Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Two-phase electroextraction from moving phases." This invention relates to a process for the electro extraction of molecules from a moving fluid donor phase into an acceptor phase. The process involves providing an electrically conductive donor phase moving at a first flow velocity and in electrically conductive contact with a first electrode. Additionally, it includes an electrically conductive acceptor phase in direct contact and immiscible with the donor phase, in electrically conductive contact with a second electrode. A supporting or confining phase guide pattern is also provided to maintain a defined interface between the donor and acceptor phases, along with the application of an electrical field between the first and second electrodes.

Another significant patent is the "Method and device for receiving a droplet." This invention describes a droplet receiver that comprises a receptacle for receiving a droplet, along with a fluid conduit connected at a first end to the droplet receptacle. This setup allows the droplet received in the receptacle to move through the conduit, which is in communication with a reservoir. The internal walls of the receptacle and conduit are designed to
