Charles D. Eggleton 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).

  • Optical alignment deformation spectroscopy
    Patent number: 9487812
    Abstract: A microfluidic system, device, and method are disclosed. The microfluidic system may include a first microfluidic channel and a second microfluidic channel, each of which are carrying one or more objects. There is an intersection between the first and second microfluidic channels where one or more objects from the first microfluidic channel impact one or more objects from the second microfluidic channel under hydrodynamic forces. The impact causes the objects to deform and the deformation of objects can be analyzed to determine properties of the object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 19, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 8, 2016
    Assignee: Colorado School of Mines
    Inventors: Keith B. Neeves, David W. M. Marr, Kevin B. Roth, Charles D. Eggleton
