HOWARD UNIVERSITY’S


COMMERCIALIZATION CENTER I


CAMPUS INNOVATION


f you’re looking for bells and whistles in new research, then expect to be blown away by practical inventions at Howard University. On Howard University’s Intellectual Property


Commercialization Center (IPCC) website, one technology gives electric power providers the ability to anticipate power failures and act in a timely manner to prevent power outages. Another invention allows nanoparticles to be modified for active delivery of cancer drugs to solid tumors or specific cell types. A new algorithm helps to accurately quantify myocardial


blood flow (MBF). MBF is critical to diagnosing the extent and severity of coronary artery disease. According to the IPCC, this algorithm, which is designed for use with a PET scanner, can measure absolute myocardial blood flow quantitatively. Another invention allows an LED Lighting Array Control


System to control an entire system. As a result, it eliminates the need for the wiring and controller banks traditionally used


in large LED-lighting arrays. The potential applications include commercial signage, architectural lighting, and large holiday light displays. Think of Howard University whenever you see neon signs. Advertising and service industries are also seeking ways


to connect with mobile app users as they navigate through a college campus or shopping mall. Thanks to a Howard University invention, the mobile-device user can now receive specific messages based on the user’s location without explicit user intervention. A pending patent for a Howard University cyber-resilience


approach will make networked computer control systems immune to cyber incidents. The inventive approach includes using a different programming language to ensure cyber fail- safe operation even under a cyber-attack and infiltration. Intermittent faults are difficult to detect, but if left


untreated, they can lead to permanent faults resulting in dangerous and costly consequences. A detection system designed by Howard University is billed to diagnose the health of the system by measuring the error rate of the signal at another location. If an error is found, an alarm is activated to alert the user of an intermittent fault. This invention can be adapted to a variety of existing electrical systems.


Potential applications include aerospace, automotive, nautical, and construction wiring systems. S
