This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,981.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed a tapered glass tip for smoking substances, but its core technology has limitations in terms of material selection, manufacturing process, and application scope. This invention addresses these limitations by applying the tapered glass tip concept to new industries, solving problems related to precision, waste reduction, and real-time monitoring in these fields.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a novel application of the tapered glass tip technology, which is non-obvious compared to the original patent. The inventive step lies in the adaptation of the core technology to new industries, solving specific problems and creating new opportunities for precision, efficiency, and innovation.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative materials, such as ceramics or polymers, could be used to create the tapered tip. Different manufacturing processes, like 3D printing or injection molding, could be employed to produce the tip. The tip's design could be modified to accommodate various substances, such as liquids, gases, or powders, and to operate in diverse environments, including extreme temperatures or pressures.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The tapered glass tip has significant commercial potential in various industries, including agriculture, environmental monitoring, precision medicine, and biomarker detection. The market for these applications is substantial, with potential customers including farmers, environmental agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and research institutions. The invention's ability to provide precision, efficiency, and innovation in these fields could lead to significant revenue growth and market share.
