Publication number: 20240157636Abstract: A system is disclosed for additively manufacturing an object. The system may include a support, and a print head operatively connected to and moveable by the support. The print head may include a first module configured to discharge a material, a second module configured to compact the material, and an actuator connected to the second module and configured to apply a force to the second module. The system may further include a controller in communication with the actuator. The controller may be configured to determine an operating parameter of the print head, and to selectively adjust the force applied by the actuator to the second module based on the operating parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: Continuous Composites Inc.Inventors: Nathan Andrew STRANBERG, Andrew John Overby, Stephen Tyler Wilson, Christopher Lee Jones, Michael John Milbourne

Patent number: 11964174Abstract: A mounting device may include a top plate including a cone-shaped center portion, a flange coupled to the cone-shaped center portion, a number of apertures defined in the flange, and a number of fasteners engaged with the apertures to couple the top plate to a surface of a structure. The flange seals a bottom side of the top plate to the surface of the structure. The flange includes a seal coupled to the bottom of the flange. The cone-shaped center portion has a convex paraboloid shape. The flange includes at least one surface that is parallel to a surface of the structure, and a transition between the cone-shaped center portion and the flange forms an angle. The top plate has a diameter sufficient to displace a load greater than 50 pounds over the surface of the structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Rooftop Anchor, Inc.Inventors: Nathan Colton Sargent, Rowdy Hans DeJong, Braxton Tyler Schindler, Kynan Dee Wynne, John David Whittington, Reese James Ferrin, Joshua Paul Adam

Publication number: 20110204093Abstract: A wine dispensing device for dispensing multiple portions of wine over a period of time while also providing preservation of the wine bouquet and taste character. The device couples to a wine bottle to allow wine to be dispensed through displacement with an inert gas. The device provides preservation of wine over multiple dispenses and over an extended period of time. In some embodiments the device dispenses wine without necessitating removal of the cork and can include an inert gas purge procedure to reduce wine exposure to atmospheric air thereby improving the quality and length of wine preservation that is possible.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2011Publication date: August 25, 2011Inventor: Nathan Tyler Lee
