US Patent Issued to Tohoku University on July 14 for "Method for calculating elastic modulus and device for calculating elastic modulus" (Japanese Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 -- United States Patent no. 12,680,967, issued on July 14, was assigned to Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan).

"Method for calculating elastic modulus and device for calculating elastic modulus" was invented by Wataru Yashiro (Sendai, Japan).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An elastic modulus of a viscoelastic body can be calculated with a high spatial resolution and in a relatively short measurement time. A projection image of an X-ray is detected with a detection unit by vibrating an object while maintaining a relative positional relationship between a first diffraction grating and a second diffraction grating. Then, an elastic modulus of the object is calculated based ...
