Dianna L. DeVore 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).

  • Methods for producing optical fiber by focusing high viscosity liquid
    Publication number: 20040216492
    Abstract: The invention is directed to the production of optical fibers from optical fiber preforms using flow physics. The present methods provide for the “drawing” of an optical fiber preform using focusing of the preform by a surrounding fluid, e.g. a heated gas.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 28, 2004
    Publication date: November 4, 2004
    Applicant: Universidad de Sevilla and Flow Focusing, Inc.
    Inventors: Alfonso M. Ganan-Calvo, Dianna L. DeVore
