Technology Offerings (invention with patent)

Efficient and Rapid Mixing of Highly Viscous Fluids

Conventionally, viscous fluids are mixed with mechanical methods like impellers and the mixing may be enhanced by piezoelectric disk or viscous fingering effect

Manufacturing

Configuration Method and Apparatus of Bidirectional Switched-Capacitor Converters

The existing commercial power supplies are mainly inductor-based converters. Those converters are usually heavy, bulky and low power density due to the inductor-based (magnetic) elements. They are also unsuitable for high-temperature environment.

Electronics

Robust Photochromic Compounds

Photochromism is defined as a reversible transformation of a single chemical species being induced in one or both directions by absorption of electromagnetic radiation, with two states having different distinguishable absorption spectra. Ideally, the chemical species must be thermally stable and possess excellent durability for reversible photochromic reactivity.

Advanced Materials

Novel Encapsulation Technology for Encapsulation of Active Ingredients

Hydrogel capsules have been used to encapsulate cells since they can allow facile diffusion of oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Such compositions have been developed as potential therapeutics for a range of diseases including type I diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s.

High Frequency AC to DC Conversion for Wireless Power Transfer

Wireless power transfer (WPT) based on the magnetic resonance and near-field coupling of two loop resonators was reported by Nicola Tesla a century ago. At present, there is a lack of research examining the problems arising from the receiver which also has big impact on the performance of the entire system.

Electronics

Multi-Directional Wireless Power for Electrical Applications

First demonstrated by Nicola Tesla in the 1890s, applications of Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) are gaining popularity and in particular for charging everyday consumer electronic devices

Electronics

Wavelength-Encoded Tomography - A New Type of Optical Coherence Tomography System

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-contact and non-invasive imaging technique to obtain fine resolution and cross-sectional images of tissue structure on the micron scale (µm), such as the retina, cornea, anterior chamber of eyes, cell imaging, tissue characterization, live blood flow imaging, etc.

Electronics

A Simple and Cost Effective Method for Making Hole Transport Layer (HTL) Materials for Organic Electronics

The Hole Transport Layer (HTL) provides electron mobility in organic lighting devices (OLED). PEDOT:PSS is conventionally an ideal HTL material for testing OLED performance because it is highly electro-conductive and transparent in the visible light spectrum. However, PEDOT:PSS has limited lifetime for production environment due to its acidic property and causes corrosion of the ITO anode.
