Patents by Inventor BRADLEY A. ROTHENBERG

BRADLEY A. ROTHENBERG 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: 10037020
    Abstract: Dynamic cellular microstructure designs customize production in an additive manufacturing construction. A seamless mesh generated from an input shape, based on available scans and/or surface designs, is supplemented with curvature data derived from the input shape. Redesign of a base shape and/or group of base shapes within a seamless mesh enable customization in localized areas of the seamless mesh. The seamless mesh may also be retopologized according to localized feature attractor points. Base shape redesign includes cellular replication, subdivision, growth, and/or modification to adjust variable material properties. Modification changes relative opacity, stretch, drape, compressive strength, plasticity, yield strength, resilience, and Poisson's ratio specific to geometry of a base shape. Each base shape can also exhibit modifiable isotropic or anisotropic properties.

  • Publication number: 20170281367
    Abstract: A breast prosthesis device and method for making same are disclosed. The prosthesis has an inner wall mesh having a first density. The inner wall mesh is configured to align with a chest wall of the user. The prosthesis has an outer wall mesh having a second density. The outer wall mesh configured to have an ideal shape for the user. The prosthesis may also have a band with a density greater or equal to the inner and outer wall meshes. The prosthesis has a central portion disposed in between the inner and outer wall meshes. The prosthesis can be generated using 3D scans of the user manipulated such that the resulting structure mimics human tissue.
