Patents by Inventor Daniel Vincent Esposito

Daniel Vincent Esposito 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: 10844494
    Abstract: Methods and systems for electrochemically producing at least one product are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems include a membraneless electrochemical flow-through reactor. A pair of porous electrodes configured at an angle to each other is disposed within the reactor in a channel of flowing electrolyte including a target reactant. As the electrolyte stream flows through the porous electrodes, a voltage is applied across the electrodes, resulting in the generation of a catholyte effluent stream and an anolyte effluent stream Gaseous and/or liquid products may then be separated from these streams. The membraneless electrochemical flow-through reactor is an easy to design and assemble apparatus for a variety of electrochemical processes.

  • Patent number: 10739378
    Abstract: The system is configured for performing scanning electrochemical microscopy via non-local continuous line probes. The continuous line probes include an insulating probe substrate, an insulating layer, and a conductive band electrode. The system includes a sample stage for positioning a sample substrate to be imaged so as to enable contact with the insulting probe substrate at an angle ?CLP. The continuous line probe is translated across the sample substrate and changes in the signal generated at the continuous line probe are identified to indicate the presence of features on the sample substrate. A plurality of scans are performed at different angles via rotating the sample stage or the continuous line probe, the results of which are combined and analyzed to produce an image of the sample substrate via compressed sensing reconstruction.
