Patent number: 11789682Abstract: Techniques for printing 3D anatomical models for diagnostic and/or non-diagnostic uses are provided. In one technique, a computing system (e.g., a 3D print portal) receives a first API call from a requester system via one or more APIs. The first API call indicates that a requester system has saved 3D printable files in a data repository. In response to receiving the first API call, the computing system sends, to the requester system, a user information form to initiate a production ordering process of printing the 3D printable files.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Steven A.

Publication number: 20230282330Abstract: Techniques for providing clearance, notification, and selection of use related to certification of 3D anatomical models for pre-surgical planning are provided. In one technique, a collection of sets of one or more files for generating a 3D anatomical model is stored. First input to print a 3D anatomical model based on a set of one or more files in the collection is received from a requester computer. In response to determining that the to-be-printed 3D anatomical model is not associated with a predetermined certification, a user interface is updated to indicate that the 3D anatomical model cannot be used for a diagnostic purpose. Second input that indicates that a user of the requester computer accepts using the 3D anatomical model for only non-diagnostic purposes is received. After receiving the second input, the 3D anatomical model is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Steven A.

Patent number: 7258641Abstract: A drive axle assembly is provided that improves lubrication of the bearing surfaces of the inter-axle differential gears, the side gears meshed with the differential gears, and the input and output shafts. Lubricant splashed from the ring gear is collected and is then distributed by a bearing supporting the output side gear for rotation within the housing for the assembly. The bearing directs lubricant to the differential gears where seals and/or close tolerances retain the lubricant an allow it to flow to the surfaces of the input shaft and the helical side gear disposed about the input shaft. The output side gear disposed about the output shaft may also include a passage allowing lubricant to flow through the gear to the bearing surfaces of the output shaft and output side gear.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2005Date of Patent: August 21, 2007Assignee: Dana CorporationInventors: Michael Green, Gary Turner, Brad Cornell

Patent number: 7211017Abstract: An improved inter-axle differential locking clutch is provided that aligns the actuator and the clutch member thereby reducing space and material requirements in the axle assembly housing. The clutch also eliminates the need for a pushrod and shift fork thereby reducing tooling and production costs, as well as eliminating issues associated with misalignment of the piston and pushrod, relative rotation of the shift fork and clutch member, and tipping of the shift fork. The clutch includes one or more pistons disposed within either the axle housing or a carrier supporting the input shaft bearing. Fluid pressure actuates the pistons against a clutch member causing selective engagement between the clutch member and either a side gear driven by the inter-axle differential or a differential case housing the differential gears of the inter-axle differential.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2004Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Dana CorporationInventors: Michael Green, Chris Pollack, Gary A.
