This technology is a direct metal deposit with friction a friction stir process that results in a finished aggregated piece with comparable full structural quality to a wholly forged piece. This means that a broken part may be repaired...

The current active thermal electric cooling system being used for electronic components or systems has a low coefficient of performance (COP) which directly limits the application. The invention is a hybrid of both thermal ...

As part of the panel From Conception to Corporation: it's an idea, is it an invention?, Dr. Romano discussed topics relating to the innovation process, including how to document the innovation process, patent filing,and ...

independently, opening a new market segment in AF management. In the more established ICD market, it plans to commercialize its technology in industry partnerships. Current AF therapies are described as having “limited long term success and significant risks...

This technology is an improvement to the design of the conventional water heater resulting in faster hot water and more quantities of hot water provided to the user over the period of use. A smaller water heater may be utilized to provide a families...

invention developed by researchers at the University of Missouri is a new technology that will increase the DNA sensor sensitivity, specificity, and sensing speed over current methods. This novel invention consists of an electrolyte cell, an electrochemical...

of commercializing betavoltaic micro batteries. This invention reports a novel technique using liquid semiconductors for a microbattery based on MEMS technology. The specially designed microbattery is provided with high efficiency and a long life time. Potential...

can serious damage. Potential Areas of Applications: * Inkjet printheads * Other systems where orifice clogging of microfluidic systems is a problem such as droplet-on-demand technologies in drug discovery, genomics, and proteomics Patent Status: Non...

not affecting other cells in the body. The current invention developed by researchers at the University of Missouri is a novel agent for simultaneous, targeted gene and radiation therapy of blood cancers. The agent binds selectively to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma...

. Researchers at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center have discovered a biotechnological manipulation to improve crop growth and yield under different levels of nitrogen. At low nitrogen levels, this manipulation has...

or to protect animals from FMDV infection. Thus, an anti-viral drug has a strong market potential in agricultural states. The current invention developed by researchers at the University of Missouri is a small molecule that inhibits the RNA polymerase activity...

Researchers at the University of Missouri Kansas City have studied the synergistic effects of a novel combination of vitamins and flavanoids on cardiovascular risk factors, C-reactive protein levels, and nitric oxide production in the human body...

Correction of age-related optical changes in the eye, such as presbyopia, has been increasingly important. Researchers at the University of Missouri-St. Louis have conceived of a new and improved adaptive liquid crystal lens employing the hybrid...

A method of measuring the dielectric constant of a powder, including selecting a powder having an unknown first dielectric constant, selecting a liquid having a known second dielectric constant, and introducing a predetermined ...

SiCON is a nanocomposite thin film consisting of silicon dioxide, silicon carbide, and carbon nitride nanostructures deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. SiCON harnesses the beneficial characteristics ...

Microthrusters have applications in projectile guidance systems, and micro-nano-satellite control. Thrusters are an integral part of a guidance system that includes orientation and trajectory sensors and target recognition ...

Urinary aquaporin-I (AQP-1) and adipose differentiation-related protein (ADFP) as biomarkers of kidney cancer. This is a new process, applicable to humans, for 1) early and noninvasive detection of renal cancer, 2) population ...
