There is a critical need for accurate real-time sensors to detect and identify microbial pathogens.
Problem Statement:
Wastewater that leaks out of defective pipe joints and cracks contaminate ground and surface water and cause a host of other problems, including pipe structure failures due to erosion of soil support, and sinkholes due to erosion of underground soil.
The Concert Hands System (CHS) is the first to utilize Robotics and Haptic Technology to teach piano playing in a new and non-traditional way. The future of piano learning is here.
Linshom (“to breathe”) is first to deliver continuous predictive respiratory monitoring to the patient bedside and home. We eliminate the morbidity, mortality and cost due to unrecognized respiratory compromise in healthcare with the first PREDICTIVE respiratory device vs. the current RESPONSIVE systems used today.
Sustainable and Secure Sensor/Actuator
This novel invention is an environmentally friendly improvement to linear slides, sensors, and robotics. This novel actuator could be used in Aerospace, Military, Automotive, Automation, Medical and IoT applications.
The POWERBLoK system can replace the Lead, Cobalt, Cadmium, and Lithium used in common batteries with no thermal runaway risks.
Additionally per the 01/26/21 Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) assessment of the UCAP Power POWERBLoK,
THE PROBLEM:
There is no precise digital record of prior surgery. Consequently, patient safety suffers when follow-up surgery is required days, months and years later. Legacy out-of-date “analog” operative dictations are often imprecise, vague, incorrect, and obsolete. As a result,
PROBLEM
Lost biopsy specimens are a common problem and frequent cause of patient harm and medical malpractice. Lost biopsy specimens delay diagnosis and in cases of cancer, can deprive patients of years of life.
