Noah Smick 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).

  • Method and system for surface modification of substrate for ion beam target
    Patent number: 11553584
    Abstract: Design and making methods of a neutrons generating target are described. In some embodiments, a surface of a target substrate can be modified to form one or more surface features. In some embodiments, a neutron source layer can be disposed on the surface of the target substrate. In some embodiments, the neutron source layer and the target substrate can be heated to an elevated temperature to form a bond between the two. In some embodiments, the surface modification of the target substrate can reduce blistering and material exfoliation in the target. The target can be used in boron neutron capture therapy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 8, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2023
    Assignee: Neutron Therapeutics, Inc.
    Inventors: William H. Park, Jr., Mark Lambert, Joseph Gillespie, Noah Smick, Takao Sakase
