Karl Stock has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11918432
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for endodontic treatment of teeth provide effective cleaning of organic material (such as pulp and diseased tissue) from the root canal system. In an embodiment, a compressor system generates high pressure liquid (e.g., water) that flows through an orifice to produce a high-velocity collimated jet of liquid. The high-velocity jet is directed toward a surface of a tooth, for example, an exposed dentinal surface, and impingement of the jet onto the surface generates an acoustic wave that propagates throughout the tooth. The acoustic wave effectively detaches organic material from dentinal surfaces and tubules. The detached organic material is flushed from the root canal system by the liquid jet and/or by additional irrigation.

  • Patent number: 11914306
    Abstract: A calibrated lithographic model may be used to generate a lithographic model output based on an integrated circuit (IC) design layout. Next, at least a chemical parameter may be extracted from the lithographic model output. A calibrated defect rate model may then be used to predict a defect rate for the IC design layout based on the chemical parameter.

  • Publication number: 20240033384
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a radiation device for disinfecting dentistry equipment, comprising a radiation chamber having at least an opening for loading and unloading the radiation chamber and a placement position for the dentistry equipment to be disinfected, disposed in the center of the radiation chamber, a door for closing the opening of the radiation chamber and at least one radiation source, in particular at least two radiation sources, each having a plurality of UVC LEDs arranged on at least two different, in particular opposite, sides of the radiation chamber. The radiation device includes four or more sensors for radiation detection, which are provided for measuring the radiation inside the radiation chamber, with at least one sensor provided in each of different edge portions of the radiation chamber.

  • Patent number: 9025164
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for ascertaining material characteristics of an object, in particular optical properties of preferably semi-transparent objects. The aim of the invention is to obtain material characteristics without complex measuring methods. This is achieved in that spectrally resolved data from measured data of the object are calculated with spectrally resolved data of a reference body in order to ascertain the material characteristics, the measured data being ascertained with a confocal 3D measuring system.

  • Patent number: 8515528
    Abstract: A measuring arrangement and a method for the three-dimensional measurement of at least part of an object includes a light source with a continuous spectrum, a device for generating a multifocal lighting pattern, a lens with a large chromatic aberration for imaging foci of the lighting pattern on the object, a detection unit for generating the wavelength spectrum of the foci that are confocally imaged on the object via the lens, and a spectrum-dispersive device disposed between the confocally imaged foci and the detection device. In order to create a highly accurate surface profile in a relatively short time even in the case of moving objects, the invention proposes that a first hole pattern including first holes be disposed in the plane of the confocally imaged foci, the geometric arrangement of the first holes corresponding to the geometric arrangement of the foci of the multifocal lighting pattern.
