  • Publication number: 20230066998
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a microwave system developed to measure properties of fluidic materials incident upon a surface using a phase response of multiple microstrip transmission lines, generally over an ultra-wideband excitation. The system can include a series of parallel planar transmission lines as waveguides that are coupled to an insulator layer and a conductor as a formed-to-fit or flexible insulator layer, an ultra-wideband RF transceiver measuring phase angle, and a processing computer. The system can directly measure electrical permittivity in the microwave frequency band. This measurement can be processed to determine the presence of a homogeneous or heterogeneous fluidic material on a surface to which the transmission lines are coupled, the presence of a phase change in the fluidic material, and potentially the presence of other fluidic materials, depending on differences in permittivity between the fluid materials. In some embodiments, a thickness of the material can be also be provided.

  • Patent number: 11525959
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices, systems, circuits, and effective methods for advanced optical applications using plasmonics and ENZ materials. The disclosure provides for enhancement of the optical tunability of phase and amplitude of propagating plasmons, nonlinear-optical effects, and resonant network in optical fiber tip nanocircuits and integrates the tunable plasmonic and ENZ effects for in-fiber applications to provide optical fiber with high operating speed and low power consumption. The invention yields efficient coupling of a plasmonic functional nanocircuit on the facet of an optical fiber core. The invention also can use gate-tunable ENZ materials to electrically and nonlinear optically tune the plasmonic nanocircuits for advanced light manipulation. The invention efficiently integrates and manipulates the voltage-tuned ENZ resonance for phase and amplitude modulation in optical fiber nanocircuits.

  • Publication number: 20220392030
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying super saturated color. Image data for display on a display or viewing device with a potential white luminance in a standard system with a maximum luminance is processed such that colors near the white point are reduced to a limited luminance. As the chroma of the displayed color is increased, a luminance attenuation is decreased. The scaling of the reduction is operable to be a linear function, a non-linear function, or any other function.

  • Patent number: 11448820
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an optical waveguide design of a fiber modified with a thin layer of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) material. The design results in an excitation of a highly confined waveguide mode in the fiber near the wavelength where permittivity of thin layer approaches zero. Due to the high field confinement within thin layer, the ENZ mode can be characterized by a peak in modal loss of the hybrid waveguide. Results show that such in-fiber excitation of ENZ mode is due to the coupling of the guided fundamental core mode to the thin-film ENZ mode. The phase matching wavelength, where the coupling takes place, varies depending on the refractive index of the constituents. These ENZ nanostructured optical fibers have many potential applications, for example, in ENZ nonlinear and magneto-optics, as in-fiber wavelength-dependent filters, and as subwavelength fluid channel for optical and bio-photonic sensing.

  • Patent number: 11441990
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a low-cost and accurate rheometer system and method capable of determining melt flow rheological properties of polymers, such as from Fused Filament Fabrication (“FFF”) polymeric materials. The device can include a filament feeding system, liquefier for filament melting, force transducer for measuring filament feeding force, and a temperature control system for controlling polymer melt temperatures. An electronic control system can capture data and manage operations. The system can measure a filament velocity and filament force required to extrude the FFF filament for printing. The filament velocity and force data can be used to compute data sets of melt volumetric flow relative to pressure drop across a FFF nozzle.
