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. 11,857,699.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

This inventive concept leverages the core technology of selectively applied sealing layers or coatings on textile substrates to address diverse industrial challenges, including agricultural irrigation, water filtration, soundproofing, humidity control, and oil spill containment.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent focused on vascular and endovascular prostheses, but the underlying technology has broader applicability. The inventive concept addresses the limitations of existing solutions in various industries, such as inefficient water use in agriculture, inadequate water filtration, and ineffective soundproofing.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The new claims encompass a range of applications, including a system for controlling water flow in agricultural irrigation systems, a method for manufacturing a textile-based water filtration system, a textile-based soundproofing material, a system for controlling humidity in buildings, and a method for manufacturing a textile-based oil spill containment system. Each application leverages the selectively applied sealing layer or coating to regulate water permeability, reduce sound transmission, or control moisture transmission.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce novel applications of the core technology, departing from the original patent's focus on vascular and endovascular prostheses. The inventive step lies in the adaptation of the sealing layer or coating technology to address specific challenges in diverse industries.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments may include using different types of textile substrates, varying the composition and properties of the sealing layer or coating, or integrating the technology with other materials or systems. Variations could also involve adapting the technology for use in other industries, such as aerospace or construction.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential across multiple industries, including agriculture, water treatment, construction, and environmental remediation. The technology's adaptability and versatility make it an attractive solution for companies seeking innovative, efficient, and effective solutions to complex challenges.
