Michael A. Cisewski 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).

  • Publication number: 20160039659
    Abstract: Systems are described for delivery of a wide variety of materials in which liquid and gas or vapor states are concurrently present, from a package preferably including a fluid-containing collapsible liner. Headspace gas is removed from a pressure dispensing package prior to liquid dispensation therefrom, and ingress gas is removed thereafter during dispensation operation. At least one sensor senses presence of gas or a gas-liquid interface in a reservoir or gas-liquid separation region. A gas removal system including an integral reservoir, at least one sensor, and at least one flow control elements may be included within a connector adapted to mate with a pressure dispensing package, for highly efficient removal of gas from the liquid being dispensed from the container.

  • Publication number: 20130001245
    Abstract: To avoid problems associated with choke-off of a collapsible liner (e.g., disposed within a rigid overpack) during pressure dispensing of fluid therefrom, a pressure dispense package includes a choke prevention element comprising any of a perforated flange within the liner, a channel-defining flange within the liner, a film defining at least one liquid channel along an inner surface of the liner, a radial stiffening element coupled to the liner, an orifice-defining hollow internal support disposed within the liner, one or more magnetic and complementary magnetically responsive elements associated with the liner and surrounding container, or differential collapse characteristics between liner panels. Methods for preventing choke-off of a collapsible liner adapted for pressure dispensing are also provided.
