Publication number: 20240139820Abstract: The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing systems, apparatuses, software, and methods for the production of at least one requested 3D object. The 3D printer includes a material conveyance system, filtering system, and/or an unpacking station. The material conveyance system may transport pre-transformed material (e.g., powder) against gravity. The 3D printing described herein facilitated reducing interruptions of (e.g., providing non interrupted) (ii) material recycling, and/or (i) material dispensing through a component of the 3D printer such as a layer dispenser. The material conveyance system may operate above ambient pressure, e.g., while performing a suction operation. The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing processes, apparatuses, software, and systems for controlling and/or treating gas and gas borne debris in an atmosphere of a 3D printer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Joseph Andrew TRALONGO, Benyamin BULLER, Michael Christopher ST DENNIS, Stephan ANDREWS, Thomas BREZOCZKY, Yacov ELGAR, Richard ROMANO, Darin BIRTWHISTLE, James FRECHMAN, Alan Rick LAPPEN

Publication number: 20240092015Abstract: The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing processes, apparatuses, software, and systems for the production of at least one desired 3D object. The 3D printer system (e.g., comprising a processing chamber, build module, or an unpacking station) described herein may retain a desired (e.g., inert) atmosphere around the material bed and/or 3D object at multiple 3D printing stages. The 3D printer described herein comprises one or more build modules that may have a controller separate from the controller of the processing chamber. The 3D printer described herein comprises a platform that may be automatically constructed. The invention(s) described herein may allow the 3D printing process to occur for a long time without operator intervention and/or down time.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Benyamin Buller, Zachary Ryan Murphree, Richard Joseph Romano, Thomas Blasius Brezoczky, Alan Rick Lappen, Robert Michael Martinson

Publication number: 20230210205Abstract: A jersey for management of perspiration having a perspiration absorption towel. The perspiration absorption towel is removably or permanently affixed along the front interior of the collar of the jersey. The perspiration absorption towel has a collar-region width less than the collar width by an amount which optimizes access to and removability of the perspiration absorption towel. The perspiration absorption towel has a length which relative to the collar-region width which balances usefulness and ease of return to the non-use position of the perspiration absorption towel. Alternatively, the perspiration absorption towel is removably or permanently affixed along the front exterior of the collar of the jersey at its top end and near the bottom hem of the jersey at its bottom end. The perspiration absorption towel has either side indents or a bottom indent to facilitate grasping of the bottom of the perspiration absorption towel for the purpose of detaching its bottom end from the jersey.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2022Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventor: Richard Ricks

Publication number: 20180184723Abstract: An upper body athletic garment is disclosed with a built-in piece of material that is absorbent on one side and moisture wicking on the other side that acts as a towel allowing the wearer to wipe away perspiration during an athletic or other strenuous activity without needing to stop and locate a towel or cloth. The piece of material is typically attached to the inside of the garment connected at the neck and running all or most of the length of the garment across the chest with the moisture wicking side in contact with the skin to provide passive moisture control. The piece of material can be shaped, located, and fastened in multiple ways and can be duplicated in some versions and run along the sides of the garment. The piece of material can also be fastened and hang either wholly or partially to the outside of the garment and can be attached by means of fasteners, adhesives, or other means or may be stitched or otherwise permanently connected to the garment at the neck.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2017Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventor: Richard Ricks
