Abstract: Embodiments of the invention pertain to a method and apparatus for sensing infrared (IR) radiation. In a specific embodiment, a night vision device can be fabricated by depositing a few layers of organic thin films. Embodiments of the subject device can operate at voltages in the range of 10-15 Volts and have lower manufacturing costs compared to conventional night vision devices. Embodiments of the device can incorporate an organic phototransistor in series with an organic light emitting device. In a specific embodiment, all electrodes are transparent to infrared light. An IR sensing layer can be incorporated with an OLED to provide IR-to-visible color up-conversion. Improved dark current characteristics can be achieved by incorporating a poor hole transport layer material as part of the IR sensing layer.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for performing detection of microorganisms (e.g., viruses) with high sensitivity. The apparatus and method are well suited for point-of-care (POC) testing in resource-limited regions and are capable of being operated with very little manual intervention and without the need for lab equipment. A variety of viruses can be detected with high sensitivity, including, for example, coronaviruses, Zika virus and flu viruses.

Abstract: Various examples are related to first person virtual reality (VR) characters suitable for testing of inclusive design solutions. In one example, a virtual reality (VR) system including a VR headset that can display a simulated VR environment to a user; controllers that can receive inputs from the user; and a computing device that can execute a VR application to simulate a VR character in the simulated VR environment, where the VR character simulates a physical impairment produced by a disability. Interactive first person VR characters with haptic capabilities operating in a simulated environment can provide feedback to the user that would not be available otherwise without physically constructing the environment.

Abstract: Boronic acid monomers, methods of making boronic acid monomer, and the like, are provided. Embodiments of the present disclosure are advantageous in that the boronic acid monomers are water soluble at a neutral pH, which is uncommon for boronic acids. As a result, the boronic acid monomers can be used in aqueous polymerization reactions with other hydrophilic monomers to yield polymers including boronic acids and esters.

Abstract: Systems and methods for thermal transport in space for cryogenic propellant storage tank chilldown are described. In order to maximize the storage tank chilldown thermal efficiency for the least amount of required cryogen consumption, the embodiments relate to quenching heat transfer concepts that can include the combination of cryogenic spray quenching cooling, thermal insulator thin-film coating on the tank inner surface, and spray flow pulsing. The boiling heat transfer physics that supports the concepts are described. The completed flight experiments successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the concepts and discovered that spray cooling can be an efficient cooling method for the tank chilldown in microgravity. In microgravity, the data shows that the chilldown thermal efficiency can reach 30% with a thermal insulator coating alone. Further thermal efficiencies can be made up to 50% with flow pulsing.
