Patent number: 11298503Abstract: A filament platform insert for insertion into a bowl includes a plurality protruding stages and a plurality of recesses that are each formed in arcuate shapes to form a plurality of arcuate filament channels. An access channel extending along the platform insert, between a top and bottom, and between a rear and front, provides access for insertion of a finger or tool for manipulating an endovascular filament stored in the filament channel. The platform insert is dimensioned such that alignment of multiple such platforms will form filament raceways within a bowl for the coiled reception and storage of multiple endovascular filaments, with each filament reliably isolated from one another. In an alternative configuration, an endovascular filament bowl may be made to have the filament platform as a monolithic component thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: AUGUSTA UNIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC.Inventors: Mahmoud Baniasadi, Cargill H Alleyne, Jr.

Patent number: 11298957Abstract: A laser panel, a laser array device, and a laser display. The laser panel and the laser array device separately comprise multiple groups of independent laser light source modules; each group of laser light source modules comprises plural light sources; the plural light sources are all produced by inkjet printing; the laser display and a voltage-driven laser display separately comprise the laser panel. Producing a laser panel by inkjet printing provides a novel technical solution for cheap and industrial manufacturing of laser panels. It is difficult to generate laser coherent superposition between the light emitted by the laser light source module, and therefore, speckles caused by laser coherence in conventional laser display technologies are greatly eliminated. The present invention achieves a voltage-driven laser display, and facilitates achieving a better display effect while reducing the volume of the display.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: INSTITUTE OF CHEMISTRY, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCESInventors: Yongsheng Zhao, Jiannian Yao, Jinyang Zhao, Yongli Yan
