pr1or.art Inc., “Multi-Industry Sampling System: Advanced Collection Tech,” Published Technical Disclosure No. 24-11857058_0002_PTD, Published November 07, 2025, available at https://archive.pr1or.art/24-11857058_0002_PTD
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. 11,857,058.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent, 'Cosmetic container with scraping member', was limited to the cosmetic industry. However, the core technology of the scraping member and container design can be adapted to address sampling and storage needs in other industries. The new invention solves the problem of inefficient and ineffective sample collection and storage in these industries.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new invention's novelty lies in its application of the original patent's scraping member and container design to entirely new industries, solving specific sampling and storage problems in each industry. The inventive step is the recognition of the versatility of the original technology and its adaptation to address unmet needs in various fields.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the system could include different scraping member designs, container materials, and cap configurations to accommodate specific industry requirements. For example, a scraping member with a specialized coating could be used for collecting samples in harsh environmental conditions. Variations of the system could also include additional components, such as sensors or filters, to enhance the sampling and storage process.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The Multi-Industry Sampling and Storage System has significant commercial potential in various industries, including precision agriculture, water quality monitoring, electrical connection inspection, food quality analysis, and environmental pollutant detection. The system's adaptability, ease of use, and ability to preserve sample integrity make it an attractive solution for companies and organizations seeking to improve their sampling and storage processes.

Field of Art

Sampling and containment technologies, with expertise in container design, sample collection mechanisms, and interdisciplinary application of precision sampling techniques

Person of Ordinary Skill (PHOSITA) Profile
