Publication number: 20240325123Abstract: Example dental assemblies and methods involve snap-fitting a denture or other dental prosthesis to a patient's jaw. In some examples, an implant is anchored to the jaw, an abutment is screwed to the implant, and a head of the abutment snaps directly into a pocket created in the dental prosthesis. In some examples, a polymeric cap couples the abutment's head to the pocket. Based on coordinate data from a CT or intraoral scanner, the pocket can be created by CNC milling or 3D printing. The method eliminates the need for bonding a metal housing or casing to the dental prosthesis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Patrick C. Bell, Michael A. Mathews, Thomas J. Arendt, Leo J. Malin

Publication number: 20220147199Abstract: A method implements data visualization offline interaction. A user requests a data visualization, and sends the request to a server. The method receives a data model needed to render the data visualization and a data visualization library. The method stores the data model and data visualization library in memory. The method generates the data visualization based on the data model using the data visualization library, and displays the data visualization in a data visualization interface. A user manipulates the data visualization. If there is no connectivity with the server, indicating offline mode, and the user input corresponds to functionality that is available in the offline mode, the method retrieves the stored data model and data visualization library and generates an updated data visualization based on the data model using the visualization library. The updated data visualization is displayed in the data visualization interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2022Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: Michael Mathews, Ryan Whitney

Patent number: 8738535Abstract: The software site licensing system includes a client site having a target unit and a license sales site for generating a corresponding site license. The sales site receives an order for a target unit from the client and sends the physical order to a warehouse for shipping. The sales site determines the intangible portion of the order and establishes a virtual warehouse for the client to inventory the intangibles (license components). The warehouse notifies the sales site of the unique identifiers on the target prior to shipping so the sales site can link the en-route target with the client. The client accesses its personal virtual warehouse and selects the license components desired for the site license. The system assembles the site license and upon request, transmits the site license from the virtual warehouse to the target unit for installation.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2003Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Inter-Tel (DE) IncInventors: Arthur Louis Gaetano, Jr., Jerry Gin, John Durant, Michael Mathew Merriam

Patent number: 8690068Abstract: This invention relates to a novel architecture of a passive RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tag which is highly miniature in size, capable of metal mounting and suitable for global operation in the entire UHF band (860 MHz to 960 MHz) without necessity of territory specific optimization of the antenna design layout. This invention envisages a novel antenna design that consists of a circular or rectangular microstrip antenna of ultra-small size (??/50), which is suitably loaded in shunt by lumped components resistor (R), inductor (L) and capacitor (C). The feed point, feed layout and the loading values are so optimized that a single tag will display optimum performance in all the territories. This invention relates to a method of encapsulating the passive tag with radio transparent materials like Radel® R, as well as a metal backplane so that the encapsulated tag can withstand autoclaving while maintaining the required performance.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2012Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Michael Mathews, Chakravarty Tapas, Steven Tethrake, Robin Turner, Kuldeep Tyagi
