Sammye E. Traudt 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).

  • Radiant thermal energy absorbing analytical column
    Patent number: 7559226
    Abstract: An analytical column includes a coating that absorbs at least one of ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) radiant energy and converts the radiant energy into heat.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 16, 2006
    Date of Patent: July 14, 2009
    Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.
    Inventor: Sammye E. Traudt
  • Systems and methods for maximizing heat transfer efficiency to and minimizing thermal gradients in an analytic column
    Patent number: 7409850
    Abstract: An improved gas chromatograph system includes a radiant source, an insert located to receive an output of the radiant source, and an analytic column wound on a concave surface of the insert so that successive coils of the wound analytic column are in direct contact with each other and exert an outward pressure on the concave surface of the insert such that the outward pressure minimizes a gap between the analytic column and the concave surface of the insert so as to minimize thermal gradients and maximize heat transfer to the analytic column.
