Publication number: 20250338020Abstract: Control system configured for sample tracking in an electron microscope environment registers a movement associated with a region of interest located within an active area of a sample under observation with an electron microscope. The registered movement includes at least one directional constituent. The region of interest is positioned within a field of view of the electron microscope. The control system directs an adjustment of the electron microscope control component to one or more of dynamically center and dynamically focus the view through the electron microscope of the region of interest. The adjustment comprises one or more of a magnitude element and a direction element.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2025Publication date: October 30, 2025Inventors: Franklin Stampley Walden, II, John Damiano, JR., David P. Nackashi, Daniel Stephen Gardiner, Mark Uebel, Alan Philip Franks, Benjamin Jacobs

Publication number: 20250260901Abstract: Methods and systems for calibrating a transmission electron microscope are disclosed. A fiducial mark on the sample holder is used to identify known reference points so that a current collection area and a through-hole on the sample holder can be located. A plurality of beam current and beam area measurements are taken, and calibration tables are extrapolated from the measurements for a full range of microscope parameters. The calibration tables are then used to determine electron dose of a sample during an experiment at a given configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Franklin Stampley Walden, II, John Damiano, Jr., David P. Nackashi, Daniel Stephen Gardiner, Mark Uebel, Alan Philip Franks, Benjamin Jacobs, Joshua Brian Friend, Katherine Elizabeth Marusak, Nelson L. Marthe, Jr., Benjamin Bradshaw Larson

Patent number: 11905014Abstract: A technique for operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a terminal area from which the UAVs are staged includes charging a plurality of the UAVs on charging pads disposed in a staging array at the terminal area. Merchant facilities for preparing packages for delivery by the UAVs are disposed about a periphery of the staging array. The UAVs are relocated under their own propulsion from interior charging pads to peripheral loading pads of the staging array as the peripheral loading pads become available and the UAVs are deemed sufficiently charged and ready for delivery missions.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: WING Aviation LLCInventors: James Schmalzried, Benjamin Jacobs, Brandon Jones, Stephen Lacy, Jonathan Lesser, Aditya Undurti, André Prager
