Patent number: 11094494Abstract: A window member for separating an internal environment of an x-ray device from an environment external to the x-ray device is provided. The window member comprises a substrate and a coating layer disposed upon a surface of the substrate. The substrate is formed from a polycrystalline material and is substantially transparent to low-energy x-rays. The coating layer is non-porous, covers the crystal grains at the surface of the substrate and extends into the grain boundaries therebetween, such that the coating layer forms an impermeable barrier between the substrate and the external environment.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: OXFORD INSTRUMENTS X-RAY TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: Yahya Alivov, Christopher K. McKenzie, Bryant Grigsby, Andrey Degtyaryov

Patent number: 10602596Abstract: Various embodiments relate to systems and methods for controlling one or more LED-based lighting sources that are coupled to a logic module by a ribbon cable. The ribbon cable allows some or all of the processing components (e.g., processors and drivers) to be decoupled from the LED-based lighting source(s). The processing components can instead be housed within the logic module, which is able to simultaneously control the LED-based lighting source(s). Together with color models established for each LED board, the logic module acts as a platform for modularity and is able to more precisely control the color channels of each LED-based lighting source using the color models established for those LED-based lighting source(s). Techniques are also described herein that allow the logic module to utilize data stored within an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) that describes the color characteristics of an LED-based lighting source.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Lumenetix, LLCInventors: David Bowers, Thomas Poliquin, Dustin Cochran, Matthew D. Weaver, Jay Hurley, James Kingman, Bryant Grigsby, Sanjoy Ghose

Patent number: 9981410Abstract: A cylindrical mask may be fabricated using a hollow casting cylinder and a mask cylinder. The casting cylinder has an inner diameter that is larger than the outer diameter of the mask cylinder. The casting and mask cylinders are coaxially assembled and a liquid polymer inserted in a space surrounding the mask cylinder between the inner surface of the casting cylinder and the outer surface of the mask cylinder. After curing the liquid polymer, the casting cylinder is removed. A surface of the cured polymer can be patterned. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: METAMATERIAL TECHNOLOGIES USA, INC.Inventors: Boris Kobrin, Oliver Seitz, Bruce Richardson, Ian McMackin, Mukti Aryal, Bryant Grigsby
