Patent number: 11675101Abstract: A method for determining depth of a material is disclosed. The method includes transmitting a signal from an antenna at a location. The signal includes a fundamental frequency and the signal penetrates ground under the location. The location is selected to locate a material at a depth under the location. The fundamental frequency matches a known resonant frequency of a resonant atom of a molecule of the material. The method includes detecting a reflected wave on the antenna, determining a time difference between transmission of the signal and detection of the reflected wave on the antenna, and determining the depth to the material based on the time difference and a reflected velocity corresponding to the resonant atom.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2022Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Terrasee Tech, LLCInventor: Philip Clegg

Patent number: 11676797Abstract: Systems and methods for material processing using wafer scale waves of precisely controlled electrons in a DC plasma is presented. The anode and cathode of a DC plasma chamber are respectively connected to an adjustable DC voltage source and a DC current source. The anode potential is adjusted to shift a surface floating potential of a stage in a positive column of the DC plasma to a reference ground potential of the DC voltage/current sources. A conductive plate in a same region of the positive column opposite the stage is used to measure the surface floating potential of the stage. A signal generator referenced to the ground potential is capacitively coupled to the stage to control a surface potential at the stage for provision of kinetic energy to free electrons in the DC plasma.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: VELVETCH LLCInventors: William Andrew Goddard, Stewart Francis Sando, Samir John Anz, David Irwin Margolese
