Top licensing prospects from the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Single-Photon Imaging with Improved Energy Efficiency
UW-Madison researchers and collaborators have created a computational imaging framework called photon inhibition to make single-photon cameras (SPCs) energy efficient.

Predicate Transfer Pre-Filtering on Multi-Join Queries
Predicate transfer, which is inspired by the method that uses semi-joins to pre-filter acyclic queries, optimizes join performance by pre-filtering tables to reduce the join input sizes.

Trapping Arrays of Isolated Particles of Multiple Species
To improve neutral atom-based quantum processing, a UW team created new optical intensity masks for trapping two-dimensional arrays of neutral atoms of two species.

High-Frequency Group III-Nitride-Based HEMTs with High-Aluminum Concentration Barriers and Recessed Gates
These improved Group III-nitride-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) combine a high-aluminum-content barrier layer with a recessed gate that provides the HEMTs with a very low channel sheet resistance and enables high-power, high-frequency operation.

Powder Deposition Methods
UW engineers have developed a high throughput powder spreadability testing system that can test powder spreadability at multiple layer thicknesses, multiple substrate materials, multiple blade shapes and multiple blade materials in one test.
