Patent number: 9063007Abstract: The invention relates to a light source for irradiating molecules present in a detection volume with one or more selected wavelengths of light and directing the fluorescence, absorbance, transmittance, scattering onto one or more detectors. Molecular interactions with the light allow for the identification and quantitation of participating chemical moieties in reactions utilizing physical or chemical tags, most typically fluorescent and chromophore labels. The invention can also use the light source to separately and simultaneously irradiate a plurality of capillaries or other flow confining structures with one or more selected wavelengths of light and separately and simultaneously detect fluorescence produced within the capillaries or other flow confining structures. In various embodiments, the flow confining structures can allow separation or transportation of molecules and include capillary, micro bore and milli bore flow systems.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2010Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: LUMENCOR, INC.Inventors: Claudia B. Jaffe, Steven M. Jaffe, Michieal L. Jones

Patent number: 7009211Abstract: A resonant microcavity display comprises a thin-film resonant microcavity (20, 50, 60) with an active layer (21). The microcavity (20, 50, 60) comprises a front reflector (22, 52), the active region (21) deposited upon the front reflector, and a back reflector (20, 54) deposited upon the active region (21). The display preferentially emits light that propagates along the axis (27) perpendicular to the plane of the display, due to its quantum mechanical properties. The extrinsic efficiency of this device is increased by the use of thin film construction with anomalous phase dispersion.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2003Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Quantum Vision, Inc.Inventors: Hergen Eilers, Steven M. Jaffe, Brian L. Olmsted, Michieal L. Jones

Publication number: 20040017587Abstract: Patterns such as micro-patterns can be created on a surface using a resonant microcavity phosphor display, such as may be used with a cathode ray tube (RMP-CRT). An image can be processed by an image processor as a series of signals and provided to the resonant microcavity phosphor display or RMP-CRT, such as through a control box or control panel. The RMP-CRT scans an electron beam over a photo-sensitive material according to the series of signals. This electron beam can expose any photosensitive material on the surface so as to create a pattern or representation of the image in the photo-sensitive material. This process can be used in applications such as offset printing, as well as printing circuit board components, photoresist-covered substrates, photosensitive biological molecules, photosensitive chemical compounds, bioanalysis chips, and ink-sensitive plates.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2003Publication date: January 29, 2004Inventors: Steven M.
