  • High speed two-dimensional event detection and imaging using an analog interface and a massively parallel processor
    Patent number: 11523076
    Abstract: A quantitative pulse count (event detection) algorithm with linearity to high count rates is accomplished by combining a high-speed, high frame rate camera with simple logic code run on a massively parallel processor such as a GPU or a FPGA. The parallel processor elements examine frames from the camera pixel by pixel to find and tag events or count pulses. The tagged events are combined to form a combined quantitative event image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 6, 2022
    Assignee: Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporate

  • RARE-EARTH-FREE OR NOBLE METAL-FREE LARGE MAGNETIC COERCIVITY NANOSTRUCTURED FILMS
    Publication number: 20130236720
    Abstract: Rare-earth-free, noble-metal-free nanostructured magnetic material thin films and methods of synthesis are described. Magnetocrystalline, ferrimagnetic thin films with islands of aligned single magnetic domains possess large coercivity. In particular, MnxGa thin films are described. These materials provide a potential substitute to rare-earth-based and noble-metal-based magnets in applications related to electric motors and generators, audio headphones and speakers, recording media and magnetic hard drive memory.
