Patents by Inventor Peter Simon Aptaker

Peter Simon Aptaker 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: 9847740
    Abstract: A high-voltage electrostatic generator has an assembly of concentric electrically conductive half-shells separated by an equatorial gap, essentially with cylindrical symmetry about an axis. Adjacent to the equatorial gap, edge regions of at least a selected subset of the half-shells are shaped.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2017
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Peter Simon Aptaker, Paul Beasley, Oliver Heid
  • Patent number: 9589762
    Abstract: A deflection plate for deflecting charged particles, the plate comprising a recess is provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9305742
    Abstract: A method for packetizing a beam-charged particle, in which the particles pass through an electric field in a device is provided. The device includes an annular shaped central electrode which, in the direction of the beam, is arranged between a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode. A time-dependent electric voltage signal is applied to the central electrode, the temporal course thereof being selected such that particles inside the device undergo a position-dependent speed modification. The course of the speed modification is approximately sawtooth-shaped in the direction of the beam. An associated device is also provided.
