ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 5 -- United States Patent no. 12,241,777, issued on March 4, was assigned to RAM Photonics Industrial LLC (Webster, N.Y.).

"Techniques for laser beam sensing and profiling using temperature-sensitive structures" was invented by Per Adamson (Conesus, N.Y.), Mike Cinquino (Conesus, N.Y.), Joseph Lawson (Rochester, N.Y.) and Jordan Leidner (Brighton, N.Y.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for profiling a laser beam includes receiving the laser beam at a thermochromic interface of a detector. A temperature set point for the detector can be selected. The temperature set point can correspond to an equilibrium temperature at the thermochromic interface. The method can al...
