Patent №:  12282170 – Augmented and virtual reality display systems with correlated in-coupling and out-coupling optical regions for efficient light utilization.

AR/VR systems use waveguides with in-coupling and out-coupling regions to efficiently project light into the user’s eye. Each in-coupling region may uniquely correspond to an out-coupling region to display clear virtual images.

Mario Rosario Carlone, Jr

Worked at Pioneer Hi-Bred International.

Patent №: 12279580 – Maize hybrid X08V879. A novel maize variety, X08V879, along with its seeds, plants, and parts, is disclosed. It is produced by crossing inbred maize lines. Methods for breeding, modifying, and using X08V879, including trait introgression and genetic transformation, are also described.

Patent №: 12279578 – Maize hybrid X08V905. A novel maize variety, X08V905, and its seeds, plants, and parts are disclosed. Developed by crossing inbred maize lines, X08V905 can be used in breeding, backcrossing, or genetic transformation to introduce traits.

Tsung-Han Tsai

Product Technology Quality Reliability at TSMC.

Patent №: 12284732 – Electronic device.

An electronic device includes a light conversion element in a partition opening above an electroluminescence element. An intermediate layer covers both and is thicker above the light conversion element than the partition.

Mahmoud Yousef Ghannam

Technical Expert – Research and Advanced Engineering at Ford Motor Company. Adjunct Professor – UDM and YIT.

Ghannam earned his bachelor’s, master’s, and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Detroit, Michigan, and also holds a master’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Patent №:  12283114 – Vehicle lane boundary detection.

A system determines lane information using forward-facing camera data. It detects visible lane boundaries, predicts lane edges from road features, and defines the vehicle’s driving path accordingly.

Meng-Han Lin

Meng-Han received his B.S. degree in physics in 2004 from the National Central University, Taoyuan, Taiwan, and a M.S. degree in electronics engineering in 2006 from the National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, where he is currently working toward a Ph.D. degree in the Institute of Electronics.

Patent №:  12284810 – Memory device and manufacturing method thereof. A memory device includes a word line with low-k liner layers on its sidewalls, separated by a memory layer. A channel layer and dielectric layer are formed on the memory layer, with source and bit lines on opposite sides, running perpendicular to the word line.
