Patents by Inventor Joseph S. Miskovich

Joseph S. Miskovich 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: 10597861
    Abstract: A modular fluid retention system and method for exemplary uses collecting and temporarily retaining fluids, for example stormwater run-off. One example of the system includes a plurality of modular retaining units which are selectively connected together to form an interior chamber volume for collecting stormwater run-off directed into the chamber volume. A plurality of modular trays are engaged with portions of the respective retention units to prevent relative movement of the retention units and eliminate, or substantially reduce, the need for porous material to be installed in and around the retention units greatly increasing the excavation void space usable for water collection and retention. In an alternate application, only a plurality of modular trays are used as the vertical support and fluid retention volume structure for the fluid retention system.

  • Patent number: 9739046
    Abstract: A modular storm water retention system and method for exemplary uses collecting and temporarily retaining storm water run-off. The system includes a plurality of modular retaining units which are selectively connected together to form an interior chamber volume for collecting storm water run-off directed into the chamber volume. A plurality of modular trays are engaged with the top portions of the respective retention units to prevent relative movement of the retention units and eliminate, or substantially reduce, the need for porous material to be installed in and around the retention units greatly increasing the excavation void space usable for water collection and retention. The trays further support the backfill material and prevent passage of the backfill material into the void space below the trays.

  • Patent number: 9371938
    Abstract: A modular conduit unit system and method for exemplary uses in routing utility lines and storage management of fluids. The modular conduit units may include independent dome-shaped structures including four orthogonally oriented openings and internal chambers. On connection of many conduit units, multiple passageways are created for routing utility lines through the modular structure. Closure panels may be selectively installed to close off the conduit units and passageways for underground storage of fluids or other materials. The modular units are capable of being encased by materials including concrete for underground and concrete floors and walls of commercial buildings.

  • Patent number: 7628566
    Abstract: A water collection and storage assembly for dispersion of water comprises a half pipe assembly comprising at least one half pipe having an inlet, an outlet, a top, a bottom, a corrugated exterior comprising alternating ribs and valleys, and at least one side port positioned above the bottom of the half pipe, and a sleeve positioned in an installed position within the half pipe and defining a smooth interior, wherein the sleeve extends from the bottom of the half pipe to a height less than the at least one side port. The half pipe assembly can define a chamber and the sleeve has a dimple which extends into the chamber. The sleeve can have an opening which allows projections of the port hole to extend through the opening and into the chamber.
