Patents by Inventor Tal Nagourney

Tal Nagourney 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).

  • Gyroscope and fabrication process
    Patent number: 11548805
    Abstract: Gyroscopes are sensors that measure angular rate and angular orientation. A three-dimensional fused silica micro shell rate-integrating gyroscope is presented. One aspect of the gyroscope includes the use of optical sensors to detect motion of the resonator. The proposed gyroscope is attractive because it achieves several magnitudes higher accuracy as well as high vibration and shock insensitivity from a novel resonator design as well as other unique manufacturing processes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2023
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of Michigan
    Inventors: Khalil Najafi, Jae Yoong Cho, Ali Darvishian, Guohong He, Behrouz Shiari, Tal Nagourney

  • Three dimensional microstructures and fabrication process
    Patent number: 10730748
    Abstract: A method for fabricating three-dimensional microstructures is presented. The method includes: disposing a substantially planar reflow material between two molds; heating the reflow material while the reflow material is disposed between the two molds; and reflowing the reflow material towards the bottom surface of one of the molds by creating a pressure gradient across the reflow material. At least one of molds includes geometrics features that help to shape the reflow material and thereby form a complex three-dimensional microstructure.
