Ammar Azioune 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).

  • Patent number: 10159974
    Abstract: The invention relates to a surface treatment method for treating the inner walls of a microchannel made from a polymeric material that is at least partially photocured or thermoset. Said treatment is carried out via irradiation in the air at a wavelength of less than or equal to 300 nm. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a microfluidic device including such a surface treatment step.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 11, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 25, 2018

  • Patent number: 10024866
    Abstract: A device for the microstructured grafting of proteins onto a substrate, comprising a substrate (7), a layer comprising a polyethylene glycol and being placed on the substrate, a matrix (10) of micromirrors for propagating the light in a first pattern and for replacing the first pattern with a second pattern. The microfluidic circuit is filled so as to bring a first aqueous solution containing a first protein into contact with the layer, a first microstructured image of the first pattern being formed on the layer to photoprint the first protein on the layer, and the microfluidic circuit is adapted to replace the first aqueous solution with a second aqueous solution containing a second protein so as to bring the second aqueous solution and the layer into contact, the first pattern being replaced with the second pattern in order to photoprint the second protein on the layer.
