Patent number: 11964129Abstract: In various embodiments, a drug pump includes a housing and, within the housing, an expandable drug reservoir at least part of which is exposed to a pressurized propellant. The propellant exerts a substantially constant pressure on the drug reservoir. A flow restrictor significantly limits outflow from the pump, and preferably has both a small diameter and a long path length, which acts to control the outflow from the drug reservoir. As a result, the pump produces a substantially constant outflow.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: MiniPumps LLCInventors: Jason Shih, Gregory Harbers, Richard Purvis, Miho Matsuoka, Andrew Urazaki, Mark Humayun, William Andrew Brandt, Atoosa Lotfi, Didier Sagan, Andrew Dunn

Patent number: 10759089Abstract: Recycling devices for producing additive manufacturing filament from received materials including objects to be recycled, discarded objects, obsolete objects, and the like. A recycling device may include a material processing system an extrusion mechanism and a spooling assembly. The material processing system receives material, reduces the size of the received material via a material size reducer and actively pushes the material through at least a portion of the device. The extrusion mechanism produces filament from the material and the spooling assembly loads the filament onto a spool for later use. The spooling assembly may include detachable elements configured to interface with and supply filament to an additive manufacturing device. Depending on configuration, recycling devices may create filament from plastic, metal, in-situ material, or a combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: MADE IN SPACE, INC.Inventors: Michael Snyder, Jason Dunn, Aaron Kemmer, Eddie Gonzalez
