Patents by Inventor Eli Travis Paster

Eli Travis Paster 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).

  • Interconnection between conducting polymer materials
    Patent number: 10134501
    Abstract: Method for connecting two portions of a first electrically conducting polymer with a second polymer. The method includes disposing a solution of a second polymer in a solvent to be in contact with the two portions of the first electrically conducting polymer and allowing the solvent to evaporate leaving the second polymer joining the two portions of the first polymer. The second polymer may be doped to improve its conductivity.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 20, 2018
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Ian W. Hunter, Lauren Montemayor, Eli Travis Paster, Priam Pillai
  • CONFORMABLE ANTENNA USING CONDUCTING POLYMERS
    Publication number: 20170301979
    Abstract: Antenna including a wire made of a conducting polymer. The wire is sewn into fabric material in a selected pattern. A preferred conducing polymer is polypyrrole. It is also preferred that the wire be encased in a non-conductive, low dielectric plastic.
    Type: Application

  • Flexible conducting polymer energy storage device
    Patent number: 9048029
    Abstract: Electrochemical redox supercapacitor. The supercapacitor includes two thin films of electrically conducting polymer separated by an ion-permeable membrane and including an electrolyte disposed between the two thin films. Electrical contacts are disposed on outer surfaces of the two thin films. The supercapacitor is flexible and may be rolled, folded on itself, or kept substantially flat. A suitable conducting polymer is polypyrrole. In another aspect, the invention is a method for making a redox supercapacitor.
