Victorian Carvajal 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).

  • Use of Ti and Nb cemented in TiC in prosthetic joints
    Patent number: 8603181
    Abstract: An improved composition of titanium sintered titanium carbide is provided. The composition provides an improved degree of strength and toughness and improved compatibility with medical imaging. The composition provides good compatibility with sintered polycrystalline diamond, achieving a good mechanical fit in terms of the combined compressibility and thermal expansion during the sintering process to minimize stress or cracking between the substrate and the diamond layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 8, 2010
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2013
    Assignee: Dimicron, Inc
    Inventors: Bill J. Pope, Richard H. Dixon, Jeffery K. Taylor, Clayton F. Gardinier, Troy Medford, Dean C. Blackburn, Victorian Carvajal, David P. Harding
