Bradley, Clerk Plaintiffs, § § 1Jcrsus § Civil Action H-I2-r8II § § Petroleum Analyzer Company, L.P., § § Defendant. § Findings and Conclusions 1. Background. Franek Olstowski worked for Petroleum Analyzer Company, L.P., before becoming president and part-owner of ATOM Instrument Corporation. ATOM and Petroleum develop, manufacture, and repair instruments for chemical analysis of hydrocarbons. In 2002, while working as a consultant for Petroleum, Olstowski developed an excimer light source to detect sulfur using ultraviolet fluorescence. He did this separately from his work at Petroleum. In 2003 and 2005, under a non-disclosure agreement, Petroleum and he talked about licensing his technology but did not reach an agreement. Olstowski was awarded a patent in 2007. Excimer is short for excited dimer. It is a combination of a noble gas and a reactive gas that produces ultraviolet light when excited by electricity. Possible combinations include krypton and chloride, xenon and chloride, and xenon and bromine. An excimer detects, in this case, sulfur by making it glow. like an excimer, :z;inc or cadmium can be used as a source of ultraviolet light. In 2006, Petroleum sued ATOM and Olstowski in Texas state court, claiming ownership of the excimer technology. In their contract, Olstowski and Petroleum had agreed to arbitrate, so the court sent them to do that. The arbitration panel awarded Olstowski ownership of all the technology.

HOME Products Information Products Excimer lamps/Excimer irradiation unit Excimer lamps/Excimer irradiation unit Modification Cleaning MEMS, Electronic Semiconductors Components Liquid Crystal Display Printed Circuit Board and Functional Materials Biology and Chemistry PKG Energy Printing Excimer VUV light is the very high-energy light generated by lamps containing noble gases or noble-gas hydride compounds. Externally applying high-energy electrons to a sealed lamp containing a noble gas or noble gas hydride compound generates intense plasma discharge (dielectric barrier discharge). This plasma features high-energy electron content, and can be extinguished instantly. The plasma discharge instantly excites the atoms of the discharge gas (noble gas) to their excimer (Xe) state (high- energy orbital atoms form excimer excited molecules). The excimer-specific spectrum is emitted when atoms return from this excimer state to their original condition (ground state). This emission is called VUV light.

Edward Neister (“Mr. Neister”) (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), allege as follows: INTRODUCTION 1. More than fifteen years ago, physicist S. Edward Neister developed and patented methods for deactivating or destroying harmful microorganisms using a new spectrum of ultraviolet (UV) light. Mr. Neister’s methods included the development and use of Krypton-Chloride excimer lamps that emit a peak wavelength at 222 nm in conjunction with other wavelengths. Unlike the 254 nm UV light—which had been used for decades for sanitization but was dangerous to humans—applying 222 nm UV light does not penetrate human skin or eyes, making it far better and more useful than traditional lamps and methods of use. 2. Mr. Neister’s patented technology became the foundation for the family business. Mr. Neister and his brother John Neister originally founded the company Case 3:21-cv-01166-X Document 1 Filed 05/21/21 Page 2 of 38 PageID 2 that would become HEO3 in 2005 in a small town in New Hampshire.

Images are produced from the best available original document ABSTRACT Radiation characteristics and discharge performances of an excimer lamp are described. The discharge of the HCl/Xe gas mixture at an atmospheric pres­ sure, occurring near the quartz tube wall, is initiated by a trigger wire. A maximum total UV energy of about 0.4 J in a (0.8-0.9) ps pulse, radiated from a 10 cm discharge length, is obtained with a total discharge input energy of 8 J. Excimer lamps are the preferred choice for medical and material processing ir­ radiations, when the monochromaticity orcoherence of U V light is not required, due to their low cost, reliability and easy mantainance. (DISCHARGE UV LAMP). RIASSUNTO In questo iavoro vengono illustrate le caratteristiche di eccitazione e di emissione radiativa di ima lampada ad eccimeri. La scarica di eccitazione e innescata da un filo ad alia lensione e si sviluppa vicino alia parete del tubo di quarzo in una miscela di gas HCl/Xe a pressione atmosferica. Con un’energsa d; 8 J depositata dalla scarica in una lampada lunga 10 cm, si ottiene un’cnergia massima irraggiata nell’ultravioletto di 0.4 J in un impulse di 0.8-0.9 ps di durata.

Selective and rapid dissociation of CS2 into C-C, C-S or C-O-S based fragments was observed in the different gas environments during the reaction. Thin-layered polymeric microdeposites have been identified by characterization with a Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This novel photo-process from the flat VUV microplasma lamp introduces another pathway of low-temperature organic (or synthetic) conversion for large area deposition. The in-situ, selective conversion of various organic precursors can be potentially used in optoelectronics and nanotechnology applications. Citation: Kim, J.; Park, S.-J.
