Publication number: 20230210601Abstract: A dental implantation assessment method includes the steps of creating a 3D teeth model; setting up a reference line, creating a health status table, and forming a multi-level frame model for an implant placement position on the teeth model; dividing each level of the frame model into a centered implant module and multiple surrounding test modules; dividing each test module into multiple assessment zones, and combining the latter with the health status table; selecting and placing a dental implant model in the frame model, and defining one assessment zone in each test module that contacts with a periphery of the dental implant model as a selected zone; and lastly, computing assessment values assigned to the selected zones to determine an object type of the dental implant model. A dentist can decide an optimal dental implant through dental implant model size selection and implantation simulation to ensure successful dental implant surgery.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Applicant: STAR GENERATION LIMITEDInventors: Chun-Leon CHEN, Nina CHEN, Audree CHEN, Nicholas CHEN, Alec CHEN, Nolan CHEN

Publication number: 20120184242Abstract: Described are methods, devices, and systems to provide enhanced wireless coverage for wireless mobile stations by facilitating centralized authentication for a variety of unrelated networks. The mobile stations can then access Internet and telephony resources via the various networks for improved coverage and bandwidth. Some embodiments support the extension of network coverage using wireless-access points that can be partitioned into multiple virtual access points, one associated with an enterprise and another with an overlay network that facilitates mobile communication over multiple networks. One physical access point can support an enterprise network using one virtual access point and the overlay network using another. Users unaffiliated with an enterprise can access the overlay network via the enterprise's physical access point without gaining access to the enterprise network.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2010Publication date: July 19, 2012Applicant: RAMBUS Inc.Inventors: Adam H.
