The Bottom Feeder project is designed to prove out the research done in Phase I using a prototype platform. The prototype will be a full size version of the platform designed during Phase I. The Phase I platform was designed to work in two operational configurations, a highly efficient mode and a highly maneuverable mode, with the ability to switch between them while submerged. The platform is equ ...

This application describes the commercialization of the Geodesic Transcranial Electrical Neuromodulation (GTEN) technology to achieve noninvasive neuromodulation with improved spatiotemporal precision. The GTEN system enables both EEG source analysis and configurable electrical neuromodulation with the 256 electrodes of the Geodesic Sensor Net. Now in beta release to selected research customers, t ...

Abstract Significance: Donor tissue shortage remains a critical problem in lung transplantation. Recent advances in tissue engineering have allowed for the possibility of generating bioengineered lungs from decellularized organ scaffolds. These scaffolds, created from the donor’s tissue, become functionalized after recellularization with a patient’s own cells. However, translation of whole-lun ...
