Andrea Pochini 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).

  • Calix?4!arene compounds for detection of calcium
    Patent number: 5883235
    Abstract: Calix?4!arene compounds are disclosed that can be used as active components in a calcium sensitive sensor. The compounds exhibit strong calcium ion binding selectivity over sodium and potassium ions and they are stable during sterilization.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 14, 1997
    Date of Patent: March 16, 1999
    Assignee: Radiometer Medical A/S
    Inventors: Allan Milton Byrnard, Rocco Ungaro, Andrea Pochini
  • Sensors for detecting calcium with calix ?4! arene compounds
    Patent number: 5705620
    Abstract: A calix?4!arene compound, application of the compound as an active component in a calcium sensitive sensor, and a calcium sensitive sensor containing the compound. The sensor is not very sensitive to sodium and potassium ions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 8, 1996
    Date of Patent: January 6, 1998
    Assignee: Radiometer Medical A/S
    Inventors: Allan Milton Byrnard, Rocco Ungaro, Andrea Pochini
  • Ultrafine pattern forming method and ultrafine etching method using calixarene derivative as negative resist
    Patent number: 5702620
    Abstract: A resist film consisting of 5,11,17,23,29,35-hexachloromethyl-37, 38,39,40,41,42-hexamethoxycalix?6!arene sensitive to a high-energy beam and soluble to a solvent is formed on a substrate etchable by a dry etching, has a selective region thereof exposed to the high-energy beam, with a remaining region unexposed thereto, and developed to define a pattern on the substrate, as the remaining region is removed by the solvent, before the substrate with the pattern is subjected to the dry etching. A nanometric patterning and etching is permitted, with a reduced process time.
