Publication number: 20250241735Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized framework for automated ceramic inkjet printing in dental restoration manufacturing. The disclosed ceramic inkjet mesh printing for dental restorations combines precision digital control with ceramic materials to create highly accurate and aesthetically pleasing dental prosthetics. The disclosed mechanisms utilize specialized printheads designed to deposit precise amounts of ceramic materials onto dental substrates, enabling the creation of detailed color gradients and natural-looking surfaces that closely mimic natural teeth.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2025Publication date: July 31, 2025Inventors: Srinivasan Sundararajan, Kevin Myers, Adrian Looi, Kenn Butler, Daniel Hanover, Oluwatoniloba Oloko

Publication number: 20250241734Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of a decision intelligence (DI)-based computerized framework that automatically and/or dynamically implements a color algorithm for performing staining and glazing dental restorations. The framework operates by leveraging determined color variations through AI/ML-based analysis that generate detailed color maps, which can be translated into precise printing instructions controlling the mixture and layering of dental-grade glazing materials. A printing system can employ multiple print heads with varying base colors and opacity levels to create microscopic color gradients and translucency effects matching natural tooth enamel. The disclosed automated processing applies personalized color patterns in microscopically thin layers, ensuring consistent glaze thickness while replicating regional variations across the tooth surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2025Publication date: July 31, 2025Inventors: Patrick Moore, Alec Tieferthal, Kenn Butler, Kevin myers, Daniel Hanover, Oluwatoniloba Oloko, Srinivasan Sundararajan

Publication number: 20240346547Abstract: The performance of a digital asset is analyzed via artificial intelligence. Data associated with a plurality of users from a plurality of data sources are received, that includes tracked activities of the plurality of users using artificial intelligence. A learning model is generated for one or more virtual personas based on the received data, each persona associated with a demographic and a pattern of behavior. One or more elements of an asset is automatically tagged. Artificial intelligence tracks one or more metrics associated with the asset, the metrics sorted based on the one or more virtual personas. Performance of the asset is predicted for a user that shares a common trait with one of the personas. A new asset is generated associated with a persona associated with the user based on the one or more metrics by updating the one or more elements of the asset.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventor: Kevin Myers

Patent number: 11226883Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to implementing a virtual test platform (VTP) and running virtual test applications (VTAs) from an unsecured location. Using a phone home service, the VTP establishes a secure tunnel connection with a test controller. The VTP receives configuration information for a VTA from the test controller. If the VTA is not stored on the VTP, the VTP retrieves the VTA from a repository specified by the test controller. The configuration information from the test controller includes information needed for the VTP to set up a second secure tunnel. The VTP establishes the second secure tunnel and launches the VTA. The VTP relays information sent through the second tunnel to the VTA, and also relays messages from the VTA back to the test controller.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2020Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Spirent Communications, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Grinkemeyer, David Dailey, Kevin Myers, Daniel Abarbanel
