Publication number: 20240138962Abstract: A dental model gripping system can include a dental model and a dental model gripper. The dental model can include a replica set of teeth and a flat bottom surface there beneath that can include first and second vertical openings spaced apart by an opening distance. The dental model gripper can have a flat top surface and first and second pins extending vertically therethrough that can slide toward and away from each other. The first and second pins can be slid to an engaging position where they are spaced apart by the opening distance and are insertable into the vertical openings of the dental model, can be slid away from each other to a gripping position while inserted into the vertical openings, and can press against internal surfaces within the vertical openings to grip firmly the bottom surface of the dental model against the top surface of the dental model gripper.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Andrew Martz, Martin Martz, Joe Sinopoli, Brian Roe, Jordan Schwarz

Patent number: 11678958Abstract: A dental appliance made of an olefin polymer is directly formed via rapid prototyping without the use of an intermediary physical mold. A polymer precursor solution includes one or more olefin-containing monomers and/or oligomers, an olefin polymerization catalyst, and a UV absorbing agent to limit penetration of the UV light through the polymer precursor solution. One or more reactions of the polymer precursor solution are modulated in response to UV light, and the polymer precursor solution may further include an inhibitor (quenching agent) configured to modulate those reactions. The polymer precursor solution can be deposited using UV-cured stereolithographic or 3D printing methods to form appliances exhibiting improved elongation at break characteristics and suitable stress resistance.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: ARCHFORM INC.Inventors: Andrew Martz, Martin Martz

Patent number: 11521325Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for image capture, analysis and transmission are provided. A link aggregation method involves identifying controller network ports to a source connected to the same subnetwork; producing packets associating corresponding controller network ports selected by the source CPU for substantially uniform selection; and transmitting the packets to their corresponding network ports. An image analysis method involves producing by a camera an indication whether a region of an image differs by a threshold extent from a corresponding region of a reference image; transmitting the indication and image data to a controller via a communications network; and storing at the controller the image data and the indication in association therewith. The controller may perform operations according to positive indications.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INCInventors: Andrew Martz, Ross Wightman, Shaun P.

Patent number: 10454997Abstract: The present disclosure is directed at methods, systems, and techniques for sharing data in a physical security system that includes multiple server nodes. One of the server nodes (a “first node”) accesses a node identifier identifying another of the server nodes (a “second node”), following which the first node sends the data to the second node. Both the first and second nodes are part of a server cluster that includes multiple server nodes, and each of the server nodes in the server cluster has access to cluster membership information. The cluster membership information identifies all of the server nodes in the server cluster, and the node identifier is part of the cluster membership information.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2012Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Avigilon CorporationInventors: Andrew Martz, Ross Wightman, Greg Magolan, Shaun Marlatt

Patent number: 9602582Abstract: A physical security system having multiple server nodes may be built as a distributed network. To send data between the nodes in the network, a first node may access a node identifier identifying a second node, with both the first and second nodes forming at least part of a server cluster, and the first node may then send the data to the second node. The node identifier forms at least part of cluster membership information identifying all and accessible by all server nodes in that server cluster. Functionality such as the ability to share views between system users and the ability for those users to control an unattended display may be implemented on a distributed network, a federated network, or another type of network.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Avigilon CorporationInventors: Ryan Lee, Shaun Marlatt, Matthew Adam, Ross Wightman, Greg Magolan, Andrew Martz
