Patent number: 11828682Abstract: A liquid chromatography flow cell including an integrated light source and an integrated detection chamber. The integrated light source includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), wherein each LED emits light of a specific wavelength. The light emitted from the integrated light source is directed to pass through a sample in a flow chamber of the flow cell without any optical conditioning, and the light not absorbed by the sample flows out of the flow chamber directly into the integrated detection chamber, where an intensity of the unabsorbed light is measured by detectors coupled to the integrated chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Phoseon Technology, Inc.Inventors: Garth Eliason, Patrick Kain, John Christopher Freitag, Doug Childers, Jay Pasquantonio

Patent number: 11806988Abstract: Systems and methods for achieving increased irradiation and/or illumination in a photo reactive system is disclosed. In one example, a photo reactive system includes a light source, a refractive cylindrical optic, and a curved reflector. By utilizing the refractive cylindrical optic, angular spread of the light source is reduced, which in turn reduces a size of the curved reflector for directing the light rays onto a work piece. Consequently, a more compact photo reactive system with higher irradiation and/or illumination capabilities can be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Phoseon Technology, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Kain, Garth Eliason

Patent number: 11747266Abstract: A system for irradiating a microplate may include a modular light engine with one or more light emitting devices. The light emitting devices are configured to emit germicidal radiation to irradiate the microplate, which is configured to be positioned below the modular light engine inside a chamber of the microplate irradiation system. In this way, a uniform intensity of germicidal radiation may be output by light emitting devices, resulting in disruption of contaminating nucleic acids present in the microplate.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2017Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Phoseon Technology, Inc.Inventors: John Christopher Freitag, Theresa Thompson, Garth Eliason, Jay Pasquantonio

Patent number: 11262460Abstract: A radiation monitor for a lighting device, and operating methods and systems therefor are provided. In one example, a radiation monitor may include a first sensor receiving radiation output directly from a light-emitting element of the lighting device and radiation output from external sources; and a second sensor receiving the radiation output from the external sources without receiving the radiation output directly from the light-emitting element of the lighting device. The radiation monitor may determine an intensity of the radiation output directly from the light-emitting element based on a difference in the output signals from the first sensor and the second sensor.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Phoseon Technology, Inc.Inventors: Gary Nordseth, Garth Eliason, Gordon Neumann, Gary Till, Gary McKenzie

Patent number: 9764049Abstract: A method of irradiating a work piece may include forming a cutout recessed from a surface of a light guide, positioning the work piece inside the cutout, irradiating a light input surface of the light guide with UV light, and guiding the UV light from within the light guide through recessed surfaces of the cutout to irradiate the work piece.

Patent number: 9366417Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a lighting module and related components for efficiently directing dissipated heat and/or heated air away from the lighting module. Deflectors are often used to funnel heat away from solid-state light emitters and channel airflow away from a curing surface, but the risk of constrained airflow may negatively affect emitter output as well as disturb the curing process of a workpiece emitted light is directed towards. To efficiently remove heat as well as not disturb the curing process or shape of the lighting module, louvered vents are provided that extend into an interior of a housing of the lighting module for guiding heated air in a deflecting direction away from the emitted light direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2014Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Phoseon Technology, Inc.Inventors: Garth Eliason, Gary Till
