Latest Patents

One of her latest patents is the "Camouflage U.S. Marine Corps Utility Uniform: Pattern, Fabric, and Design." This innovative system introduces a disruptive camouflage pattern that can be utilized for both military and civilian purposes. The system employs specialized techniques for printing the camouflage pattern onto fabric, ensuring effectiveness in both the human visible light spectrum and the near-infrared range. The design relies on a macro pattern that results from repeating a micro pattern, utilizing at least four dyes to achieve a reflectance value that blends seamlessly with the surroundings. This approach allows the macro pattern to disrupt the subject's shape while the micro pattern incorporates sharp edge units that help the subject blend into its background. The system's lightness values and total pattern percentages are optimized to produce acceptable colors, setting a new standard compared to traditional four-color camouflage.

Another notable patent is the "Camouflage Pattern for Sheet Material and Uniforms," which further expands on her innovative work in camouflage technology.
