ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,460,973, issued on Nov. 4, was assigned to Arizona Board of Regents on Behalf of the University of Arizona (Tucson, Ariz.).

"Devices and methods for determining polarization characteristics from partial polarimetry" was invented by Meredith Kupinski (Tucson, Ariz.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods, devices and systems for estimating polarization characteristics of materials based on partial polarimetry are described. One example method for estimating polarization characteristics of a material includes illuminating the material with incident light, which can be unpolarized or have a particular polarization state. Two polarimetric meas...
