Patents by Inventor Jason M. Lewis

Jason M. Lewis 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).

  • Patent number: 11079512
    Abstract: The detection and assay of fissionable material is carried out on a container known or suspected to have a material with at least one fissionable isotope. The material is irradiated with neutrons from two or more different neutron sources. The fission rates inducted at each irradiation energy are acquired with at least one neutron detector. A multispectral active neutron interrogation analysis (MANIA) is carried out to compare the detected fission rates of the neutron spectra with calculated fission rates where an iterative algorithm is carried out on a system of linear equations to solve for the isotopic composition of one or more isotopes to determine the presence, identity, and quantities of fissionable isotopes in said container.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 8, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 3, 2021
    Assignee: University of Florida Research Foundation, Incorporated

  • Publication number: 20140288948
    Abstract: A method includes performing operations as follows on at least one processor: associating a health care professional (HCP) with an event, the event comprising a transaction involving a transfer of value from an entity to the HCP, electronically generating a recordation of an acceptance of the transfer of value by the HCP during the transaction, and saving the recordation of the acceptance of the transfer of value in a data repository.
