Patents by Inventor Philip Freund

Philip Freund 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).

  • Automated microscope slide tissue sample mapping and image acquisition
    Publication number: 20050123181
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving an image of a tissue-sample set. A position in the image of each tissue sample relative to at least one other tissue sample is electronically identified. Each tissue sample is electronically identified based on the tissue sample position identification.

  • Modular approach to the next generation, short wavelength, laser-like light sources
    Patent number: 6831933
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing a next generation laser-like light source with Free Electron Lasers (FELs) are provided whereby the construction of a Free Electron Laser (FEL) is customized through the use of individual modules having specified characteristics. Such individual modules include conventional lasers, electron guns, linear accelerators, magnetic bunch compressors and permanent magnet, hybrid, and electromagnetic, undulators or a combination of these undulators. These individual modules are arranged to exploit the occurring fundamental and nonlinear harmonics generated in each SP HG FEL to be used themselves as a light source, or alternatively to be a coherent seed for another module, such as, in high-gain harmonic generation (HGHG). An efficient method for producing shorter wavelengths of a synchrotron light source is provided. A three step process including imprinting, upconverting or wavelength shifting and reinforcing or strengthening of the electron beam microbunching is provided.
