Patents by Inventor Lucile C. Teague

Lucile C. Teague 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).

  • Modification of solid state CdZnTe (CZT) radiation detectors with high sensitivity or high resolution operation
    Patent number: 8884228
    Abstract: An apparatus and process is provided to illustrate the manipulation of the internal electric field of CZT using multiple wavelength light illumination on the crystal surface at RT. The control of the internal electric field is shown through the polarization in the IR transmission image under illumination as a result of the Pockels effect.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 11, 2014
    Assignees: Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC, Fisk University
    Inventors: Aaron L. Washington, II, Martine C. Duff, Lucile C. Teague, Arnold Burger, Michael Groza
  • Method and system for reducing device performance degradation of organic devices
    Patent number: 8822984
    Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing the deleterious effects of gate bias stress on the drain current of an organic device, such as an organic thin film transistor, are provided. In a particular aspect, the organic layer of an organic device is illuminated with light having characteristics selected to reduce the gate bias voltage effects on the drain current of the organic device. For instance, the wavelength and intensity of the light are selected to provide a desired recovery of drain current of the organic device. If the characteristics of the light are appropriately matched to the organic device, recovery of the deleterious effects caused by gate bias voltage stress effects on the drain current of the organic device can be achieved. In a particular aspect, the organic device is selectively illuminated with light to operate the organic device in multiple modes of operation.
