As we move into the final quarter of 2024, we at Garcia-Zamor are looking back at some of the patents that have been issued this year. There have been huge innovations in the field of technology, healthcare, safety, and so much more. And because these inventions have been patented, inventors can go on sharing them with the world and continue to advance in their innovations. Today, let’s look at three of the most exciting patents of 2024 so far.
Peptoid-based inhibitors of the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family
If you’re not in the medical field, the above patent name may sound like garbled nonsense. But for those fighting against cancer, this patent issued in June of this year to University of North Florida (UNF) researchers could be world-changing. UNF has previously studied the prevalence of peptoids in cancer diagnosis.
The current research related to this patent is all about how to activate the process in which peptoids could actually kill cancer cells. The patent itself is for peptoid-based inhibitors designed for this exact purpose. Although they are still early in the development, researchers say that their work has been promising in hopes of fighting aggressive cancers.
Mobile Conversion Apparatus For Docking Cellular Data Devices
Siyata Mobile has made their name by creating push-to-talk over cellular technologies, especially for drivers to be able to answer calls safely and conveniently. They recently received a patent for their V7 vehicle kit, which includes a 10-watt speaker, slide-in connection sleeve, and an antenna connection for areas where connection may be weak. These technologies allow busy drivers to keep their eyes on the road and their focus on driving, without ever missing a call.
System and Methods to Facilitate Safe Driving
Speaking of driving, SaverOne 2014, Ltd. was recently granted a patent that will hopefully reduce automobile accidents and encourage safe driving. The system can be installed into vehicles in order to cut down on incidents of distracted driving, one of the major causes of accidents each year. While driving, apps such as messaging are disabled while apps such as navigation remain running without intervention. This allows drivers to cut back on the amount of time spent fiddling with their phone.
