One can easily browse the patents and newly submitted inventions that are registered to the WARF: http://www.warf.org/technologies/new-patents.cmsx - the sidebar organizes them by category.

The intention is more of "hey entrepreneurs, we've got this technology developed in academia - if you see a business model based on this, talk to us so you can use it."

Of note, if you follow the 'technologies - information technology - software' path, you'll note that none of these are actually patents. They're listed as "technologies" instead.

There do appear to be some patents listed... things like low profile, ultra wide band antenna and wideband transceiver for antenna array.

All that said, one of the distinctions between the patent troll and the warf is that of "the warf is seeking business partnerships for people to use technologies, inventions, and patents developed at the university of madison" and the troll is "buying patents from one party and suing another party for royalties." The business model for the two is completely different.
