Patent number: 11567234Abstract: Structured beams, Bessel beams, Laguerre Gaussian beams, and focused Gaussian are used as a natural waveguide and its group velocity can be subluminal (slower than the speed of light) as compared to a Gaussian beam in free space. A free space dispersion relation for a Bessel beam, i.e., the dependence of its wavenumber on its angular frequency, is outlined from which the Bessel beam's subliminal group velocity is derived. For reasonable conditions a Bessel light beam has associated parameters that allow slowing near a critical frequency. The application of Bessel beams for a natural optical buffer in free space is presented. Optical transitions and selection rules in materials are altered by structured light carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). Nano antennas are used to enhance the interactions of structured light.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Research Foundation of the City University of New YorkInventors: Robert R. Alfano, Daniel Nolan

Patent number: 10087087Abstract: A water distribution system having a dual use water treatment unit. The same water treatment unit can be used to treat water supplied from a fill port to a storage tank during a fill operation, as well as water leaving the storage tank for supply to one or more points of water use during a supply operation. When a diverter valve is in a fill position, water supplied to the fill port can flow through the diverter valve and to the water treatment unit for treatment then to the storage tank for storage. When the diverter valve is in a supply position, the water from the storage tank can be delivered using means for pressurizing water to the same treatment unit for treatment, then through the diverter valve and to a point of water use device.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: International Water-Guard Industries, Inc.Inventor: Peter Daniel Nolan

Patent number: 8965217Abstract: A method of superimposing N optical transmission modes for collective transmission along a multimode optical fiber is provided where each of the N optical signals comprises N distinct superimposed transmission modes (M1, M2, . . . ) and a portion of each of the N propagating optical signals is sampled at a receiving end of the data transmission network. N2?1 distinct measurement conditions are derived from a transmission matrix T and a special unitary matrix group SU(N) corresponding to the superimposed transmission modes (M1, M2, . . . ) at the receiving end of the data transmission network and N2?1 measurements are extracted from the sampled signals. The extracted N2?1 measurements are used to solve a matrix equation corresponding to the generated SU(N) matrices and the output matrix transposed and used to generating principal state launch conditions from the eigenvectors of the transposed output matrix to form a principal state in each of the N optical signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignees: Corning Incorporated, The Research Foundation of CUNY of behalf of the City College of New YorkInventors: Daniel A.
