  • Patent number: 12654197
    Abstract: A process of making sensors and sensor arrays that provided real time notification of any centerline deviation. Such production process can be adjusted in real time. Thus, large numbers of units can be made—even in millions of per day—with few if any out of specification units being produced. Such process does not require large-scale clean rooms and is easily configurable.

  • Patent number: 12622239
    Abstract: The present invention relates to sensors comprising pattern illumination-based annealed coated substrate and one or more functional molecules and process of using same. Such process yields components that can have one or more electronic and/or optical functionalities that are integrated on the same substrate or film and to which one or more functional molecules can be attached to yield a sensor. In addition, such process does not require large-scale clean rooms and is easily configurable. Thus, rapid device prototyping, design change and evolution in the lab and on the production side is realized. The resulting sensors provide a sensing capability that is as good as or better than current sensors and can be tailored to sense specific biomaterials and/or chemicals.
