Compensating for Polarization Changes Introduced by Components with Retardation in Polarization Sensitive Retinal Scanning Systems

Unmet NeedThe most sensitive part of the human retina, the fovea, changes the polarization state of light when scanned with a low-power polarized beam of light. This produces a particular pattern which can be used for eye tracking or monitoring central fixation. The latter is useful in diagnosing strabismus (cross-sightedness) and amblyopia (“lazy eye”),...

3D Woven Lattices as Multi-functional Heat Exchanger

Unmet NeedPorous materials are a widely used heat exchanger for common household items such as radiators and refrigerators. However, these materials are typically focused on optimizing at most one or two physical/chemical properties (heat transfer, fluidic permeability, electrical conductivity, etc.). As a result, these materials tend to underperform...
