BARCODED END FACET PRINTED PHOTONIC CHIP AND BARCODE-GUIDED DIRECT LASER WRITING

NIST Inventors
Kartik Srinivasan and Edgar Perez
patent description (1) Disclosed is a barcoded end facet printed photonic chip comprising: an optically transparent direct laser writing substrate comprising a transverse waveguide writing surface to receive a direct write laser light for off-axis direct write laser printing and a facet surface to

QUANTUM-ENABLED FLOW CYTOMETER

NIST Inventors
Sergey Polyakov and Ivan Burenkov
patent description We invented a flow cytometer that can self-calibrate in an absolute way that can reach the sensitivity for quantification and enumeration of a single and small number of biological markers per a biological entity. The cytometer uses a photon-number resolving detector (or a

WATER HEATING SYSTEM WITH LEGIONELLA CONTROL

NIST Inventors
David A. Yashar
patent description Legionella pneumophila is an opportunistic pathogen in premise plumbing systems (OPPPs) that is responsible for Legionnaires' Disease, which is a form of pneumonia with a 10% mortality rate. According to the Center for Disease Control, there are more than 6000 confirmed cases of

METHODS FOR ELECTRICALLY CHARGING NANOCRYSTALS AT VERY LARGE AREAS

NIST Inventors
Babak Nikoobakht
patent description Our previous invention described how individual nanowires can be fabricated in-plane of a surface with controlled orientation and location. The current invention describes how such nanocrystals can be electrically powered up. This invention teaches how uniform interfaces can be

SYNCHRONIZER AND SYNCHRONIZING TRANSFER OVER AN OPTICAL LINK

NIST Inventors
Laura Sinclair , Nathan R Newbury , William C. Swann and JD Deschenes
patent description (1) Disclosed is a synchronizer for synchronizing transfer over an optical link, the synchronizer comprising: a frequency reference oscillator that produces a frequency reference signal; a tracking optical timing source in communication with the frequency reference oscillator and

Quantum Atomic Receiving Antenna and Quantum Sensing of Radiofrequency Radiation

NIST Inventors
Josh Gordon and Christopher L. Holloway
Patent Description The invention is a new type of receiving antenna that uses optically excited atoms confined to a vapor cell to sense the strength, direction, and polarization of incoming RF radiation over the frequency range of under 1 GHz to about 1 THz (heretofore this frequency range will be

ClpS BINDING REAGENT FOR PROTEIN SEQUENCING

NIST Inventors
Zvi Kelman and John P. Marino
patent description The invention is a protein-based N-terminal amino acid (NAA) detection reagent. There are three variations of the reagent that bind different N-terminal amino acids with varying affinity and selectivity. The full sequences of the proteins and the binding affinity for each amino

A Data Structure for Integrity Protection with Erasure Capability

NIST Inventors
D. Richard Kuhn
patent description This invention is a data structure, which can be referred to as a block matrix, that supports the ongoing addition of hash-linked records while also allowing the deletion of arbitrary records, preserving hash-based integrity assurance that other blocks are unchanged. The block

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMAL DYNAMIC SPECTRUM ACCESS IN LTE SYSTEMS

NIST Inventors
Anirudha Sahoo and Timothy A. Hall
patent description Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems do not share their idle Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) with other users. This is a waste of scarce spectrum resources. When the idle PRBs of LTE system are used by a Secondary User (SU), then the LTE spectrum utilization goes up. Thus, this
