Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is for polyurethane light guides. This invention involves a light guide formed from an unclad flexible polyurethane fiber that produces significant side scattering over distances of up to several meters. The polyurethane fiber can take the form of a solid fiber or a tube and may include light scattering particles. Additionally, the fiber may feature a transparent flexible polyurethane UV resistant outer cladding. Notable applications of this technology include illuminated shoelaces, a power cord safety indicator, an illuminated dental suction tube, and a dental curing tip. Another significant patent is for side-scattering light guides, which consist of a core made from transparent optically homogenous material seeded with diffuser particles. This design includes an optically transmitting sheath with a lower refractive index than the core, preventing light from escaping through the core's sides. The diffuser particles are strategically distributed to scatter light, ensuring that some of the scattered light exits the sides of the core, with a diffusing jacket arranged to intercept this light.
