Patent number: 12000740Abstract: A sensor apparatus is provided. Multiple opposite and self-powered sensors are provided in another aspect of the present apparatus. A further aspect employs a sensor apparatus including a first pair of flexible piezoelectric sensors attached to opposite sides of an exterior surface of a workpiece and at least a second pair of flexible piezoelectric sensors attached to opposite sides of the exterior surface of the workpiece. Another aspect of the present apparatus uses pairs of thin film piezoelectric sensors which are configured to detect bending curvature of a workpiece in at least two dimensions by sending voltage output signals from both of the sensors of a first pair and/or both of the sensors of at least a second pair to a controller and/or electrical circuit.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: Board of Trustees of Michigan State UniversityInventors: Yunqi Cao, Nelson Sepulveda-Alancastro, Henry D'Souza

Patent number: 11992383Abstract: Systems for force measurement upon orthodontic appliances are described. Generally, a system for measuring a force or moment imparted by an orthodontic appliance may comprise a dentition mold having one or more target teeth each formed upon a fixture and which is movable independently of the dentition mold, a measurement sensor coupled to the fixture, and a processor in communication with the measurement sensor. An orthodontic appliance may be configured for placement upon the dentition mold where the orthodontic appliance imparts a force or moment upon the one or more target teeth such that the force or moment is transmitted to the measurement sensor via the fixture for measurement of the force or moment.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: uLab Systems, Inc.Inventor: Henry Cao

Publication number: 20240152257Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes causing display, in a graphical user interface on a client device, of a page with a navigational panel including a selectable tree element having a hierarchical relationship to a current electronic page having its user-generated content being displayed in a content panel. The method includes identifying a set of candidate cards in which each card is associated with a respective electronic page and has a respective relatedness score. The method includes identifying a user profile in accordance with an authentication of an user operating the client device, and selecting, from the set of candidate cards, a subset of candidate cards satisfying permissions criteria based on permissions identified in the user profile. The method includes causing display of the subset of candidate cards within the content panel in accordance with the respective relatedness score for each card in the subset of candidate cards.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Henry Jetmundsen, Balazs Nagy, Jerry Qing, Swati Katta, Rudra Saha, Shawn Cao, Andrew Nelson, Arnav Garg, Frank Wang

Patent number: 11959134Abstract: Methods of double-stranded nucleic acid sequence determination and assembly that are able to identify insertions, deletions, repeat region sizes and genomic rearrangements, for example, are disclosed herein, which can use relatively large labeled nucleic acid fragments to analyze the structure of even larger genetic regions. In some embodiments these methods involve the use of certain parameters which unexpectedly improve overall method performance. In some embodiments these methods involve sample labeling that does not result in the formation of single-stranded nucleic acid fragment labeling intermediaries.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Bionano Genomics, Inc.Inventors: Michael G. Saghbini, Henry B. Sadowski, Goran Pljevaljcic, Alex R. Hastie, Han Cao

Publication number: 20230053766Abstract: Systems for treatment planning environments are disclosed where a method of collaborating on a treatment plan for correcting one or more teeth of a subject may include digitally receiving intra-oral scan data of one or more teeth of the subject where the one or more teeth are in an initial position, synchronizing a virtual treatment planning environment between a first device of at least one practitioner and a second device of at least one technician, and displaying a pre-setup design of the intra-oral scan data within the treatment planning environment. The pre-setup design is revised based upon input received from the practitioner for correcting one or more malocclusions and one or more intermediate steps of the treatment plan is created from the initial position to a final position of the teeth within the treatment planning environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2022Publication date: February 23, 2023Applicant: uLab Systems, Inc.Inventors: Henry CAO, Huafeng WEN, Surya SARVA, Andrew LIU

Publication number: 20210393376Abstract: Attachments for tooth movements are described herein where the orthodontic attachments may be formed by obtaining a digital model of a dentition of a subject and digitally placing one or more attachments upon the digital model for imparting one or more preselected movements to the dentition. A finite element model may be formed with one or more forces applied to the dentition and an initial stress map may be created to impart upon the dentition based on the finite element model. A subsequent stress map may be predicted using, e.g., machine learning, to achieve the one or more preselected movements.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicant: uLab Systems, Inc.Inventors: Eric WU, Louis SCHUELLER, Surya SARVA, Henry CAO
