This invention gives smart USB and power cables both power connection and power conversion capabilities for complex mobile devices, reducing implementation space, decreasing costs, and improving device efficiency with less heat loss.
Collaborative robots are challenged by unknown objects, which results in damage and underutilization in settings that require handling of new parts or goods. Dr. Nikolaus Correll has developed a streamlined software and infrared proximity sensor system that can replace cameras and grippers on existing robots to increase robot safety and efficiency.
Dr. Tor Wagner's team at CU Boulder uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) coupled with machine learning to identify neurologic pain signatures, allowing for the consistent, objective measurement of acute and chronic pain.
Researchers in the labs of Drs. Ronggui Yang and Xiaobo Yin developed a thin film made out of glass microspheres, polymer and metals that uses passive radiative cooling to dissipate heat, even under direct sunlight, with zero energy consumption.
