In-Incubator, Servo-Controlled Microvalve System for Automated Culture Management

Advances in biological research have been greatly influenced by the development of organoids, a specialized form of 3D cell culture. Created from pluripotent stem cells, organoids are effective in vitro models in replicating the structure and progression of organ development, providing an exceptional tool for studying the complexities of biology. Among these, cerebral cortex organoids (hereafter "organoid") have become particularly instrumental in providing valuable insights into brain formation, function, and pathology. Despite their potential, organoid experiments present several challenges. Organoids require a rigorous, months-long developmental process, demanding substantial resources and meticulous care to yield valuable data on aspects of biology such as neural unit electrophysiology, cytoarchitecture, and transcriptional regulation. Traditionally the data has been difficult to collect on a more frequent and consistent basis, which limits the breadth and depth of modern organoid biology. Generating and measuring organoids depend on media manipulations, imaging, and electrophysiological measurements. Historically are labor- and skill-intensive processes which can increase risks associated with experimental validity, reliability, efficiency, and scalability.

A Combined Time-Walk and Timing-Shift Correction Method for Dual-Ended Readout TOF-DOI PET Detector

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a technology that significantly improves the timing and spatial resolution of PET scans using dual-ended readout detectors.

Wideband Sensing and Communication Transceivers

This technology represents a significant leap in miniaturization by combining millimeter-wave sensing and communications in a single chiplet.

Novel NMR Tube for In-Situ Photochemical Reactions Under Inert and Controlled Atmospheres

Dr. René Riedel and Stephen Lepore from the University of California, Riverside have developed an NMR tube/reactor that enables in-situ irradiation to photo-initiate reactions in an inert or controlled atmosphere. It allows for the data acquisition of air, moisture, and temperature-sensitive liquid samples by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy without needing to remove the sample from the spectrometer for irradiation. This technology is advantageous because it makes photochemical reactions and kinetic measurements of sensitive samples more reproducible, and it enables the previously impossible maintenance of a controlled environment during photochemical NMR investigations.
