Suzanne Ani Ciftan Hens 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).

  • Photoluminescent nanodiamond material
    Patent number: 10287495
    Abstract: Photoluminescent nanodiamond particles of dynamic synthesis have enhanced photoluminescent properties produced as a result of minimizing the nitrogen content of impurities or imperfections in the nanodiamond lattice and by location of photoluminescent structures on the outer surface of the nanodiamond particles. This inhibits suppression (i.e. inactivity) of emission and enhances the intensity of the emission. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2019
    Inventors: Olga Alexander Shenderova, Igor Vlasov, Suzanne Ani-Ciftan Hens, Vesna Borjanovic

  • Nanodiamond fractional and the products thereof
    Patent number: 7569205
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method of processing detonation nanodiamonds to fractionate the detonation nanodiamonds involves, in order forming a combination of detonation nanodiamonds and a solvent, said solvent containing at least approximately 10% DMSO (v/v), applying a dispersive technique to said combination, subjecting said combination to a procedure that causes nanodiamond particles of a first size range to be substantially spatially separated from nanodiamonds of a second size range, and collecting said nanodiamonds of said first size range essentially free of said second size range. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
