A team of Stanford engineers have developed a low-cost, solution-processed method to fabricate a flexible nanowire mesh that can be used in transparent electrodes, as a replacement for metal oxides (such as ITO, indium tin oxide).
Researchers in Prof. Robert Byer's laboratory have developed a new fiber laser technology for generating frequency combs with broadband output (an octave or more).
Researchers in the Ginzton lab at Stanford University have patented an all-dielectric laser-driven microstructure for producing controllable charged particle beam.
Proxy Identity Based Encryption (proxy IBE) is a new encryption scheme that allows a user to send data encrypted with any given public key to a receiving user who decrypts the data with their own private key which is of no relation to the key used for encryption.
Stanford researchers in John Cioffi's lab have developed a method for allocating resources (bit rate and transmit power) in multi-user, multi-carrier communication systems. The invention provides the optimal power allocation algorithm for the equal-length DSL loops.
Stanford researchers have created software to view panoramic videos from arbitrary viewpoints from separate non-overlapping geo-referenced panoramic video streams. Ths system can also synthesize missing panoramic images to provide the user with a full sequence.
This user interface enables a user to define tags within virtual tour applications that label objects in panoramic images and video – a process that has been very difficult to achieve prior to this invention.
This software system acquires panoramic video footage and makes the data viewable on a Web browser. The system enables a human editor to select specific subsequences of the data, and organize it, and have others view it.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel method of fabricating one-dimensional and two-dimensional capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) arrays.
The market for wireless sensor networks is quickly expanding. It is estimated that within a few years there could be 100 million wireless sensors in use in a billion-dollar worldwide market.
