Patent number: 10766193Abstract: A three dimensional printing system includes a resin vessel, a light engine, and a fluid spill containment vessel. The resin vessel is for containing resin and has a transparent sheet on a lower side that provides a lower bound for the resin. The light engine is disposed below the resin vessel for projecting pixelated light up through the transparent sheet. The fluid spill containment vessel is disposed between the resin vessel and the light engine to capture resin that spills from the resin vessel. The fluid spill containment vessel includes a housing for containing the spilled resin, a transparent window for allowing the pixelated light to project up through the fluid spill containment vessel and to the transparent sheet, and a fluid barrier wall surrounding at least part of the clear window and configured to reduce an amount of spilled resin required to occlude the pixelated light.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: 3D Systems, Inc.Inventors: John Michael Harris, Christopher Tanner

Publication number: 20170183615Abstract: A growth module for growing biomass comprising a plurality of growth columns connected together. Each growth column comprises a vertically oriented, hollow, translucent tubular body having input lines for introducing air, gas and nutrients into each column through the top thereof. The growth columns are frictionally mounted upon a bottom manifold that is configured for receiving gravity induced flow of biomass from said plurality of growth columns.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2017Publication date: June 29, 2017Applicant: ALGETERNAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Milton Hugh Morris, Katon Hughes Deal Morris, John Michael Harris, Michael Donavan Jochum

Patent number: 9534197Abstract: The present invention is a system for optimizing production of biomass. The system contains one or more growth modules under a shading element that diffuses light. Each of the growth modules has a plurality of vertical growth columns arranged on a bottom manifold. The biomass is grown within a liquid growth medium held within each of the vertical growth columns until it reaches a desired growth. The biomass is then harvested through gravitational flow of the biomass and the liquid growth medium out of the bottom of each growth column. The bottom manifold collects gravitational flow of the biomass and liquid growth media from each growth column and aggregates the output of each individual column into a collective output of the growth module.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2010Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: ALGETERNAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Milton Hugh Morris, Katon Hughes Deal Morris, John Michael Harris, Michael Donavan Jochum, Jr.

Patent number: 7717607Abstract: A portable computing device, including a keyboard illumination device and system may include a light emitter housing incorporated into the hinge element of a portable computing device. The light emitter housing may include an aperture and a light emitter and may be configured to illuminate a keyboard while keeping the source of the emitted light hidden from the user and others who may be in the vicinity of the portable computing device. The light emitter, which illuminates the keyboard, may be driven by a different light source than the light source that illuminates a display panel of the portable computing device. It follows that the brightness of the light emitter may be adjusted without having any effect on the brightness of the display panel.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2007Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: General Dynamics Itronix CorporationInventors: John Michael Harris, Bryan McKeirnan
