ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,347,940, issued on July 1, was assigned to Carleton University (Ottawa).

"Independent control of the magnitude and phase of a reflected electromagnetic wave through coupled resonators" was invented by Shulabh Gupta (Ottawa), Ahmed Zaki Ashoor (Ottawa) and Leandro Miguel Rufail (Ottawa).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods relating to independent control of a reflected EM (electromagnetic) wave's phase and magnitude. A reflective unit cell with independently controllable parameters allows for control of the magnitude and phase of the reflected wave. In some implementations, the unit cell uses coupled resonators, with each reso...
