Publication number: 20240068130Abstract: An object is built by depositing a mat on a build surface and utilizing a manufacturing process to position a structure over at least a portion of the mat to define an object. The object is removed from the build surface such that a first portion of the mat removed with the object is bonded to the structure, and a second portion of the mat removed with the object is unsupported by the structure. Alternatively, an object can be built by printing a conductive material over a surface to define a structure and utilizing the conductive material as a collector to control an electric field deposition over the structure to define an object where a first portion of the deposition is bonded to the structure and a second portion of the deposition is unsupported by the structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventor: Russell Kirk Pirlo

Publication number: 20170158999Abstract: An apparatus having: an enclosure having a base and a top and a plate. The base and the top each have an interior surface which together define the interior of the enclosure. The base and the top each have an inlet fluid channel and an outlet fluid channel from the interior of the enclosure to the exterior of the enclosure. The plate is in the interior of the enclosure and has a frame having an opening, a gasket, and a biopaper spanning the opening. The plate divides the interior of the enclosure into two cavities. A portion of the biopaper is not touching the frame, the gasket, or the interior surfaces. The biopaper is fluid communication with the fluid channels.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2016Publication date: June 8, 2017Applicant: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Russell Kirk Pirlo, Peter K.
