  • Patent number: 10500022
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for multifunctional denture systems. In one example, among others, a multifunctional oral prosthetic system includes an oral prosthetic device that may be located in an oral cavity. The oral prosthetic device includes a plurality of sensors and an internal module in communication with the plurality of sensors. The internal module is configured to provide sensor data corresponding to at least one of the plurality of sensors to an external processing unit when located in an oral cavity.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110300347
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for the fabrication of patterned nanofibers. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a layer of electrospun nanofibers from a polymer solution and patterning the layer of electrospun nanofibers using ultraviolet (UV) lithography. The patterned electrospun nanofibers may then be thermally treated to form patterned carbon nanofibers. In another embodiment, a device includes a layer of patterned carbon nanofibers formed by generating electrospun nanofibers from a polymer solution, patterning the electrospun nanofibers using UV lithography, and converting the patterned electrospun nanofibers into patterned carbon nanofibers using a thermal treatment.
