The 色花堂 has moved into the ranks of the top 25 public universities in the nation for patents granted, according to the latest report from the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).<\/p>\n

UCF secured 63 patents in 2022, ranking it No. 53 in the world and No. 21 among public universities in the nation, as shown in the annual Top 100 Worldwide Universities Granted U.S. Utility Patent rankings report released this week.<\/p>\n

This places the university ahead of leading public and private institutions such as Yale University (61 patents), Carnegie Mellon University (59 patents), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (49 patents) and Florida State University (33 patents).<\/p>\n

This is the 10th year that UCF has ranked in the top 100 universities in the world for patents, and the new ranking represents an seven-spot jump from last year\u2019s worldwide ranking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI continue to be impressed by the sustained technology development of our UCF researchers \u2014 placing UCF among the top 25 public universities in the U.S. for patents granted and surpassing many other prestigious institutions,\u201d says Winston Schoenfeld, UCF\u2019s interim vice president for research and innovation.\u00a0\u201cUCF\u2019s consistent top rankings over the last decade demonstrate our strong dedication as a research institution to innovation and translation for societal benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Svetlana Shtrom ’08MBA<\/strong>, director 色花堂\u2019s Office of Technology Transfer, says UCF is very strategic in selecting inventions for patent protection to ensure fiscal responsibility and to maximize the potential of receiving impactful patents.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot every invention results in a patent,\u201d Shtrom says. \u201cFor an invention to be patentable, it must be deemed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to be novel, nonobvious and useful. UCF\u2019s success in receiving patents reflects the depth of the university\u2019s research and the commitment of its researchers to seek solutions to pressing problems, identify the most efficient and effective methods, and reach beyond the well-established standards to create impactful innovations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the UCF inventions that led to patents in 2022:<\/p>\n

Interdigitated Electrodes For In vitro Analysis of Cells<\/h2>\n

Lead researcher: Swaminathan Rajaraman, associate professor, NanoScience Technology Center<\/p>\n

This invention is a new tool for biosensing that uses nanoengineering, optics and electrical engineering to increase data collection and improve decision-making during in vitro drug development, single cell analysis, organs on a chip studies and toxicity testing. The nano-optics, or plasmonics, in the sensors enhance detection limits by several orders of magnitude. The tool enables electrical and optical analysis of both single cells and cell networks.<\/p>\n

Pharmaceutical testing of vital drug compounds is very expensive and time consuming. Tools such as this invention, along with human cells, help with weeding out ineffective drug compounds and advancing promising ones, thereby saving time and money.<\/p>\n

Visual-Tactile Virtual Telepresence<\/h2>\n

Lead researcher: Greg Welch, AdventHealth Endowed Chair in Healthcare Simulation in UCF\u2019s\u00a0College of Nursing<\/a><\/p>\n

This invention is a tactile-visual system for social interactions between isolated patients (for example, those with COVID-19) and remote visitors such as loved ones, family members, friends or volunteers. Besides enabling people to visually interact with each other, the system gives isolated patients the perception of being touched and the visitors the perception of touching. For example, a loved one might be able to virtually stroke the patient\u2019s arm or head, or even squeeze the patient\u2019s hand. A simple realization might include tactile transducer \u201cstrips\u201d placed on the patient with two-way video via touch-sensitive tablets, where touching the visual image of the strips on the tablet results in tactile sensations on the patient\u2019s skin.<\/p>\n

Monolithic Neural Interface System<\/h2>\n

Lead researcher: Brian Kim, associate professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering<\/p>\n

This invention is an innovative brain-machine interface (BMI) system that can enable throughput of 1,000 or more parallel recordings to repair human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. Current BMIs consist of bulky devices with massive external wire connections and packaging complexity. By internalizing the external wires within integrated circuits and miniaturizing the interconnections onto a single silicon chip, UCF’s new monolithically integrated neural interface (MINI) device provides unprecedented scalability for high-density recordings. Thus, embedding more than 1,000 channels, 1,000 amplifiers and 1,000 electrodes on a silicon die is possible. Wireless and battery-less, the new system offers the large-scale recording capability needed to advance brain research, brain mapping, and clinical translations of BMI recordings.<\/p>\n

