  • Patent number: 11960795
    Abstract: Techniques are described for automating the design of dental restoration appliances using neural networks. An example computing device receives transform information associated with a current dental anatomy of a dental restoration patient, provides the transform information associated with the current dental anatomy of the dental restoration patient as input to a neural network trained with transform information indicating placement of a dental appliance component with respect to one or more teeth of corresponding dental anatomies, the dental appliance being used for dental restoration treatment for the one or more teeth, and executes the neural network using the input to produce placement information for the dental appliance component with respect to the current dental anatomy of the dental restoration patient.

  • Patent number: 11134094
    Abstract: A metric value is determined for each event in a set of events that characterizes a computational communication or object. For example, a metric value could include a length of a URL or agent string in the event. A subset criterion is generated, such that metric values within the subset are relatively separated from a population's center (e.g., within a distribution tail). Application of the criterion to metric values produces a subset. A representation of the subset is presented in an interactive dashboard. The representation can include unique values in the subset and counts of corresponding event occurrences. Clients can select particular elements in the representation to cause more detail to be presented with respect to individual events corresponding to specific values in the subset. Thus, clients can use their knowledge system operations and observance of value frequencies and underlying events to identify anomalous metric values and potential security threats.

  • Patent number: 5798601
    Abstract: A piezoelectric ignition kit which includes a piezoelectric ignitor having a distal electrode connected thereto via an insulated conductive lead, and connectors for removably engaging the piezoelectric ignitor and its distal electrode to a gas appliance such as a lantern, heater, or stove. One connector removably engages the piezoelectric ignitor housing to an exterior frame portion of a gas appliance; such a connector has two ends, with each end removably engaged to either the piezoelectric ignitor housing or to the exterior frame portion. The other connector removably engages the distal electrode housing to an interior frame portion of the gas appliance near the burner of the gas appliance; such a connector has two ends, with each end removably engaged to either the distal electrode housing or to the interior frame portion near the burner.
