Patents by Inventor Ray Baughman

Ray Baughman 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).

  • Colored articles and compositions and methods for their fabrication
    Patent number: 6153299
    Abstract: This invention provides improved methods and compositions for achieving material coloration using particle scattering. These coloration effects can be designed to be either highly stable or dependent upon the switching effects of either temperature, integrated thermal exposure, moisture absorption, or exposure to actinic radiation. Articles employing materials with these coloration effects are described. Composition comprise a solid, light-transmitting matrix component having a non-liquid particle scattering colorant dispersed. Articles are produced wherein another solid second matrix component has an electronic transition colorant dispersed therein and the first and second compositions are disposed on one another and optionally interpenetrate each other. Colored articles are produced in the form of fibers, films and molded articles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 1999
    Date of Patent: November 28, 2000
    Assignee: AlliedSignal Inc.
    Inventors: Tammy Lynn Smith, Ray Baughman, Mary Frances Martin, Wonsik Choi, Jeffrey Moulton

  • Superconducting ceramics by sequential electrodeposition of metals, followed by oxidation
    Patent number: 5162295
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for forming deposits of superconducting ceramics by sequentially electrodepositing layers of metals, of a type and in proportion suitable for forming a superconducting ceramic, to form a precursor metal deposit, followed by oxidizing the precursor deposit to form a superconducting ceramic deposit. Optionally, the electroplating steps are conducted in such a manner that a patterned precursor deposit results, to obtain a patterned superconducting deposit after oxidation.
