Patent number: 11875980Abstract: A method is for depositing a dielectric material on to a substrate in a chamber by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering with a pulsed DC magnetron device which produces one or more primary magnetic fields. In the method, a sputtering material is sputtered from a target, wherein the target and the substrate are separated by a gap in the range 2.5 to 10 cm and a secondary magnetic field is produced within the chamber which causes a plasma produced by the pulsed DC magnetron device to expand towards one or more walls of the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Inventors: Stephen R Burgess, Rhonda Hyndman, Amit Rastogi, Eduardo Paulo Lima, Clive L Widdicks, Paul Rich, Scott Haymore, Daniel Cook

Publication number: 20240010818Abstract: Methods include producing tunable carbon structures and combining carbon structures with a polymer to form a composite material. Carbon structures include crinkled graphene. Methods also include functionalizing the carbon structures, either in-situ, within the plasma reactor, or in a liquid collection facility. The plasma reactor has a first control for tuning the specific surface area (SSA) of the resulting tuned carbon structures as well as a second, independent control for tuning the SSA of the tuned carbon structures. The composite materials that result from mixing the tuned carbon structures with a polymer results in composite materials that exhibit exceptional favorable mechanical and/or other properties. Mechanisms that operate between the carbon structures and the polymer yield composite materials that exhibit these exceptional mechanical properties are also examined.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Lyten, Inc.Inventors: Michael W.

Patent number: 11839367Abstract: A method of attaching target tissue to a pilot hole in a bone that utilizes a suture assembly having an anchor sleeve; a sliding suture, having a first end and a second end, and passing through the anchor sleeve; and a shuttle having a shuttle loop and a free end, opposed to the shuttle loop, and passing through the anchor sleeve, with the free end and the shuttle outside of the anchor sleeve. In the method, the sliding suture is passed about the target tissue and the first end is engaged to the shuttle loop. Then, the anchor sleeve is pushed into the pilot hole, and the free end is pulled to pull the shuttle into the anchor sleeve in the pilot hole, thereby setting the anchor sleeve into the pilot hole.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Riverpoint Medical, LLCInventors: Elliot Bixby, Edwin Anderson, Nathan Daniel Cook, John Thomas Ferguson
