Patent number: 10213763Abstract: A method and a system for producing a change in a medium disposed in an artificial container. The method places in a vicinity of the medium at least one of a plasmonics agent and an energy modulation agent. The method applies an initiation energy through the artificial container to the medium. The initiation energy interacts with the plasmonics agent or the energy modulation agent to directly or indirectly produce the change in the medium. The system includes an initiation energy source configured to apply an initiation energy to the medium to activate the plasmonics agent or the energy modulation agent.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignees: IMMUNOLIGHT, LLC., DUKE UNIVERSITYInventors: Frederic Avery Bourke, Jr., Tuan Vo-Dinh

Patent number: 10087343Abstract: A method of and system for adhesive bonding. The method and system a) treat a surface of an element to be bonded to provide an adherent structure including one or more rubber compounds on the surface; b) place a polymerizable adhesive composition, including at least one photoinitiator and at least one energy converting material, in contact with the adherent structure and two or more components to be bonded to form an assembly, c) irradiated the assembly with radiation at a first wavelength, capable of conversion by the at least one energy converting material, to a second wavelength capable of activating the at least one photoinitiator to produce from the polymerizable adhesive composition a cured adhesive composition; and d) adhesively join the two or more components by way of the adherent structure and the cured adhesive composition.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: IMMUNOLIGHT, LLCInventors: Zakaryae Fathi, Frederic Avery Bourke, Jr., Harold Walder

Patent number: 9943094Abstract: A method and a system for producing a change in a medium. The method places in a vicinity of the medium an energy modulation agent. The method applies an initiation energy to the medium. The initiation energy interacts with the energy modulation agent to directly or indirectly produce the change in the medium. The energy modulation agent has a normal predominant emission of radiation in a first wavelength range outside of a second wavelength range (WR2) known to produce the change, but under exposure to the applied initiation energy produces the change. The system includes an initiation energy source configured to apply an initiation energy to the medium to activate the energy modulation agent.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2016Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: IMMUNOLIGHT, LLC.Inventors: Frederic Avery Bourke, Jr., Zakaryae Fathi, Harold Walder, Wayne F. Beyer, Jr.
