Gordon Hoover 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).

  • Chemical vapor deposition coating of fibers using microwave application
    Patent number: 6391396
    Abstract: Chemical vapor deposition coating is carried out in a cylindrical cavity. The fibers are heated by a microwave source that is uses a TM0N0 mode, where O is an integer, and produces a field that depends substantially only on radius. The fibers are observed to determine their heating, and their position can be adjusted. Once the fibers are uniformly heated, a CVD reagent is added to process the fibers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 28, 2000
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2002
    Assignee: California Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Martin B. Barmatz, Gordon Hoover, Henry W. Jackson
