The paper calls for closing tech transfer offices and instead open sourcing all innovations. https://ttb.sk/clanky/do-universities-investing-in-technology-transfer-via-patenting-lose-money-joshua-m-pearce/

Self-Aligning EPM Connector: A Versatile Solution for Adaptive and Multi-Modal Interfaces
This paper presents a multifunctional connector based on electro-permanent magnet (EPM) technology, integrating self-alignment, mechanical coupling, fluid transfer, and data communication within a compact SLA-3D printed structure. Experimental results demonstrate reliable self-alignment, efficient fluid transfer in single-loop and dual-channel modes, and robust data transmission via integrated electronic control. The connector exhibits high flexibility in accommodating axial, angular, and later…

Förster transfer between quantum dots in a shared phonon environment: An exact approach, revealing the role of pure dephasing
Förster resonance energy transfer has an important role in nature and technology, rendering its exact theoretical understanding significant. To this end, a system of two electronically decoupled quantum dots (QDs) is considered, interacting via dipole-dipole interaction and a common phonon bath. While the former leads to an oscillatory excitation transfer between the dots, the latter provide the dissipation resulting in directional Förster transfer. We present an exact microscopic treatment o…

Investigating the sliding behavior of graphene nanoribbons
This work presents a Euler-Bernoulli beam finite element (FE) model to study the interlayer interaction mechanics of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) over a graphene substrate. The FE model is calibrated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations employing the potential of Kolmogorov and Crespi. This study focuses mainly on the effect of boundary conditions on sliding behavior and strain transfer between layers when the substrate is subjected to uniform biaxial deformations. The interlayer shearing or …

Enhancing Privacy Preservation and Reducing Analysis Time with Federated Transfer Learning in Digital Twins-based Computed Tomography Scan Analysis
The application of Digital Twin (DT) technology and Federated Learning (FL) has great potential to change the field of biomedical image analysis, particularly for Computed Tomography (CT) scans. This paper presents Federated Transfer Learning (FTL) as a new Digital Twin-based CT scan analysis paradigm. FTL uses pre-trained models and knowledge transfer between peer nodes to solve problems such as data privacy, limited computing resources, and data heterogeneity. The proposed framework allows re…

Archive collections being catalogued now and in the future will produce difficulties.
This plastic sleeve from the mid to late 1990s shows the result of office printer technology of the time along with plastic stationery. The top and bottom document were stuck to the plastic.
In this case, the documents were frozen before carefully peeling the paper and ink from the plastic. It wasn't the perfect solution but good enough.

The analogy theorem in Hoare logic
The introduction of machine learning methods has led to significant advances in automation, optimization, and discoveries in various fields of science and technology. However, their widespread application faces a fundamental limitation: the transfer of models between data domains generally lacks a rigorous mathematical justification. The key problem is the lack of formal criteria to guarantee that a model trained on one type of data will retain its properties on another.This paper proposes a so…

Fast optical data transfer into a Josephson junction array
We employ externally shunted Nb-AlO$_x$-Nb Josephson junctions for demonstrating a circuit that is suitable for an optically driven Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer (JAWS). This technology enables overdamped junctions with characteristic frequencies above 100 GHz and critical currents of the order of 100 $μ$A, which is promising, e.g., for low-dissipation optical control of quantum circuits such as superconducting quantum bits. Here we utilize a double-pulse technique to experimentally…

DeepV: A Model-Agnostic Retrieval-Augmented Framework for Verilog Code Generation with a High-Quality Knowledge Base
As large language models (LLMs) continue to be integrated into modern technology, there has been an increased push towards code generation applications, which also naturally extends to hardware design automation. LLM-based solutions for register transfer level (RTL) code generation for intellectual property (IP) designs have grown, especially with fine-tuned LLMs, prompt engineering, and agentic approaches becoming popular in literature. However, a gap has been exposed in these techniques, as t…

FAS Enabled UAV for Energy-Efficient WPCNs
This letter presents an innovative scheme to enhance the communication rate and energy efficiency (EE) of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) by deploying the emerging fluid antenna system (FAS) technology onto the UAV. Our proposed approach leverages the dynamic port switching capability of FAS, enabling the UAV to adaptively select the optimal antenna location that maximizes channel gain for both downlink wireless power transfer (WPT) and uplink wi…

Highly-Linear Proximity-Based Bi-SQUID Operating above 4 K
We demonstrate a highly linear superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) amplifier based on a double-loop (Bi-SQUID) architecture incorporating three superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (S-N-S) junctions. Fabricated using niobium-gold technology, the device exhibits robust operation at liquid helium temperatures, with a superconducting transition temperature of 8.5 K. The flux-to-voltage transfer function demonstrates sharp, symmetric, and highly linear behavior at temperatures…
