  • Patent number: 11957534
    Abstract: A method of producing a custom dental anchor application appliance may be provided. The appliance may be for mounting one or more anchors to teeth of a patient. The appliance may be for use in orthodontic aligner treatment. The method may include forming a dental appliance. The forming may be done using a three-dimensional printing approach. The appliance may include a body. The body may include at least one anchor-locating area. The anchor-locating area may be shaped to conform to a mounting area on a surface of a tooth. The appliance may include a receiving structure. The receiving structure may be configured to removably support a dental anchor. The dental anchor may be of a predefined configuration in a fixed position and orientation relative to the body.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10440055
    Abstract: An example apparatus configured to perform network deception may include processing circuitry configured to generate virtual instances of decoy resources residing within a defined host network for presentation to cyber attackers, control at least one software defined network switch to monitor network traffic directed to real and decoy resources of the defined host network, and route network traffic based on detected interactions with the decoy resources. The decoy resources may have differing levels of decoy fidelity, where decoy fidelity indicates a difficulty for a cyber attacker to determine that the resource is a decoy. Additionally, generating the virtual instances of decoy resources may be performed without modification to real assets or real services residing in the defined host network. Furthermore, decoy services may be made to appear on real network assets using software defined networking without modification to the real assets or real services residing in the defined host network.
