Publication number: 20240278486Abstract: A three-dimensional object comprises stacked substrate layers infiltrated by a hardened material comprising engineered powder that is transformed into a substance that flows and subsequently hardens into the hardened material in a spatial pattern that infiltrates positive regions, and does not infiltrate negative regions, in the substrate layers. The powder may be emulsion aggregation powder, chemically-produced toner powder, or a combination. It may be a thermoplastic or thermosettable polymer and may include nylon, elastomers, polyolefins, polyethylene, polyether ether ketone, polyimide, polyetherimide, polyphenylene sulfide, polystyrene, polypropylene, polymethyl methacrylate, and polyaryletherketone, or a combination. The powder particles may have a pre-specified controlled shape and/or a non-homogenous composition. Surface treatments and/or additives may be used to control powder flow and charge distribution. Each substrate layer may be a sheet-like structure comprising fibers held together by binder.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2024Publication date: August 22, 2024Applicant: IMPOSSIBLE OBJECTS, INC.Inventors: Robert Swartz, Eugene Gore, Buckley Crist, Michael Vasquez, John Bayldon

Publication number: 20230339174Abstract: A three-dimensional object comprises stacked substrate layers infiltrated by a hardened material. Each substrate layer is a sheet-like structure that comprises fibers held together by a sodium silicate binder. The substrate layer material may be non-woven or woven. The substrate layer may be a non-woven fiber veil bound by a sodium silicate binder. The fibers may optionally include carbon fibers, ceramic fibers, polymer fibers, glass fibers, metal fibers, or a combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: Impossible Objects, Inc.Inventors: Robert Swartz, Eugene Gore, Buckley Crist, Michael Vasquez, John Bayldon

Publication number: 20110126842Abstract: A compacted sexual-transmitted-disease controller brief which encases the lower abdomen, pelvic region (including genitalia and anus) and upper thigh regions of a user. The compacted controller brief is comprised of a waist enclosure, a pelvic enclosure, left and right upper thigh enclosures and a condom enclosure that are each compacted and a folding arrangement that compacts each of the compacted enclosures. The compacted brief is suitable for a user to slide onto the user's pelvis region and to unravel and unfurl so as to extend about the users waist region, upper thighs and erect penis.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2010Publication date: June 2, 2011Inventor: Michael Vasquez

Publication number: 20040129074Abstract: A sensor capable of operating in ambient temperatures that are either above or below operating systems specification. comprises a transducer adapted to be coupled to a power supply for generating signals corresponding to and representative of the status of the targeted system. Signal conditioning means are coupled to the transducer and are responsive to generated signals. The signal conditioning means produces status signals in a format that is compatible with an information utilization device. A thermo electric module is attached to the signal conditioning means for changing the temperature of the signal conditioning means. In an alternative embodiment, the thermo electric module is connected to control the environment in which the signal conditioning means operate. The signal conditioning means are then able to operate in ambient temperatures that are outside of the normal operating parameters to which the to which the signal conditioning means were originally designed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2003Publication date: July 8, 2004Inventors: Paul Rudewicz, Michael Vasquez
