Patents by Inventor CHAO-YAUG LIAO

CHAO-YAUG LIAO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12097659
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an exchangeable additive manufacturing machine system. The system includes a manufacturing spindle; a thermal conducting module configured to include a working well in a center portion, wherein the manufacturing spindle is configured to rotate in the working well and the manufacturing spindle and the working well defines a manufacturing area; and an air curtain isolation mechanism module, configured to attach on a peripheral region in proximity to the thermal conducting module to actively generate an airflow across the working well and the manufacturing area to isolate the manufacturing area from an external environment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 2022
    Date of Patent: September 24, 2024
    Assignee: National Central University
    Inventors: Chao-Yaug Liao, Bo-Ren Chen
  • Patent number: 11911963
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an exchangeable additive manufacturing machine system. The system includes a manufacturing spindle; a thermal conducting module configured to include a working well in a center portion, wherein the manufacturing spindle is configured to rotate in the working well and the manufacturing spindle and the working well defines a manufacturing region; and a capillary based functional liquid releasing module configured on the thermal conducting module to release a functional liquid to one of a first gap, a second gap and a third gap included between the thermal conducting module and the manufacturing platform.

  • Patent number: 10414088
    Abstract: A platform structure for manufacturing a scaffold for use in tissue engineering, comprising a frame; a ring-shaped thermally conductive member fixedly disposed in the frame; a thermally conductive platform centrally movably disposed in the ring-shaped thermally conductive member and having edges in direct contact with inner walls of the ring-shaped thermally conductive member, wherein the thermally conductive platform and the ring-shaped thermally conductive member together define a space of a variable depth; a vertically movable mechanism connected to a bottom of the thermally conductive platform and adapted to drive the thermally conductive platform to sink and thus increase gradually the depth of the space; and a low temperature generating mechanism connected to the ring-shaped thermally conductive member and the thermally conductive platform to cool down the ring-shaped thermally conductive member and the thermally conductive platform, to prevent deformation and ensure uniform dimensions of tall scaffolds
