Simon Dawe 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).

  • Publication number: 20240061342
    Abstract: An electron beam lithography (Ebeam) method for a wafer having alignment and device layers with a design alignment. The Ebeam method includes executing an Ebeam scan of predefined length and resolution based on the design alignment over a pattern edge of the device layer, generating a signal from reflections of the Ebeam scan off the pattern edge, determining an offset of the device layer relative to the alignment layer from a comparison of the signal and the design alignment and applying the offset to the design alignment to obtain an actual measurement of Ebeam alignment.

  • Publication number: 20200319152
    Abstract: The invention relates to cartridges for thin layer chromatography (TLC) which hermetically seal the TLC mobile phase during loading, performance of the TLC process, and analysis of the chromatogram. It further relates to associated methods of use—for example for detecting or quantifying an analyte in a sample. It further relates to processes for assembling the cartridge, to associated equipment adapted for use with them, and kits of parts.

  • Patent number: 10334461
    Abstract: An automated solution for measuring the performance of one or more selected apps across a wireless network, from a given location. The device of the invention, which may be termed a ‘probe’, performs the automation and validation of a range of apps with their respective cloud services, the probe including a local interface for receiving from a remote controller the credentials intended for testing the target app service if applicable. The invention can be used to generate an alert when the performance of a particular app at the location fails to meet certain criteria. It can also be sued to generate a report relating to the app performance at the location.

  • Publication number: 20080204546
    Abstract: A stereoscopic display device comprises a display device for displaying a pixellated display image; and a stereoscopic conversion screen. The conversion screen comprises an array of light guiding members, each light guiding member being associated with an underlying pixel or sub-array of pixels, and wherein alternate rows of light guiding members are arranged to direct light from the associated pixel or sub-array of pixels to different viewing positions. The invention provides spatial multiplexing of images into successive horizontal rows, rather than in vertical columns, as in common practice. This can resolve a looming problem so that a stereoscopic effect is perceived across the full width of the 2D image. This spatial multiplexing screen may be combined with a dynamic temporal multiplexing arrangement to increase the number of views. The invention also relates to such a dynamic temporal multiplexing system.
