Patent number: 10318143Abstract: A method for manufacturing a transparent tactile surface. The nanoparticles, particularly of ITO, are incorporated in an aqueous solution containing a stabilizing agent. The water suspension including the nanoparticles are subjected to ultrasound. The nanoparticles in aqueous suspension with a ligand are incubated that can attach to the surface of the nanoparticles through a covalent bond. The nanoparticles with the surface modified by the ligand in the form of a colloidal suspension are deposited on a transparent substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2013Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: NANOMADE CONCEPTInventors: Fabrice Severac, Celine Christophe, Marie-Laure Pourciel-Gouzy

Patent number: 9436215Abstract: A device to detect and quantify a force applied on a surface includes a test specimen, an electrically insulating substrate, a first electrode bound to the substrate, a second electrode, an assembly of conductive or semi-conductive nanoparticles in contact with the two electrodes, and a measurement device. The measurement device provides proportional information with respect to an electrical property of the nanoparticles assembly. The electrical property is measured between the first and second electrode. The test specimen is the nanoparticles assembly itself and the electrical property is sensitive to the distance between the nanoparticles of the assembly. The nanoparticles assembly itself is used as a test specimen and allows a force to be quantified even if the nanoparticles assembly is deposited on a rigid substrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2015Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: NANOMADE CONCEPTInventors: Benoît Viallet, Laurence Ressier, Jérémie Grisolia, Lionel Songeon, Eric Mouchel La Fosse, Lukas Czornomaz

Patent number: 9164009Abstract: The invention concerns a device for measuring the pressure of a fluid carried in a conduit. The device comprises a first electrode, a second electrode, a nanoassembly of conductive or semi-conductive nanoparticles in contact with the two electrodes, and a measurement device. The measurement device provides proportional information with respect to an electrical property of the nanoassembly. The electrical property is measured between the first and second electrode, and the electrical property is sensitive to the distance between the nanoparticles of the nanoassembly. The nanoassembly is mechanically linked to a flexible substrate having a mechanical linkage with the fluid carried in the conduit such that the distances between the nanoparticles of the nanoassembly are modified by a pressure variation in the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2011Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: NANOMADE CONCEPTInventors: Eric Mouchel La Fosse, Lionel Songeon