Cerium Oxide Nanoparticle Compositions and Methods<\/h2>\n

Lead researcher: Sudipta Seal, Pegasus Professor and chair of the\u00a0Department of Materials Science and Engineering<\/p>\n

This invention is a wet chemical synthesis process for fabricating cerium nanoparticles (CNPs) used in biomedical applications. With a synthesis process primarily based in water, particle size and chemistry can be controlled while also keeping costs low. The process also allows the CNPs to be easily integrated into many different applications, such as surface coatings and sunscreens. For instance when integrated into a sunscreen, CNPs can absorb dangerous, cell-killing free radicals produced during solar radiation exposure, which could be important not only for beachgoers but also for astronauts in space.<\/p>\n

Spermine Pro-Drugs<\/h2>\n

Lead researcher: Otto Phanstiel, professor, College of Medicine<\/a><\/p>\n

This invention is a spermine pro-drug designed to treat symptoms of a low spermine disorder. The invention provides a new potential therapy for Snyder Robinson Syndrome (SRS). Patients with SRS have little or no spermine synthase (SMS) enzyme activity and cannot effectively make spermine from spermidine. Spermine is one of the naturally occurring polyamines and plays important roles in maintaining cell health.<\/p>\n

Color-Changing Fabric and Applications<\/h2>\n

Lead researcher: Ayman Abouraddy, Florida Photonics Center of Excellence Professor, College of Optics and Photonics<\/a><\/p>\n

This invention is a color-changing fabric that enables a user to change colors and patterns on demand. For example, a person wearing a shirt and slacks made with the UCF technology ChroMorphous\u00ae can use her smartphone to change the colors and patterns without switching to another outfit. The same applies to a purse or backpack to match the outfit. Unlike existing color-changing technologies, the UCF invention does not depend on a wearer\u2019s body heat, a room\u2019s ambient temperature, or sunlight to work. ChroMorphous\u00ae is like traditional fabric \u2014 cut it, sew it, wash and iron it. Various applications include fashion and accessories, upholstery, medical, defense and artistic uses.<\/p>\n

For instance, in a particular field like medicine, you could imagine a children’s hospital room that allows the child to change the color and patterns on the curtains and furniture to fit their personality. Being treated in a hospital can be hard for anyone, especially a child. By allowing them to feel a bit more comfortable and in control of their environment, it can make their hospital stay less stressful, which makes it easier for the doctors and nurses to treat the child.<\/p>\n

Plasmon-Assisted Photothermoelectric Effect-based Detection of Infrared Radiation on Asymmetrically Patterned Graphene<\/h2>\n

Lead researcher: Debashis Chanda, professor in UCF\u2019s NanoScience Technology Center<\/p>\n

This invention is a low-cost method that can enable ultrafast, tunable mid-infrared detection and imaging without the need for expensive and complex cryogenic cooling. The novel graphene-based method paves the way for multi-spectral imaging in the mid-IR domain, which is not available in current technologies. Companies can use the invention for IR detection and imaging in the 3-5 \u00b5m range band and the 8-12 \u00b5m band for areas such as space exploration, spectroscopy, chemical\/biological identification, short-range communication and remote sensing.<\/p>\n

This technology is licensed to a startup company.<\/p>\n

Filtration System and Method for Treating Water Containing Nitrogen and Phosphorous Compounds<\/h2>\n

Lead researcher: Ni-bin Chang, professor, Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering<\/p>\n

This invention is a filtration system that effectively removes nitrogen and phosphorus from water and transforms the compounds into reusable byproducts: ammonia and aluminum phosphate. The UCF aluminum-based green environmental media, AGEM(TM<\/sup>), compositions can co-treat stormwater runoff, wastewater effluent and agricultural discharge.<\/p>\n

This technology is licensed.<\/p>\n
