately treated with pharmaceuticals. Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques may offer a better option for treating these disorders, however, implanting or placement...

Nitric species such as nitric oxides are important environmental pollutants as well as key breath biomarkers of respiratory diseases. A chemical sensor that can quickly, selectively and sensitively detect these analytes will find applications not only in environmental monitoring, but also as a non-invasive medical diagnosis and management device. Current...

It is widely recognized that neuromodulation can relieve some symptoms of neurological disorders as well as enhance neuroplasticity, learning and recovery of function. While most work has focused on direct neuromodulation to stimulate the cortex and evoke a cortical response, more recent studies have shown that indirect approaches may also enhance neuroplasticity...

Maintaining normal glucose levels through dietary and lifestyle behaviors can help with losing weight, optimizing mental health, suppressing food cravings, improving sleep, managing diabetes, and reducing risks of developing cardiovascular disease. Dysglycemia can lead to chronic complications such as diabetes, kidney disease, myocardial infarction,...

Dermatology and beauty product research and development and testing has been limited to animal testing, which in some countries has been banned. Because of increasing controversial issues surrounding animal testing of these dermatology or beauty products, there has been increasing interest in developing in-vivo like in-vitro models for skin research. ...

Radio Frequency (RF) coils transmit and receive RF signals in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Designing FR coils is a challenge because they often have to operate at multiple frequencies and it is difficult to enable them to resonate at multiple frequencies or switch their resonating frequencies. Positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diodes are commonly...
