Jeffrey Rifkin 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).

  • Apparatus system, and method for high flux, compact compton x-ray source
    Patent number: 7596208
    Abstract: A Compton backscattering x-ray source includes an electron storage ring for storing electron bunches. A timing system refreshes an orbiting electron bunch according to a schedule selected to improve at least one attribute of x-ray emission. In one implementation, the electron bunch is periodically refreshed with a period of at least about 10 Hz.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 2007
    Date of Patent: September 29, 2009
    Assignee: Lyncean Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Jeffrey Rifkin, Roderick J. Loewen, Ronald D. Ruth
  • X-ray transmissive optical mirror apparatus
    Patent number: 7443956
    Abstract: A mirror is reflective to light and transmissive to x-rays. The mirror has a continuous mirror surface and an x-ray aperture within a body portion of the mirror proximate the continuous mirror surface that is transmissive to x-rays.
