Dynamic Illustration Generation System

Patent Number: US 9305466 Grant Date: 2016-04-05 Filing Date: 2012-12-17

Overview

This patented system integrates fluid mechanics, magnetic actuation, rotary drive hardware, and acoustic excitation to produce controllable, visually dynamic displays. Filed on December 17, 2012 and granted on April 5, 2016, the claims protect a tank-based assembly containing a non-Newtonian fluid, fluid and magnetic impellers driven by rotary drivers, movable ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic objects, speaker-driven acoustic stimulation, and external magnetic handles and control systems. Inventors based in Houston, TX developed an architecture that synchronizes impeller-driven flows with rotating magnets and timed sound inputs to generate repeatable, aesthetically rich patterns in the fluid medium.

The drafting emphasizes clear claim coverage of the interaction among fluid dynamics, adjustable magnetic paths, and speaker-induced stiffening of non-Newtonian media—elements that required careful claim coordination to preserve both functional breadth and enforceability. The resulting patent reflects strong technical depth and strategic prosecution to capture combinations of mechanical, fluidic, and audio control innovations.

Key Features

  • Tank assembly with base aperture for driven impellers
  • Non-Newtonian fluid medium responsive to acoustic waves
  • Fluid and magnetic impellers with rotary drive sources
  • Magnetic handles and magnetic impeller paths for object control
  • Integrated speaker and controller for synchronized effects

By protecting this multi-domain approach, the patent supports commercial and artistic applications in interactive displays, educational demonstrators, and advanced visualization systems, and underscores the firm’s capability to secure complex, multidisciplinary inventions.

Invention Details

Abstract: A dynamic illustration generation system is disclosed. Said dynamic illustration generation system comprises a tank, a fluid medium, a fluid impeller and a rotary drive source. Said tank having a four walls and a base portion. Said rotary drive source attached to said fluid impeller.

Background: BACKGROUND (1) This disclosure relates generally to a dynamic illustration generation system. None of the previously known inventions and/or patents, taken either singularly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant disclosure as claimed. Accordingly, an improved dynamic illustration generation system would be advantageous. SUMMARY (2) A dynamic illustration generation system is disclosed. Said dynamic illustration generation system comprises a tank, a fluid medium, a fluid impeller and a rotary drive source. Said tank having a four walls and a base portion. Said rotary drive source attached to said fluid impeller.
