Patents by Inventor David John Goldie

David John Goldie 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).

  • Particle detector assembly
    Patent number: 7057172
    Abstract: A particle detector assembly includes a substrate on which are mounted at least two superconducting quasiparticle detectors. A processing system is connected to the detectors and distinguishes between events detected simultaneously in each detector and non-simultaneous events.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 11, 2003
    Date of Patent: June 6, 2006
    Assignee: Oxford Instruments Superconductivity LTD
    Inventor: David John Goldie
  • Particle detector assembly
    Patent number: 7019372
    Abstract: A particle detector assembly includes a superconducting absorber to which is coupled superconducting tunnel junction detectors for detecting particles incident on the absorber. Each superconducting tunnel junction detector includes superconducting tunnel junction devices connected in parallel.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for producing a transition edge sensor
    Patent number: 6765207
    Abstract: A method of producing a transition edge sensor comprises depositing a sensing material upon a substrate to form a sensing layer having an associated transition temperature. The transition temperature for the sensing layer is selected as desired. The desired transition temperature is produced by controlling the temperature of the substrate for the deposition process.

  • Particle detector assembly
    Publication number: 20030178567
    Abstract: A particle detector assembly comprises a substrate on which are mounted at least two superconducting quasiparticle detectors. A processing system is connected to the detectors and adapted to distinguish between events detected substantially simultaneously in each detector and non-simultaneous events.
