Patent number: 11776705Abstract: A method of providing alpha particle emitters and materials suitable for use in generating the alpha particles for medical treatment is disclosed. Metal oxide targets, preferentially Bi2O3 pellets and Bi2O3 coatings on metallic or metal oxide substrates are formed. The targets placed in a heated vacuum chamber subjecting to irradiation using a 6Li beam at an elevated temperature below the melting point of the target generate a radioactive gas, such as 211Rn, the radioactive gas is carried by an inert gas which is delivered a carrier for, such as a carbon column or oil for delivery to a treatment facility. The radioactive gas such as 211Rn generates 211At, which has a useable half-life of at least about 14 hours, in turn releases alpha particles which are effective for use in medical procedures.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: INNOSENSE LLCInventors: Uma Sampathkumaran, Raymond Winter, Harini Madakashira

Patent number: 11760888Abstract: Materials are disclosed for the safe sequestration and removal of hazardous contaminants from a surface. The materials can be sprayed, rolled, painted, brushed or dip coated onto any surface and allowed to dry and/or cure at room temperature or drying/curing can be accelerated by the application of heat to form a coating that entraps the contaminant therein. The coating and the entrapped contaminant can then peeled from the surface and safely disposed of to minimize hazardous waste. The coating includes a colorimetric additive that is specific to the contaminant, the coating and the contaminant producing a visual indication of contamination.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: INNOSENSE LLCInventors: Uma Sampathkumaran, Kevin H.

Patent number: 10435584Abstract: The present invention relates to hydrophilic anti-fog coatings. In particular, the coatings use two types of nanoscale particles, colloidal silica and porous organosilicate micelles, in a polyurethane matrix. The invention is an anti-fog coating for optically clear substrates (polycarbonate, polyurethane, nylon, polyester and other clear plastics) without the need for a primer and glass substrates with an additional primer layer, comprising monosized colloidal silica nanoparticles and porous organosilicate micelles in a polyurethane matrix. The silica is preferably 1-5% by weight and the micelles are loaded at 0.1 to 10% volume percentage by volume. The polyurethane prepolymer is dissolved at 10-40% by weight in a mixture of tertiary amyl alcohol and diacetone alcohol to customize for dip, flow or spray coating processes.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: INNOSENSE LLCInventors: Uma Sampathkumaran, Kevin H.

Publication number: 20180364188Abstract: A sensor array comprising multiple discrete sensors for providing detection and prognosis of various diseases. The array is made up of multiple discrete sensors, each of which has a first and a second noble metal electrode on a silicon substrate, said electrodes separated by a gap. An electrically conductive pathway across the gap between the first and second noble electrodes is provided by a nano-network of functionalized polymer nanowires or carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) the arrangement providing a sensor. The multiple discrete sensors comprise a reference cell and multiple detection sensors functionalized using a panel of capture molecules to detect the same or different diseases or biological functions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: Anamika Ray, Yifan Tang, Maksudul M.
