Title: John R. Anderson and Micro-Emitter Technology
Introduction
John R. Anderson is an inventor associated with Tujunga, California, and the California Institute of Technology. His patent work concerns microfabricated emitter arrays for electrospray systems.
Latest Patents
Anderson is credited with 1 patent, titled “Micro-Emitters for Electrospray Systems.” The invention describes arrays of microfabricated emitters arranged on a silicon substrate. Each emitter has an elongated body and at least one tip, with emitter heights greater than 280 microns and a stated uniformity of plus or minus 10 microns.
The emitters can be arranged in an X-by-Y grid, with each dimension greater than zero. The design may use liquid-metal ion-source propellants such as gallium, indium, bismuth, or tin. A through-via in the substrate can provide a fluid pathway from a reservoir beneath the substrate to the emitter array above it.
Career Highlights
Anderson’s listed patent highlights work at the intersection of microfabrication and electrospray technology. The patent describes structural and fluid-delivery features intended to support arrays of emitters on a silicon substrate.
Collaborations
The patent information names Colleen M. Marrese-Reading and Nima Rouhi as coworkers. Anderson is associated with the California Institute of Technology.
Conclusion
John R. Anderson’s patent presents a microfabricated emitter-array design that combines uniform emitter structures with a substrate-based pathway for delivering propellant.
