Publication number: 20240005116Abstract: In a general aspect, orientation information is used to generate a unique code. In some aspects, orientation information is extracted from an object. The object includes multiple elements, and the orientation information indicates the relative spatial orientations of the respective elements. The orientation information can be extracted, for instance, by a scanner system that detects the elements. A unique code is generated for the object based on the orientation information. In some examples, the elements are diamond particles that each have one or more color centers, and the orientation information is extracted by detecting the color centers.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: DUST Identity, Inc.Inventors: Ophir Gaathon, Jonathan Hodges

Publication number: 20230159622Abstract: Novel collagen mimics are disclosed with a tripeptide unit having the formula (Xaa-Yaa-Gly)n, where one of the positions Xaa or Yaa is a bulky, non-electron withdrawing proline derivative. By substituting a proline derivative at either the Xaa or Yaa position in the native collagen helix, the stability of the helix is increased due solely to steric effects relative to prior known collagen-related triple helices. Methods are also disclosed for making the novel collagen mimics.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2022Publication date: May 25, 2023Inventors: Ronald T. Raines, Matthew D. Shoulders, Jonathan A.

Publication number: 20220242160Abstract: In a general aspect, unique unclonable physical identifiers are applied and used. A method of applying the unique marker can include receiving an object having a surface feature and forming a unique marker on the surface feature of the object. The unique marker includes a distribution of elements and conforms with a morphology of the surface feature. The method further includes extracting orientation information from the unique marker. The orientation information can indicate relative spatial orientations of the respective elements. The method additionally includes generating a unique code for the object based on the orientation information. The surface feature can be facets, surface patterns, textures, or other indentations of the object. The surface feature can include a region of the object that is susceptible to tampering.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Applicant: DUST Identity, Inc.Inventors: Ophir Gaathon, Peter Gillooly, Jonathan Hodges, Jeffrey Germain, Sinan Karaveli

Patent number: 9385654Abstract: Techniques for obtaining a frequency standard using the crystal field splitting frequency of nitrogen vacancy center in diamond are disclosed. In certain exemplary embodiments, a microwave field is applied to the diamond and optically exciting the diamond under green light. The photoluminescent response of the diamond is measured by a photodetector. The intensity of the photoluminescent response can be used to determine the phase shift between the microwave and the crystal field splitting frequency. The microwave field frequency can be adjusted until the phase shift is below a predetermined threshold, and the microwave frequency can then be output for use as a standard.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignees: THE TRUSTEES OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGEInventors: Dirk R.
