  • Universally oriented renewable liquid mirror
    Patent number: 6764187
    Abstract: A universally oriented liquid mirror. A liquid and a penetrable unit are operatively connected to provide a mirror that can be universally oriented.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2001
    Date of Patent: July 20, 2004
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Dmitri D. Ryutov, Arthur Toor
  • Renewable liquid reflecting zone plate
    Patent number: 6661558
    Abstract: A renewable liquid reflecting zone plate. Electrodes are operatively connected to a dielectric liquid in a circular or other arrangement to produce a reflecting zone plate. A system for renewing the liquid uses a penetrable substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2001
    Date of Patent: December 9, 2003
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Arthur Toor, Dmitri D. Ryutov
  • Renewable liquid reflection grating
    Patent number: 6631032
    Abstract: A renewable liquid reflection grating. Electrodes are operatively connected to a conducting liquid in an arrangement that produces a reflection grating and driven by a current with a resonance frequency. In another embodiment, the electrodes create the grating by a resonant electrostatic force acting on a dielectric liquid.
