Patent number: 11918432Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: SONENDO, INC.Inventors: Morteza Gharib, Joshua Adams, Erik Hars, Bjarne Bergheim, Karl Stocks, Lance Doherty

Patent number: 11914306Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Synopsys, Inc.Inventors: Erik A. Verduijn, Ulrich Karl Klostermann, Ulrich Welling, Jiuzhou Tang, Hans-Jürgen Stock

Patent number: 9025164Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2011Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Degudent GmbHInventors: Thomas Ertl, Raimund Hibst, Karl Stock, Rainer Graser, Michael Zint

Patent number: 8515528Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2008Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Degudent GmbHInventors: Rainer Graser, Raimund Hibst, Karl Stock, Michael Zint
