  • Shoe sole with enhanced performance characteristics
    Patent number: 11627777
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sole for a footwear article. The sole is formed from an elastomeric compound comprising at least one elastomer, and at least one graphene based material, in an amount ranging from 0.1 wt % to 5 wt % relative to the weight of said at least one elastomer, essentially uniformly distributed in said at least one elastomer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 18, 2023
    Assignee: INOVEIGHT LIMITED
    Inventors: Ian Bailey, Douglas Sheridan, Aravind Vijayaraghavan, Maria Iliut
  • Thin film material transfer method
    Patent number: 11180367
    Abstract: A method of transferring a two-dimensional material such as graphene onto a target substrate for use in the fabrication of micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS). The method includes providing the two-dimensional material in a first lower state of strain; and applying the two-dimensional material onto the target substrate whilst the two-dimensional material is under a second higher state of strain. A device comprising a strained two-dimensional material suspended over a cavity.
    Type: Grant

  • DEVICE AND METHOD OF FABRICATING SUCH A DEVICE
    Publication number: 20210198097
    Abstract: There is disclosed a device and method for fabricating such a device. The device includes cavities formed in a transparent substrate. A laminated membrane is mounted to the substrate and spans the cavities. The laminated membrane includes a layer of a flexible material, typically a polymer, and a layer of a two-dimensional material that is typically graphene.
