Introduction
Robert Dale Conner is an accomplished inventor based in Oak Hills, CA (US). He holds a total of 12 patents that showcase his expertise in manufacturing and engineering. His innovative approaches have contributed significantly to various fields, particularly in the development of advanced manufacturing techniques.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is a method and apparatus for manufacturing and printing hollow spheres. This invention provides a machine designed for forming and printing hollow bodies from amorphous materials to create three-dimensional objects. The apparatus includes methods for determining the desired amount of impact deformation for the hollow spheres. This involves calculating specific characteristics of the hollow spheres and the amorphous material, deriving a target viscosity range, and adjusting the apparatus accordingly. The result is the formation of a plurality of hollow spheres with controlled deformation.
Another notable patent is a non-invasive method of affixing surface components to maritime equipment. This minimally invasive method utilizes an attachment apparatus for non-penetrating mechanical attachment of components to a target surface. The apparatus consists of a cartridge assembly and a mounting assembly. When actuated, the cartridge assembly causes first and second exothermic reactants to come into contact, resulting in an exothermic reaction. This reaction liquefies a bonding material, allowing it to flow around the mounting assembly and onto the target surface, creating a secure seal.
