  • Publication number: 20230391130
    Abstract: A vented output device for uniformly mixed liquid comprising a barrel defining a reservoir for containing the uniformly mixed liquid, and at least one vent channel extending from a first vent opening in fluid flow communication with an exterior of the device and second vent opening in fluid flow communication with the reservoir. A binary ink storage assembly includes multiple glass ampoules arranged in pairs, which are placed inside the barrel in parallel.

  • Patent number: 9493627
    Abstract: The present invention relates to moldable sand compositions, methods for making the moldable sand compositions, and methods for using the moldable sand compositions. In a particular embodiment, the moldable sand composition comprises between about 70% to about 95% sand, between about 5% to about 30% water, a polar polymeric resin, a crosslinking agent, and a humectant. In an exemplary embodiment, the composition contains no oils, waxes, glycols, or rubbers. The composition is capable of becoming hardened over time in order to maintain the achieved shape, and can be re-wetted and molded again after becoming hardened.
