Patent number: 11458216Abstract: The disclosure describes a method of reducing or preventing the growth of microbes on the surface of an object, wherein the object is of such material that it can act as a working electrode. The method comprises the steps of providing a counter electrode, and a reference electrode. The object is used as the working electrode. A first electrical current is passed through the working and counter electrodes. The first current through the counter electrode is varied such that a first electric potential of the working electrode is constant relative to the electric potential of the reference electrode. In some embodiments, a second electrical current is passed through the counter electrode such that a second electric potential of the working electrode is constant relative to the electric potential of the reference electrode.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignees: The Research Foundation for The State University of New York, Syracuse UniversityInventors: Mark Ehrensberger, Anthony A. Campagnari, Esther Takeuchi, Nicole Luke-Marshall, Jeremy Gilbert, Edward P. Furlani, Albert H. Titus, Amir Mokhtare

Publication number: 20190120780Abstract: A chamber for testing the reactivity of patient fluids to a metallic implant alloy, such as CoCrMo, and a method of determining the reactivity of the patent to the alloy. A sealed mini-electrochemical cell incorporates the alloy surface as well as reference and counter electrodes coupled to a potentiostat for performing electrochemical measurements of the alloy surface while it is in direct contact with freshly harvested human fluids. Freshly obtained body fluids are thus assessed in terms of their bioelectrochemical reactivity with the alloy surface as a measure of the likely reactivity of the patient to the alloy if it were to be implanted into the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Applicant: Syracuse UniversityInventor: Jeremy Gilbert

Patent number: 9135227Abstract: A method for enabling the provisioning and execution of a platform-independent application includes receiving, by a mobile computing device, from a provisioning source, an XML document describing at least a portion of functionality provided by an application. An abstraction layer executing on the mobile computing device populates a Document Object Model (“DOM”) structure at least in part representing the running state of the application consistent with the received XML document. The abstraction layer presents a device-appropriate application user interface responsive to the DOM structure. The application receives a user input from within the rendered application user interface. Programming code referenced by the DOM receives, from the abstraction layer, the input event. The programming code reconfigures the DOM, in response to the received input event to reflect a response by the application to the input.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: SQGo, LLCInventors: Bruce Warila, Brian D.

Patent number: 8876910Abstract: A method for selectively dissolving the beta (?) phase of a titanium alloy out of the surface of the alloy, thereby leaving behind a nano-scale porous surface having enhanced bonding properties with either a biological tissue, such as bone, or an adhesive material, such as a polymer or ceramic by immersing the alloy in an ionic aqueous solution containing high levels of hydrogen peroxide and then exposing the alloy to an electrochemical voltage process resulting in the selective dissolution of the beta phase to form a nano-topographic metallic surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2011Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Syracuse UniversityInventors: Jeremy Gilbert, Zhijun Bai, Nithya Chandrasekaran

Publication number: 20140197571Abstract: A thin high strength polymer based self-reinforced composite (SRC) made from a biocompatible and commonly used orthopedic implant material is interposed between the hard connections of the modular taper interface of an orthopedic implant. A thick film of this ultra high strength SRC with the fibers oriented to maximally resist the fretting motion and wear, can be interposed between the modular components to result in a relatively soft, non-conducting interposed layer that will prevent contact between hard interfaces and reduce or eliminate the oxide film abrasion associated with this mechanism. Alternatively, the SRC may be formed using surface control methods resist fretting, such as by using sticky-compliant surfaces and channels for fluid, among others.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2013Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: Syracuse UniversityInventor: Jeremy Gilbert

Patent number: 8546263Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to methods for fabricating devices on semiconductor substrates. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to methods of patterning magnetic materials. Certain embodiments described herein use a reducing chemistry containing a hydrogen gas or hydrogen containing gas with an optional dilution gas at temperatures ranging from 20 to 300 degrees Celsius at a substrate bias less than 1,000 DC voltage to reduce the amount of sputtering and redeposition. Exemplary hydrogen containing gases which may be used with the embodiments described herein include NH3, H2, CH4, C2H4, SiH4, and H2S. It has been found that patterning a magnetic tunnel junction with an oxidizer-free gas mixture comprising hydrogen maintains the integrity of the magnetic tunnel junction without producing harmful conductive residue.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2011Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Olivier Joubert, Benjamin Schwarz, Jérémy Gilbert Maurice Pereira, Kevin Menguelti, Erwine Maude Pargon, Maxime Darnon
