Publication number: 20230322560Abstract: The present invention provides an efficient and effective method to produce a graphene material by a high shear mechanical process to exfoliate a natural graphite dispersion in a solvent, followed by supercritical exfoliation and drying. The method exfoliates all graphitic flakes into mostly few-layer graphene flakes. This method is more efficient than traditional mechanical exfoliation techniques and completely avoids the need of multiple sampling/centrifugation cycles. The graphene flakes are generally uniform in both size (area) and thickness and show no clumping or aggregation. After drying, this graphene material has high dispersibility in a suitable solvent; the prepared graphene dispersion is stable for at least three months and shows no indication of settling or separation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Irina Kalinina, Douglas Meyers, Satyabrata Raychaudhuri

Publication number: 20230018486Abstract: An optical proximity sensor system to detect a distance to a target object is provided. The optical proximity sensor system includes a laser that generates an emitted optical beam at a linear polarization and an optical cavity system that includes an optical cavity defined by a distance between the laser and the target object. The target object reflects the emitted optical beam to generate a reflected optical beam. A partially reflective mirror diverts a portion of the emitted optical beam and/or the reflected optical beam. A photodetector receives the diverted optical beam and generates a proximity signal that has a frequency that is indicative of the distance to the target object based on the diverted portion of the at least one of the emitted optical beam and the reflected optical beam. A proximity processor calculates the distance to the target object based on the frequency of the proximity signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2021Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: A. DOUGLAS MEYER, THOMAS ALAN BOLTON

Patent number: 11026591Abstract: The invention is a method for calibrating an intravascular pressure sensor at the point of use. By using data from a secondary pressure measurement device, e.g., an automated aortic pressure monitor, the pressure sensor can be easily calibrated over a range of temperatures and pressures relevant to the patient. Accordingly, an intravascular pressure sensor can be calibrated without undergoing a factory calibration. Additionally, in the event that the calibration is lost, the sensor can be recalibrated.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: PHILIPS IMAGE GUIDED THERAPY CORPORATIONInventors: David H. Burkett, Douglas Meyer
