Patent number: 11813140Abstract: A frictionally-retained detachable dental attachment assembly or anchor device is designed to attach a dental appliance with a tooth root or implant. The assembly includes a denture attachment housing for securing in the dental appliance, an abutment attached with a tooth root or implant, and a compressible retention member with a first end in fixed attachment with the cap and a second end in snap engagement with the abutment via a frictionally-retained ball secured within a cavity of the abutment. The retention member is formed using a compressible material to allow the ball to compress and the retention member to flex while inserting the ball into the cavity. Additional friction-retained and fixed attachment configurations of the dental anchor device are provided, along with methods of securing a dental appliance in a subject's mouth by means of the friction-retained and fixed attachment dental anchor devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: ZEST IP HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Richard Robert Allen, Christopher Michael Gervais, James Irwin Johnson

Patent number: 11805144Abstract: Security related anomalies in the data related to network entities are identified, and a risk score is assigned to each entity based on the anomalies. Visualization data is generated for a color-coded interactive visualization. Generating the visualization data includes assigning each entity to a separate polygon to be displayed concurrently on a display screen; selecting a size of each polygon to indicate one of: a number of security related anomalies associated with the entity, or a risk level assigned to the entity, where the risk level is based on the risk score of the entity, and selecting a color of each polygon to indicate the other one of: the number of security related anomalies associated with the entity, or the risk level assigned to the entity; and causing, the color-coded interactive visualization to be displayed on a display device based on the visualization data.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Allison Lindsey Drake, James Irwin Ebeling, Marios Iliofotou, Lucas Keith Murphey, Mihir Randhir Parikh, Amarendra Pendala, Krishna Prasanna Sankaran, Sourabh Satish

Publication number: 20230139000Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for presentation of network security risk and threat information is disclosed. A listing is generated of incidents identified by use of event data obtained from a networked computing environment. A particular incident is determined to be associated with a risk object, wherein a risk object is a component of the networked computing environment. The listing is populated with a name associated with the risk object. Risk events associated with the incident are determined, wherein each risk event contributes to a risk score for the incident. The risk score indicates a potential security issue associated with the risk object. The listing is populated with the risk score and a summary of the events. An action is associated with the listing, for triggering display of additional information associated with the risk object. The listing can be displayed in a first display screen of the GUI.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: James Apger, Allison Lindsey Drake, James Irwin Ebeling, Orville Esoy, Bhooshan Kulkarni, Marquis L.

Publication number: 20230017305Abstract: A variety of applications can include apparatus or methods that provide a well ring for resistive ground power domain segregation. The well ring can be implemented as a n-well in a p-type substrate. Resistive separation between ground domains can be generated by biasing a n-well ring to an external supply voltage. This approach can provide a procedure, from a process standpoint, that provides relatively high flexibility to design for chip floor planning and simulation, while providing sufficient noise rejection between independent ground power domains when correctly sized. Significant noise rejection between ground power domains can be attained.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Mattia Cichocki, Vladimir Mikhalev, Phani Bharadwaj Vanguri, James Eric Davis, Kenneth William Marr, Chiara Cerafogli, Michael James Irwin, Domenico Tuzi, Umberto Siciliani, Alessandro Alilla, Andrea Giovanni Xotta, Chung-Ping Wu, Luigi Marchese, Pasquale Conenna, Joonwoo Nam, Ishani Bhatt, Fulvio Rori, Andrea D'Alessandro, Michele Piccardi, Aleksey Prozapas, Luigi Pilolli, Violante Moschiano
