Publication number: 20240149524Abstract: A dynamic manufacturing system such as for the additive manufacture of a fabrication item with multiformative capabilities presents a processor (29) that can refine movement, instructions, or data to achieve greater manufacturing efficiency and substantially uninterruptive change between formative process elements (24) or capabilities with simple user input (28) or indications. Optimization of movements, deposition of material, positioning, variant repositioning for next item layers during fabrication are provided in manners where the functions can be self contained such as in a 3D printer or the like and can be accomplished without significant interruptions to traditional processing times or even in shorter times through the improved transformations.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Eric Griffin, Charles Buckley

Publication number: 20240090765Abstract: In certain embodiments, a system generates image data for an image of the interior of an eye. The system includes a camera apparatus and patient interface. The camera apparatus includes a camera stem, sensor, processor, and communication interface. The camera stem has illuminators that emits light and an objective lens system that receives light. The sensor generates a signal in response to detecting light received by the objective lens system. The processor generates image data from the signal, and the communication interface outputs the image data. The patient interface includes a contact portion and a sleeve. The contact portion is shaped to conform to an anterior eye surface of the eye. The sleeve is shaped to receive the camera stem. The sleeve directs light from the illuminators towards the eye interior, and directs light reflected from the eye interior towards the camera apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Alan Andrew Norman, Michael Griffin Hunt, Eric Alan Packwood

Publication number: 20240096489Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method for analyzing a retinal image of an eye for retinal disease includes conforming a contact portion of a patient interface to the surface of the eye. A camera stem is received by a sleeve of the patient interface. Light from the camera stem is directed by the sleeve towards the interior of the eye, and light reflected from the interior of the eye is directed by the sleeve towards the camera. Image data generated by the camera is output to a computer. Options representing actions that facilitate analysis of the retinal image are displayed at the computer. The retinal image is displayed at the computer according to the image data. A selection of an option is received by the computer. The action represented by the option is performed by the computer to facilitate analysis of the retinal image.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Alan Andrew Norman, Michael Griffin Hunt, Eric Alan Packwood

Publication number: 20210069834Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed for producing a screen protector. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a multi-layered sheet into a cutting device, the cutting device configured to provide different cut types. A characteristic of the sheet received into the cutting device is determined. Based thereon, a cut type is determined. The sheet is cut according to the determined cut type to form the screen protector. Further, a charge for the cutting of the sheet is determined based on the cut type.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Dennis O'Donnell, Eric Griffin-Shelley

Patent number: 10716288Abstract: An enrichment device for dispensing edible food products to an animal, and including the capability to provide the animals meal with said device. The device includes a body, an upper surface which preferably is removable from the body, a cavity, at least one passageway in the upper surface, the passageway communicating with the cavity to allow food to pass from the upper surface into the cavity. The body has a wall forming the cavity, and the wall has one or more openings therein to allow for food to pass from the cavity outside of the device where it may be consumed by the animal. The device bottom is configured to provide a rocking motion when the device is disrupted.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2016Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: CURIO HOLDING COMPANYInventors: Dennis P. O'Donnell, Eric Griffin, Keith Hatton, John Combs, Kurt Swanson, Devin Sidell

Publication number: 20200070423Abstract: A dynamic manufacturing system such as for the additive manufacture of a fabrication item with multiformative capabilities presents a processor (29) that can refine movement, instructions, or data to achieve greater manufacturing efficiency and substantially uninterruptive change between formative process elements (24) or capabilities with simple user input (28) or indications. Optimization of movements, deposition of material, positioning, variant repositioning for next item layers during fabrication are provided in manners where the functions can be self contained such as in a 3D printer or the like and can be accomplished without significant interruptions to traditional processing times or even in shorter times through the improved transformations.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2019Publication date: March 5, 2020Inventors: Eric Griffin, Charles Buckley

Patent number: 9764890Abstract: A liquid spray dispensing system has a liquid container receivable within a housing, provided in separable housing portions. The liquid container has at least one flexible side or end wall or a slidable end wall, movable by an actuator, to reduce the volume of a liquid storage compartment containing the liquid to be dispensed through a spray nozzle unit operably connected to the liquid storage compartment. By operating the spray nozzle unit, or a switch operably connected to a spray actuator of the spray nozzle unit, the actuator moves the flexible or slidable wall to reduce the volume of the liquid storage compartment, and thereby cause the pressurized liquid to be dispensed through the spray nozzle unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: VEGA INNOVATIONS PTY LTDInventors: Benjamin Cyril Gillespie, David Eric Griffin
