Patents by Inventor Marco RAHM

Marco RAHM 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).

  • FINITE-EMBEDDED COORDINATE DESIGNED TRANSFORMATION-OPTICAL DEVICES
    Publication number: 20150077855
    Abstract: The design method for complex electromagnetic materials is expanded from form-invariant coordinate transformations of Maxwell's equations to finite embedded coordinate transformations. Embedded transformations allow the transfer of electromagnetic field manipulations from the transformation-optical medium to another medium, thereby allowing the design of structures that are not exclusively invisible. A topological criterion for the reflectionless design of complex media is also disclosed and is illustrated in conjunction with the topological criterion to design a parallel beam shifter and a beam splitter with unconventional electromagnetic behavior.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 19, 2014
    Publication date: March 19, 2015
    Applicant: Duke University
