Publication number: 20230031165Abstract: Methods of manufacturing dental prosthesis/implants each to replace a non-functional natural tooth positioned in a jawbone of a specific pre-identified patient are provided. An example method includes the steps of receiving imaging data such as x-ray image data and surface scan data of a dental anatomy and/or a physical impression of the dental anatomy of a specific preidentified patient. The steps can also include forming a three-dimensional virtual model of at least portions of a non-functional natural tooth positioned in the jawbone of the specific pre-identified patient based on the imaging and surface scan data, virtually designing a dental implant based upon the virtual model, exporting the data describing the designed dental implant to a manufacturing machine, and custom manufacturing the dental implant for the specific patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: RTRS Investment, LLCInventors: Ruedger Rubbert, Ernst-Ulrich Gerhard Berndt, Jakob Sebastian Marquard, Hauke Schmidt-Martens, Lea Ellermeier Nesbit

Patent number: 8849859Abstract: A system providing three-dimensional visual navigation for a mobile unit includes a location calculation unit for calculating an instantaneous position of the mobile unit, a viewpoint control unit for determining a viewing frustum from the instantaneous position, a scenegraph manager in communication with at least one geo-database to obtain geographic object data associated with the viewing frustum and generating a scenegraph organizing the geographic object data, and a scenegraph renderer which graphically renders the scenegraph in real time. To enhance depiction, a method for blending images of different resolutions in the scenegraph reduces abrupt changes as the mobile unit moves relative to the depicted geographic objects. Data structures for storage and run-time access of information regarding the geographic object data permit on-demand loading of the data based on the viewing frustum and allow the navigational system to dynamically load, on-demand, only those objects that are visible to the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2007Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hauke Schmidt, Tuolin Chen, Aaron Lee

Patent number: 8339363Abstract: Information exchange systems and methods (“IES”) are described that allow users of portable devices to initiate exchanges of information with a simple gesture. Detection of this gesture causes the host device to perform a number of actions including one or more of selecting data for an exchange transaction, identifying one or more destination devices to receive the selected data, transferring the selected data to the destination devices, and receiving complementary or corresponding data from the destination devices. The IES thus avoids the requirement for users to perform time consuming and error prone interactions involving complex operations with a device interface in order to initiate data exchanges.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2005Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: David Michael Krum, Hauke Schmidt

Publication number: 20110185390Abstract: A method of operating a driver information system includes communicatively coupling a personal electronics device to the driver information system. A selection of an application of the driver information system is received from a user. The user makes input using the car's input devices, and the input is transformed to match the input capabilities of the personal electronics device. Data is transmitted from the application to the personal electronics device. The data is processed within the personal electronics device. A result of the processing is transmitted from the personal electronics device to the driver information system. Information is presented to the user via the driver information system dependent upon the result of the processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2010Publication date: July 28, 2011Applicant: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Jens FAENGER, Hauke SCHMIDT
