Wire Rivet
Featured Opportunity • An easy-to-install wire rivet for making electrical connections to multiple substrates in less time with fewer parts There is a need to provide a simple and quick electrical connection to one or many conductive substrates that does not require abrasion of the substrate surface or a complicated assembly process requiring...
Wireless Passive Radiation Sensor
Featured Opportunity • Existing small radiation detectors do not produce an immediate real-time warning of radiation doses because the detectors need to be sent to a lab for readout, which can require days or weeks to complete. Other detectors are fragile, need human interpretation of colors, cost hundreds of dollars each or are...
Wireless passive radiation sensor
Patent • #US8596862B1. A novel measurement technique is employed using surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, passive RF, and radiation-sensitive films to provide a wireless passive radiation sensor that requires no batteries, outside wiring, or regular maintenance. The sensor is small (<1 cm2), physically robust, and will operate unattended for decades. In addition,...
Wireless passive temperature sensor
Patent • #US8240911B1. A wireless passive temperature sensor comprising a surface acoustic wave (SAW) delay line is constructed on a piezoelectric substrate having a thermal coefficient of frequency. An array of addressable, wireless passive temperature sensors can be used to monitor an array of temperature points on a structure using a wireless...
X-ray digital image correlation
Patent • #US12299915B2. A method of X-ray digital image correlation is provided. The method comprises aligning cameras of an X-ray imaging system, wherein the X-ray imaging system comprises two X-ray sources pointed at a target area at a stereo angle and two corresponding X-ray detectors behind the target area. The X-ray imaging...
Xyce
Software • Xyce - Originally developed in support of the electrical designers at Sandia National Laboratories, Xyce has become a large part of the design and analytical process of circuit simulations. As a parallel code, it not only allows the simulations of circuits of unprecedented size, but has addressed possible solutions to...
Zero-Power Radio Receiver
Featured Opportunity • Sandia has developed a miniature, zero-power radio receiver that can be easily integrated in a wide range of devices to provide continuous wireless connectivity. The underlying principle behind the Zero-Power Receiver is that the powered radio frequency electronics that are used in most wireless receivers can be replaced with electronics...
Zero-power receiver
Patent • #US9460321B1. An unpowered signal receiver and a method for signal reception detects and responds to very weak signals using pyroelectric devices as impedance transformers and/or demodulators. In some embodiments, surface acoustic wave devices (SAW) are also used. Illustrative embodiments include satellite and long distance terrestrial communications applications.
ZnO buffer layer for metal films on silicon substrates
Patent • #US8835023B1. Dramatic improvements in metallization integrity and electroceramic thin film performance can be achieved by the use of the ZnO buffer layer to minimize interfacial energy between metallization and adhesion layers. In particular, the invention provides a substrate metallization method utilizing a ZnO adhesion layer that has a high work...
