Martin J. Sheridan 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: 10794858
    Abstract: An electrochemical metal alloy identification device employing electrolytes to measure and identify different potentials of alloys is presented. This includes physical structure, disposables, electrical systems, control circuitry, and algorithms to identify alloys.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2020
    Assignee: PALO ALTO RESEARCH CENTER INCORPORATED
    Inventors: David Mathew Johnson, Jianer Bao, Martin J. Sheridan, Vedasri Vedharathinam, Christopher Paulson, Bhaskar Saha, Jessica Louis Baker Rivest
  • Patent number: 10589515
    Abstract: A variable lithographic cleaning apparatus, system and method works on the principle that dust and ink residue may be transferred from a lower surface energy reimageable conformable blanket surface to a higher surface energy surface low durometer cleaning member, such as the tacky roller, and then to an even higher surface energy cleaning member, such as the hard roller, which is hard and robust to scratching. The hard roller can then been scrubbed clean by an ink flushing device having a third cleaning member, such as a melamine sponge, wetted with a cleaning solution with the hard roller dried upon each rotation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 23, 2016
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2020
    Assignee: Palo Alto Research Center Incorporated
    Inventors: Timothy D. Stowe, Gregory B. Anderson, Martin J. Sheridan
  • Patent number: 9985308
    Abstract: Today, energy requiring equipment commonly relies on batteries for power. The excessive weight and size of batteries severely limits their performance. Described herein is a lightweight portable energy system which includes an ultra-high capacity hydrolysable hydride gel cartridge for use in supplying hydrogen gas to hydrogen based energy generators. Hydrolysable hydride reactivity is controlled by tuning the amounts of hydrophilic and hydrophobic content in a polymer gel encapsulant of the cartridge.
