Patent number: 11672630Abstract: Apparatus and methods for adjustably retaining an oral appliance to an abutment assembly are disclosed. In one variation, a securement apparatus can comprise a sleeve having a sleeve frame and a number of locking flaps. The sleeve can define a lumen therethrough for positioning upon an abutment assembly. The locking flaps can have varying length dimensions and can project radially inward or outward relative to the sleeve frame. The outward flaps can lock against surface features defined along an inner surface of a coping coupled to the oral appliance and the inward flaps can lock against surface features defined along a portion of the abutment assembly. The sleeve can release the oral appliance from the abutment assembly when the locking flaps of the sleeve are actuated by an actuation unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Rodo Medical, Inc.Inventors: Young Seo, Jong Gil Park

Patent number: 9726815Abstract: This ultra-low-loss optical fiber comprises a core having a higher relative refractive index difference than silica and a cladding having a lower relative refractive index difference than silica. The relative refractive index difference of the core with respect to the refractive index of silica is 0.0030 to 0.0055, for example, and the relative refractive index difference of the cladding with respect to the refractive index of silica is ?0.0020 to ?0.0003. The ultra-low-loss optical fiber has the loss characteristic of simultaneously having optical losses of at most 0.324 dB/km at a wavelength of 1310 nm, at most 0.320 dB/km at a wavelength of 1383 nm, at most 0.184 dB/km at a wavelength of 1550 nm, and at most 0.20 dB/km at a wavelength of 1625 nm. The ultra-low-loss optical fiber is supercooled when the surface temperature of the optical fiber has a temperature range in a glass transition section during drawing.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: TAIHAN FIBEROPTICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Chi-Hwan Ouh, Sung-Koog Oh, Na-Eun Kwack, Eun-You Hong, Jong-Gil Park, Ji-Hun Yun

Publication number: 20170165037Abstract: Root canal abutment devices and methods which facilitate the adjustment or removal of an oral appliance, e.g., a crown or bridge, from a reconfigurable abutment assembly are described. The adjustable abutment assembly may be secured within a pulp chamber of a pre-existing tooth. The abutment assembly has a projecting abutment portion with one or more shape memory alloy sleeves or plates or elements extending along the abutment. Each of the sleeves has a length with at least one curved or arcuate portion. Energy may be applied to the elements such that the arcuate portion flattens to allow for the oral appliance to be placed thereupon while removal of the energy allows the elements to reconfigure into its curved configuration thereby locking the oral appliance to the abutment. Removal of the oral appliance may be effected by reapplication of energy to the elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2017Publication date: June 15, 2017Applicant: Rodo Medical, Inc.Inventors: Young SEO, Jong Gil PARK
