Patents by Inventor Daniel Rohde

Daniel Rohde 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: 11216975
    Abstract: A hybrid phantom having marker patches that are visible both in a thermal image captured by a thermal camera and a 3D point cloud generated by a 3D camera. A thermal insulation between the marker, patches and a carrier part of the phantom maintains a temperature difference between the marker patches and the carrier part such that the marker patches are visible in the thermal image. Different optical properties of the marker patches and the carrier part make them distinguishable in the 3D point cloud.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10796446
    Abstract: A hybrid phantom including a planar surface that includes a background surface having one of a first property and a second property, and a plurality of marker surfaces. Each marker surface of the plurality of marker surfaces having the other one of the first property and the second property. The first property involves having a high thermal emissivity of 0.8 or higher and the second property involves having a low thermal emissivity of 0.2 or less. One of the first property and the second property further involves being diffuse reflective and the other one of the first property and the second property further involves being specular reflective. A method using a system comprising the hybrid phantom, a first, thermal camera, a second, three-dimensional (3D) camera, and a computer.

  • Patent number: 5246795
    Abstract: A lithium carbon monoflouride electrochemical cell adapted for high temperature use and storage. The high temperature capability is provided by incorporating into such cells novel components such as a polyetheretherketone grommet, a single layer non-woven glass fiber separator, a sealant which contains up to fifteen percent, by weight, silicone, and an electrolyte which contains an increased proportion of propylene carbonate. For temperatures above 180.degree. C., the metal lithium anode conventionally used in LiCF.sub.x cells may be replaced by a lithium-alloy material.
