  • Publication number: 20240110070
    Abstract: A photoresin formulation for volumetric additive manufacturing contains a photo-curable mixture of: a monomer (e.g., an acrylate-based monomer); a photoinitiator; a polymerization inhibitor (e.g., molecular oxygen (O2)); and, a reducing agent reactive with a free radical species (e.g., a peroxyl radical) formed from the polymerization inhibitor. The reducing agent permits faster printing of objects from the photoresin formulation in a volumetric additive manufacturing process to produce 3D objects of high fidelity.

  • Publication number: 20220002967
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a dirt screening bucket attachment device for use with an existing bucket of a skid steer, or other similar type of earth-moving machinery. More specifically, the device can be readily attached/detached to the existing bucket of the skid steer to allow a user to quickly and efficiently screen dirt, topsoil and other materials for rocks, roots and other unwanted debris by moving and articulating the bucket of the skid steer with the attachment attached thereto and in an engaged position. In addition, the attachment device may be easily articulated from a position that covers said bucket to a position above said bucket (i.e., thereby leaving the bucket opening exposed) via a hydraulic system that allows a user to utilize the full functionality of the bucket without interference from the bucket attachment device.

  • Patent number: 9027503
    Abstract: A multi-purpose reflective collar for attachment to a fire hydrant that increases the visibility of the hydrant to motorists and others, and that indicates the hydrant's flow rate, water source and pressure rating to firefighters and other first responders through the use of color coded reflective tape webs that can be removably attached to the collar. The multi-purpose reflective collar of the present invention is adjustable to accommodate fire hydrants of different shapes and sizes, and is useful in increasing safety and the efficiency of firefighting procedures.
