Patent number: 11933864Abstract: A system and method of effectively measuring a change in a gradient of a magnetic field. The systems include a first magnet and a second magnet mechanically coupled together and aligned along a polarization axis. The first magnet and the second magnet are positioned such that a pair of like magnetic poles of the first magnet and the second magnet face in opposite directions. Further, the first magnet and the second magnet are configured to move along the polarization axis in response to a magnetic field. A sensing system is configured to measure a change in a gradient of the magnetic field based on the movement of the first magnet and second magnet along the polarization axis in response to the magnetic field.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Trustees of Boston UniversityInventors: Joshua Javor, David Bishop, David Campbell, Matthias Imboden

Patent number: 11402356Abstract: A system and method for authentication of objects, which includes directing a laser beam onto a surface of an object to induce a thermoelastic excitation in bulk material of the object without altering the surface of the object, wherein the laser beam is pulsed. A surface ultrasonic wave at the surface of the object caused by the thermoelastic excitation is detected using a detector. A detection signal is generated using the detected surface ultrasonic wave. Digital data is generated using the detection signal. Authenticity of the object is determined by comparing the digital data and reference data stored in a database.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Provenance Laboratories LLCInventors: Joshua Bishop-Moser, Anton Abugov, Alexander Klachin, Anya Goldin

Patent number: 11255356Abstract: An actuator system is provided having a fluidic body member having a surface configured to be deformable in response to a pressure differential. One or more auxetic elements are disposed on and engage the surface of the fluidic body member in the form of a network of beam elements.
