Wardia Mechtaly-Debray 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).

  • MEMS-BASED CANTILEVER ENERGY HARVESTER
    Publication number: 20160322559
    Abstract: The claimed invention is directed to integrated energy-harvesting piezoelectric cantilevers. The cantilevers are fabricated using sol-gel processing using a sacrificial poly-Si seeding layer. Improvements in film microstructure and electrical properties are realized by introducing a poly-Si seeding layer and by optimizing the poling process.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 10, 2016
    Publication date: November 3, 2016
    Inventors: Erika Fuentes-Fernandez, Pradeep Shah, Wardia Mechtaly-Debray, Bruce E. Gnade
