Filed:

Mar 13, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/388140

Inventors:

Paul H. Holloway - Gainesville FL, US
Mostafa Abboudi - Tangier, MA

Assignee:

University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. - Gainesville FL

International Classification:

C09K 1184

US Classification:

2523014S

Abstract:

The present invention provides new and useful methods for preparing rare-earth oxysulfide phosphors. Advantageously, in accordance with the methods of the subject invention, rare-earth oxysulfide phosphors can be prepared with lower reaction temperatures and fewer processing steps than methods currently in use. In a preferred embodiment, the process of the subject invention involves blending two different rare-earth nitrate salts and a sulfidizing agent. Then, the mixture is heated at relatively low temperatures until the rare-earth oxysulfide phosphor is produced.

Abstract:

A method of forming metal oxide powders includes the steps of solid state mixing of at least one metal nitrate salt, such as Fe(NO)or a combination of metal nitrate salts such as Zn(NO),6HO and Ga(NO), xHO, and at least one reducing organic acid, such as tartaric or citric acid. The mixture is heated to form a metal oxide powder, such as alpha-iron oxide (α-FeO) or a mixed metal powder such as zinc gallate phosphor (ZnGaO). A metal oxide precursor intermediate can be formed and then heated to form the metal oxide powder.

Abstract:

A phototherapy bandage capable of providing radiation to a localized area of a patient for accelerating wound healing and pain relief, photodynamic therapy, and for aesthetic applications. The phototherapy bandage may include a flexible light source that is continuous across the bandage for providing a selected light, such as a visible light, a near-infrared light, or other light, having substantially similar intensity across the bandage. The bandage may also be flexible and capable of being attached to a patient without interfering with the patient's daily routine. The phototherapy bandage may easily conform to the curves of a patient and may come in a variety of exterior shapes and sizes.

Abstract:

A system and method for identifying explosive or other target materials includes the steps of irradiating a first location and a second location spaced apart from the first location from a sample suspected of including explosives with ultraviolet, visible or infrared light, measuring reflected light emanated from the first sample location (R) and reflected light emanated from the second sample location (R), and calculating a normalized difference in reflectivity (ΔR/ ), wherein =(R+R)/2 is an average reflectivity. A differential reflection spectrum (DRS) is then generated for the sample where ΔR=R−Ris the difference of the reflectivities of the first and the second sample location. One or more explosives if present are identified in the sample based on comparing the DRS for said sample to at least one reference DRS.

International Classification:

A61F 13/00

US Classification:

602 41, 602 42

Abstract:

The subject invention pertains to a method, apparatus, and composition of matter for producing near-infrared (near-IR) radiation. The subject invention can incorporate a polymer and a metal-containing compound, wherein the metal-containing compound can incorporate a metal-ligand complex, wherein when the metal-ligand complex becomes excited, energy is transferred from the ligand to the metal, wherein, the energy transferred to the metal by sensitization is emitted as near-infrared radiation. In a specific embodiment, the subject invention relates to a composition of matter having a luminescent polymer and a metal containing compound where the metal containing compound incorporates a metal-ligand complex such that the absorption spectrum of the metal-ligand complex at least partially overlaps with the emission spectrum of the luminescent polymer. As the absorption spectrum of the metal-ligand complex at least partially overlaps with the emission spectrum of the luminescent polymer, when the luminescent polymer becomes electronically excited energy can be transferred from the luminescent polymer to the metal-ligand complex. At least a portion of the energy transferred from the luminescent polymer to the metal-ligand complex can then be emitted by the metal-ligand complex as near-infrared radiation.
