This technology covers MEMS antenna devices, systems, and manufacturing methods that achieve isolation between the antenna structure and the driving circuitry using a ground-plane isolation approach, including embodiments that can be fabricated using a single silicon wafer (reducing fabrication comp[…]
A rapid, colorimetric nucleic-acid detection approach that uses unmodified colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and a sequence-specific oligonucleotide “oligotargeter”. After hybridization of the oligotargeter to a target nucleic acid (optionally following amplification), AuNP aggregation behavior c[…]
This technology relates to asymmetric polymer–carbon nanotube (CNT) composite porous membranes for water filtration and desalination. The membrane integrates randomly oriented (optionally functionalized) CNTs within a polymer matrix in a single membrane layer, and is manufactured using a scalable ph[…]
This technology relates to a voltage regulator architecture that generates a regulated output from an input voltage using a switched-capacitor circuit that periodically produces multiple intermediate voltage levels, followed by a low-pass filter to provide the regulated output. The approach uses pha[…]
