CHTM researchers are featured on these patents:
2017 – January, February, March
Issued Patent for Structural Illumination and Evanescent Coupling for the Extension of Imaging Interferometric Microscopy
Patent No. 9,541,374, issued January 10, 2017
Inventors: Steven Brueck, Alexander Neumann, Yuliya Kuznetsova
This technology, structured illumination microscopy (SIM), uses a low-numerical aperture (NA) microscope objective to obtain high frequency partial images using simultaneous coherent off axis illumination beams. Multiple calculations adjust the resultant images. The technology also provides different methods of creating the image. The benefits of this flexibility include a new option, requiring only minimal access to the objective pupil. Therefore, the invention is much more adaptable to current technology.
Issued Patent for Sensors Using Optical RF Oscillators
Patent No. 9,541,528, issued January 10, 2017
Inventor: Mani Hossein-Zadeh
This technology is a scheme for using the sensitivity of the oscillation frequency of optomechanical (driven by radiation pressure), thermo-optical (driven by thermo-optical effect), and thermo-optomechanical oscillators (driven by thermo-optical and thermal expansion effects) to the chemical composition of surrounding medium for detection and quantification of molecules.
