Jere Jenkins 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).

  • Detection of neutrinos
    Patent number: 9335420
    Abstract: A flux detection apparatus can include a radioactive sample having a decay rate capable of changing in response to interaction with a first particle or a field, and a detector associated with the radioactive sample. The detector is responsive to a second particle or radiation formed by decay of the radioactive sample. The rate of decay of the radioactive sample can be correlated to flux of the first particle or the field. Detection of the first particle or the field can provide an early warning for an impending solar event.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 10, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2016
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Ephraim Fischbach, Jere Jenkins
