Nicholas Caviris 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).

  • Ultrahigh density charge transfer device
    Patent number: 5998874
    Abstract: Metal heated to a molten state is injected under a high hydrostatic penetration pressure into extremely small and closely spaced channels of an insulating matrix to form an array of electrically conductive pins or wires. The materials for the pins and matrix are selected for compatibility with respect to melting, matrix sintering and surface tension penetration conditions associated with the fabrication of a high density charge transfer device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 13, 1994
    Date of Patent: December 7, 1999
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Carmen I. Huber, Tito E. Huber, Nicholas Caviris

  • Photodetector array having high pixel density
    Patent number: 5389812
    Abstract: Photoconductive semiconductor material is injected into narrow and closely paced cylindrical channels in an insulating matrix plate to form pixel elements of a high resolution photodetector array. A transparent conductive layer is deposited on one surface of the photoconductor array while light reflecting pads are formed on the elements at the opposite surface. Subsequently, a layer of light modulating material and a transparent conductive layer are deposited on the opposite surface to obtain a high resolution spatial light modulator.
