A New Process for the Production of Olefins from Methanol and Demethyl Ethers
ud19-40 – A NEW PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF OLEFINS FROM METHANOL AND DEMETHYL ETHERS UD19-40 APPLICATION: A new combination of catalyst and feed composition has been developed for conversion of methanol or dimethyl ethers to olefins in the C4‑C7 range with no aromatics or hydrocarbon by-products. PROBLEM ADDRESSED: Currently, when attempting to form hydrocarbon products from methanol,... Read More
Disinfection of Produce and Food-Contacting Surfaces and Wash Water using Micro/Nanobubbles (MNBs)
ud19-30 – APPLICATION: This concept will create an efficient and cost effective solution to sanitize food products, food-contacting surfaces and wash water. PROBLEM ADDRESSED: Micro/nanobubble technologies are largely applicable in industrial, environmental, fishery, medical, agricultural, and home amenity fields. This application uses MNB technologies in food processing for sanitizing produce,... Read More
Method Of Silicon Surface Passivation By Chalcogen Elements For Photovoltaic Application
ud19-36 – APPLICATION: Removal of surface and interface defects for high efficiency silicon solar cells. PROBLEM ADDRESSED: Solar cells are a growing with the community’s need to go green. While this technology seems like a great alternative option to traditional power sources, they only operate at around 20 percent efficiency. For every kW of sunlight absorbed, only 200W of electrical power is... Read More
Production of valuable bio-based products from accessible food waste
ud19-39 – Application: An innovative process to produce high value natural antioxidants and other beneficial bio-based products from potato peels has been developed. The process can be used as a standalone or integrated into a biorefinery. This new integrated biorefinery uses inexpensive and accessible food waste to address challenges surrounding food waste management, economic competitiveness,... Read More
HIGHLY SELECTIVE CO2 HYDROGENATION CATALYST
ud19-17 – Application: A new formulation and composition for a highly selective catalyst for the hydrogenation reaction of converting CO(Carbon dioxide) to methanol. This new class of catalyst increases methanol selectivity from its previous 50%, to more than 99% selectivity. It is with this increased selectivity that production of methanol better meets the recent demands for achieving clean... Read More
Polymer Nanoparticles for Co-delivery of Notch-1 Antibodies and ABT-737 to Cancer
ud19-42 – Application: A new technology comprising polymeric nanoparticles that can be loaded with the drug ABT-737 and coated with Notch-1 antibodies that enable specific recognition of cancer cells has been developed. This new nanoparticle formulation not only improves the solubility and bioavailability of ABT-737, but also overcomes previous delivery challenges by enabling targeted delivery... Read More
New method for preventing harmful dinoflagellate bloom formation
ud19-38 – Application: A new method for isolating and immobilizing the algicidal bacteria, Shewanella sp. IRI-160, has been developed. By immobilizing Shewanella sp. IRI-160 in a porous matrix, this method produces compounds that kill the class of phytoplankton known as dinoflagellates, toxin-producing organisms that pose a threat to marine organisms, shellfish aquaculture, and human health....

Novel Rare-Earth-free magnets that can store larger amounts of magnetic energy
19-25 – Application: A new method yielding magnets that store larger amounts of magnetic energy than previously reported has been developed. This innovative method is unique in its use of a specific alloying element (magnesium) that has previously been overlooked. With the combination of both this newly formulated method and the introduction of magnesium, a critically necessary coercive force... Read More
MODIFICATION OF METHYLOTROPHS TO ENHANCE METABOLITE PRODUCTION
ud19-35 – Application: Genetic modifications to methylotrophic strains to create methanol dependent growth and improve metabolite production from methanol. Problem Addressed: Producing chemicals from engineered microorganisms, such as E. coli, depends on sugars as a feedstock. Compared to sugars, methanol is a more reduced substance, which means it can supply more electrons for product formation... Read More
