  • Hybrid additive manufacturing method
    Patent number: 10336056
    Abstract: A hybrid additive manufacturing method that allows for precise deposition of various photo curable resins without the use of a vat has been developed. This method utilizes thermoplastics for an exterior shell and structural support. This method of resin or epoxy deposition allows for stronger parts to be printed more rapidly through hybridization of two additive manufacturing methods. This hybrid nature greatly expands material compatibilities from strictly thermoplastics to thermoplastics and any photo curable resins. Furthermore, reinforcing materials or dopants can be incorporated into the part using the method and apparatus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 31, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 2, 2019
    Assignee: Colorado School of Mines
    Inventors: Ryan L. Hemphill, Kevyn C. Young, Maxwell T. Harris, Adam R. Short, Douglas L. Van Bossuyt
  • CHARGING UNIT FOR MOBILE DEVICE
    Publication number: 20180191181
    Abstract: An apparatus has a base with a first, second, and third electrical contact exposed on the base. A circuitry connected to the electrical contacts is configured to set a polarity of the first and second electrical contacts based on an identification signal received by the first and second electrical contacts.
