Patent number: 11095023Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an antenna that includes a substrate and a graphene or graphite layer positioned on at least a portion of the substrate. The graphene or graphite layer includes a first zone having a first thickness along a vertical direction of the antenna and a second zone having a second thickness along the vertical direction of the antenna. The second thickness is less than the first thickness such that the second zone has a greater electrical resistance than the first zone.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLCInventors: Donald W. Benza, Karl E. Harrar, Matthew D. Folsom

Patent number: 10151788Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for use of an autonomously powered inductive time domain reflectometer sensor device are provided. A sensor device for a power line can include a first induction coil and a second induction coil coupled to the power line and a control device. The first induction coil can be configured to inject a first signal on a power line by inducing a first current on the power line. The second induction coil can be configured to inject a second signal on the power line by inducing a second current on the power line. The control device can be configured to control the second induction coil to inject the second signal to cancel a portion of the first signal. As a result of the second signal cancelling a portion of the first signal, the first signal can be configured to propagate in a single direction on the power line.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2017Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLCInventors: Matthew D. Folsom, Klaehn W. Burkes

Patent number: 9377536Abstract: A radiation imaging system includes a casing and a camera disposed inside the casing. A first field of view through the casing exposes the camera to light from outside of the casing. An image plate is disposed inside the casing, and a second field of view through the casing to the image plate exposes the image plate to high-energy particles produced by a radioisotope outside of the casing. An optical reflector that is substantially transparent to the high-energy particles produced by the radioisotope is disposed with respect to the camera and the image plate to reflect light to the camera and to allow the high-energy particles produced by the radioisotope to pass through the optical reflector to the image plate.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLCInventors: John T. Bobbitt, III, David M. Immel, Matthew D. Folsom, Jean R. Plummer, Michael G. Serrato

Patent number: 9220942Abstract: A magnetometer and magnet are incorporated into a glove in order to measure the magnetic field between the two carrying an athletic movement such as a golf swing. The resulting magnetic field can be related to the distance between the magnet and the magnetometer in the wrist-joint angle, allowing a real time receptacle signal to be transmitted to the user when a proper wrist angel in achieved.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2015Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: W.A.T.
