Elena N. Bankowski has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11005187
    Abstract: One example is an antenna structure with a metamaterial having a flexible metamaterial layer, a two-dimensional antenna layer and a spacer layer. The flexible metamaterial layer has a metamaterial thickness allowing the metamaterial layer to be attached to a curved conducting surface of a vehicle. The metamaterial layer is formed with a two-dimensional array of elements having a passive magnetic property with the array of elements formed with elongated individual elements each having a top end and a bottom end. The elongated individual elements have curved outer surfaces between the top end and the bottom end. The two-dimensional antenna layer receives electromagnetic signals. The spacer layer is located between the metamaterial layer and the antenna layer separating the metamaterial layer and the antenna layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8860159
    Abstract: A spintronic electronic apparatus having a multilayer structure. The apparatus includes a substrate, having disposed in succession upon the substrate; a bottom interface layer; a pinned layer; a tunneling barrier; a free layer; and a top interface layer, wherein the apparatus operates as a non-resonant magnetic tunnel junction in a large amplitude, out-of-plane magnetization precession regime having weakly current dependent, large diode volt-watt sensitivity when external microwave signals that exceed a predetermined threshold current and have a frequency that is lower than a predetermined level excite the magnetization precession.
