Modulated X-Ray Source (MXS) |
US 9,117,622 |
Commercially available x-ray sources take several seconds to turn on and off whereas the modulated x-ray source can oscillate on and off from peak intensity at picosecond scale intervals. This capability allows for the use of x-ray radiation in the time domain. In addition the source is significantly smaller and less expensive than commercially available sources. Potential applications range from medical imaging to real time material failure analysis. |

Microfabrication process for building x-ray absorbers |
US 10,074,64 |
A new microfabrication process designed to yield overhanging thin film x-ray absorbers optimized for soft x-ray spectroscopy. This innovative microfabrication involves a large electron-beam evaporated gold absorber that is supported by small gold stems that are electroplated in a photoresist mold. The process is completed at low temperatures to prevent plastic deformation of the stem photoresist mold. These x-rayabsorbers have several potential applications in biotech, biotherapeutics, vaccine, and pharmaceutical research. |

Shaped External Occulter Software Suite |
US 9,396,294 |
A software suite, written entirely in C, for optically modeling diffraction from an arbitrarily shaped external occulter for exoplanet coronagraphy and for propagating the fields through an arbitrary telescope. The software allows an external occulter to be used in imaging systems (such as telescopes) that relaxes the tolerances needed on the imaging system and increases the light contrast by ten orders of magnitude. It works both broadband and narrowband and runs on a single processor computer in ~2 minutes per wavelength. This software has many applications in medical imaging. |

Radiation Hardened Gain Digitizer |
US 10,158,335 |
A digitizer that can process a wide range of low level signals in the presence of ionizing radiation. A unique feature of this innovation is the combination of autozero/chopping with a discrete time integrator in the main path. This integrator allows for variable gain and, when combined with the linear amplifiers, can also generate very high and accurate gain. Further, the discrete time integrator can be placed in hold mode after the desired number of integrations has occurred. This digitizer can be used in medical equipment. |

Lotus Coating |
Patent Pending |
A unique formulation of a Lotus leaf-like nano-textured dust mitigation coating, with hydrophobic properties. Originally developed to address a large scale problem of dust accumulation and contamination in dusty space environments such as the moon, Mars, comets, asteroids, and other planetary bodies, the coating can be used for other space applications and aeronautical applications, as well as earth-based ground applications. The Lotus Coating is a lightweight passive coating that also has super-hydrophobic properties and can prevent a variety of particles, liquids, or ice from sticking to the coated surface. |

Lab-On-Chip Flow and Temperature Sensor |
US 10,189,700 |
The sensors in this system will be encased in Silicon Nitride (SiN) to electrically isolate them from the fluid flow and will be suspended in the middle of the channel to maximize their sensitivity and response time. The temperature sensors are utilized as part of the flow sensor design. By knowing the thermal conductance and the heat capacity of the fluid, in addition to the power into the resistor and the change in temperature, the flow rate of the fluid can be calculated. |
