Bienvenido Melvin L. Pascoguin 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).

  • Complete optical encapsulation of particulates
    Patent number: 8859950
    Abstract: Methods enable the capture and manipulation of minute particles. One method includes locating a particle on a specimen stage; generating a finite-length open-ended hollow tube laser output around the particle; generating opposing end-cap laser outputs at either end of the hollow tube laser output to enclose the particle; and moving at least one of the specimen stage, hollow tube laser output and end cap laser outputs to re-position the particle. Another method includes locating a particle on a specimen stage; generating a first finite-length open-ended hollow tube laser output around the particle; generating a second finite-length open-ended hollow tube laser output around the particle, whereby the particle becomes enclosed at the intersection of the first and second hollow tube laser outputs; and pivoting at least one of the first and second hollow tube laser outputs such that the particle is re-positioned.
