Title: Stephen L. Farias: Advancing Particle Separation Technology
Introduction
Stephen L. Farias is an inventor based in Baltimore, Maryland, associated with Johns Hopkins University. His work includes an invention designed to separate metallic and nonmetallic particles from a mixed-particle suspension using dielectrophoresis.
Latest Patents
Farias is named on 1 patent, titled “Systems and Methods for Separating Metallic and Nonmetallic Particles in a Mixed-Particle Suspension.” The invention describes a continuous-flow system with a fluid channel that divides into two output channels. Electrodes positioned near the input channel create a spatially graded electric field when supplied with alternating current. Differences in the dielectrophoretic forces acting on metallic and nonmetallic particles guide them toward separate outputs, producing flows enriched in each particle type.
Career Highlights
Farias’s patent reflects an application of electrical-field-based separation to particle processing. The system’s continuous-flow design and bifurcated channel arrangement are intended to separate particle types while they move through the device.
Collaborations
Farias is associated with Johns Hopkins University. His listed coworkers include Donglei Fan and Danru Qu.
Conclusion
Stephen L. Farias’s patented system applies dielectrophoresis to separate metallic and nonmetallic particles in a continuous-flow process, highlighting his contribution to particle-separation technology.
