Patents by Inventor John E. Booth

John E. Booth 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).

  • LAMINATED, LOW-PROFILE, VIBRATION-DAMPED TABLETOP
    Publication number: 20220288595
    Abstract: A low-profile, vibration-damped tabletop for supporting sensitive scientific equipment is described. The tabletop may include a laminated structure having a lower metal plate that is sized to achieve a desired weight for the tabletop, a manufactured, homogenous filler and a “clean top” metal upper skin having a plurality of holes backed by liquid impermeable barriers. The damping characteristics are improved at low frequencies compared to a comparable structure with a honeycomb filler.

  • Precision optical tabletop
    Patent number: 10823246
    Abstract: A precision tabletop for scientific instrumentation is described. The tabletop may be manufactured from as few as two pieces of material, include a honeycomb stiffening and vibration damping structure, be sealed from fluid ingress, include interior reinforcing structures, and permit accurate registration of machined features on all sides of the tabletop.

  • USER-TUNED, ACTIVE VIBRATION-ISOLATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20190078643
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods to reduce unwanted motion in precision instruments are described. An active vibration-isolation system may be configured to receive a user-selectable setting, sense a stability of operation of the vibration-isolation system, and indicate whether the user-selectable setting provides stable vibration isolation. The settings may be changed by the user to improve vibration-isolation performance without requiring installation of the system by a skilled vibration-isolation engineer.
