Patent Status:&nbsp; Issued as US 8,594,028
Invention Overview:&nbsp; Cognitive Channel Assignment Technology
Inventor Dr. Brian Mark has an issued patent for&nbsp;his innovative technology, Cognitive Channel Assignment in Wireless Networks.&nbsp; 
This technology allows base stations in a cellular network to assign frequency channels to users through the use of cognitive radio and signal strength detection. Benefits include a potentially simplified cellular network and increased capacity due to the more distributed channel assignment function and increase in frequency channel reuse.

Nanowire Field Effect Junction Diode

The silicon nanowire field effect junction diode is a new semiconductor device that expands the possibilities for solar cells and related applications.&nbsp; Current semiconductor junctions have fixed PN junctions that are only capable of producing direct current (DC) voltage from sunlight.&nbsp; This device produces alternating current (AC) voltage.&nbsp; Producing AC directly improves the conversion of sunlight by eliminating costly power losses associated with converting DC to AC.

This technology is a novel method 
for modeling and simulating disease states caused by pathogenic organisms or 
toxic materials. Provides an alternative method for undertaking studies that 
cannot be performed on humans and that may lack relevance if performed on animal 
species that are surrogates for humans.Description:The first 
product, an in silico (computer-based) anthrax model enables researchers to 
explore 'what if' scenarios and develop predictive data that can be used in 
experimental design and the testing of new hypothesis of the anthrax disease 
state.This new approach helps co...</description><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jul 2010 06:52:23 GMT</pubDate><author>dgrossma@gmu.edu</author><guid>http://mason.technologypublisher.com/technology/5455</guid></item><item><title>Cellular Network Handoffs</title><caseId>GMU.03.004</caseId><link>http://mason.technologypublisher.com/technology/5448</link><description>This Mason Technology utilizes a new discrete-time framework for evaluating the performance of handoff mechanisms in 3G networks.</description><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jul 2010 06:52:05 GMT</pubDate><author>dgrossma@gmu.edu</author><guid>http://mason.technologypublisher.com/technology/5448</guid></item><item><title>Label Switched Packet Transfer</title><caseId>GMU.01.028</caseId><link>http://mason.technologypublisher.com/technology/5446</link><description>The Advanced Internet Laboratory at George Mason University has developed a wireless network Label Switched Packet Transfer (LSPT), which provides a hierarchical architecture to use label switching to support wireless mobile terminals.
