Christoph Boehme 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).

  • Patent number: 10408896
    Abstract: A monolithic reusable microwire assembly can include a substrate and an electrically conductive thin-film wire formed on the substrate. The conductive thin-film wire can include a narrow segment forming an active area. A thermally and electrically insulating barrier can be formed on the electrically conductive thin-film wire. A roughness-reducing layer can be formed on the thermally and electrically insulating barrier and can have minimal surface roughness.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2019
    Assignee: University of Utah Research Foundation

  • Patent number: 9551772
    Abstract: An organic, spin-dependent magnetic field sensor (10) includes an active stack (12) having an organic material with a spin-dependence. The sensor (10) also includes a back electrical contact (14) electrically coupled to a back of the active stack (12) and a front electrical contact (16) electrically coupled to a front of the active stack (12). A magnetic field generator (18) is oriented so as to provide an oscillating magnetic field which penetrates the active stack (12).

  • Publication number: 20120087867
    Abstract: A method of inducing nuclear spin hyper-antipolarization in a solid material is disclosed and described. The solid material can be subjected to an ultralow temperature and a magnetic field. The solid material can include donor nuclei and a carrier material while the material also has both a nuclear spin and an electron spin which are coupled sufficiently to allow an Overhauser effect. The solid material can be subjected at the ultralow temperature to a light source for a time sufficient to induce a substantial nuclear spin antipolarization in the solid material and form a nuclear spin hyper-antipolarized material. The ultralow temperature and light source are controlled so as to be sufficient to drive a non-equilibrium nuclear Overhauser effect of hyperfine coupled electron and nuclear spins. The resulting nuclear spin hyper-antipolarized material can be used for a variety of applications such as medical imaging and quantum computing.

  • Publication number: 20090214440
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for analyzing a biological tissue, whereby a luminescence light of a luminescence substance is detected. The aim of the invention is to increase the precision and reliability of the analysis. To this end, a permutation symmetry imbalance is generated in the tissue by a magnetic field, the permutation symmetry imbalance is modified at a pre-determined location by a magnetic alternating field, and the luminescence light is detected according to the pre-determined location.
