A Stretching/Bending-Insensitive Flexible Pressure Sensor with Carbon Nanotube-PDMS

Zhang R., Stevens Institute of Technology, US

Flexible pressure sensors have many successful applications in personal electronic devices, artificially intelligence, and industrial production applications [1]. Despite the good performance and high flexibility, the measurement of pressure under dynamic deformation has remained difficult [...]

Self-assembly via a quantum control tracking system

Kohn W., Zabinsky Z., Nerode A., Veritone, US

A nano-manufacturing facility requires high levels of precision due to the strong quantum effects for devices at a 2 to 4 nanometer footprint. We develop a feedback process control to realize a 3-D scaffolding approach. [...]

Discovering of Collagen-1’s Role in Producing Superconducting Current in Nanobiomimetic Superlattice Structured Organometallic Devices at Room Temperature Enabled Direct Quantitation of Sub pg/mL Collagen-1 by a Voltage and a Cyclic Voltammetry Method

Chen E.T., Thornton J.T., Kissinger P.T., Duh S-H, Advanced Biomimetic Sensors, Inc., US

Cooper pair electrons producing superconducting current in near zero Kelvin temperature at the Josephson-junction in the superconductors show its potential utilities. Could also a superconducting current produced by a superlattice organometallic device enable direct detection [...]

HPC4Manufacturing Program: A National Laboratory – Industry Partnership in High Performance Computational Simulations for Energy Efficiency

Miles R., Diachin L., Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, US

The HPC4Manufacture program is a new EERE-sponsored program with the aims of introducing industry to High Performance Computing for advanced science and engineering simulations, transferring advanced simulation techniques developed at the National Laboratories to industry [...]

A new EKF SLAM algorithm of lidar-based AGV fused with bearing information

Ye C. Zhou H.X., Stevens Institue of Techonlogy, US

Lidar-based Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is widely used in various kinds of transportation tasks as a kind of intelligent logistics equipment. To realize the navigation, lidar-based AGV has to know its location and pose when [...]

Application of Machine Learning and Swarm Intelligence to Wastewater Treatment

, Cascade Clean Energy, Inc., US

Swarm intelligence (SI) is a branch of artificial intelligence, which has been existing in nature among grouping and activities of animals, birds, ants, fish or even microbes. Swarm Intelligence is the collective behavior of decentralized, [...]

Molecular Modeling of Silicon-Based Anode Material for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Schweizer S., Low J.J., Subramanian L., Scienomics, US

Lithium(Li)-ion batteries are widely used in portable electronic devices. Their use as energy storage system in other important industrial fields - such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, or photo voltaic plants - is limited by [...]

In-Transit Visibility and Total Asset Visibility for Cold Chain Supply Logistics

McCleland B., Russell T.W., Myconi Technologies, US

Thousands of temperature sensitive products that require continual monitoring and controls are shipped every day. Last year, temperature-compromised pharmaceutical products cost the industry $35.0 billion. Almost 30% of products in the perishable food market were [...]

SERS Detection of DNA-Bound Methylthioninium Chloride on Gold Coated Substrates.

Shattique M.R., Stepanova M., Missouri State University, US

Nano-biological systems interfacing solid nano-structured solid surfaces with biological compounds such as oligonucleotides or proteins are highly regarded as enabling materials for biosensing and biocatalysis applications. In particular nanostructures of noble metals such as gold [...]

Beyond Visualization – Vivid Frameworks for Ubiquitous Sensor Data

Paradiso J., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

We have already witnessed profound and often unanticipated developments as IoT is built out and the world is mediated via mainly graphical wireless devices held at arm’s length. But what will happen once the world [...]
