  • Patent number: 11931224
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a device or tooth pod for regeneration of teeth. In some exemplary embodiments, a method of implanting a tooth pod comprises of providing a tooth pod, implanting the tooth pod into an insertion point, and sealing the insertion point. The tooth pod comprises a composition of vitamin E oil and penicillin. In some exemplary embodiments, the tooth pod comprises of a permeable membrane defined by an outer layer and an inner layer, and a cavity defined by the space enclosed within the inner layer. In some exemplary embodiments, the device is a spherical pod. The tooth pod is implanted into the gum line at approximately ½ the depth of a tooth, which provides space to growth of tooth upwards and downwards. The blood fills the hollow space of the tooth pod and forms nerve roots. Thereafter, a new adult tooth is formed.

  • Patent number: 11872105
    Abstract: The present invention is a dental implant device that mimics the structure and appearance of a real tooth. In some exemplary embodiments, the implant device may include a top portion, a bottom portion, and a cavity. The top portion is a crown portion adapted to mimic a crown of a real tooth. The bottom portion includes a root portion that is adapted to facilitate blood flow into the device. The cavity is adapted to receive and retain blood flow, which triggers the regeneration of dental pulp and dentin and makes the device vital. The dental pulp will contain real nerve roots which not only enable the artificial tooth to sense hot and cold, but also give the tooth vitality. The device is implanted into a patient's gum line and will gain strength in approximately 1½ months and be at full strength within 3 months.

  • Publication number: 20230157892
    Abstract: A method, equation, system, and device for electrically heating Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) and other transparent conductive materials having a uniform sheet resistivity for defogging and de-icing in a cold environment. The use of nonparallel busbars for connecting the conductive materials reduces excessive and dangerous hot zones. The mathematical analysis and equations provide a means of precisely providing an intermittent electrical connection so that the Watt density and heating is uniform, allowing much higher temperature for de-icing and defogging and more efficient use of energy. This same concept can be used for three dimensional formed heaters to compensate for non uniform sheet resistivity.

  • Publication number: 20210284043
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods described herein relate generally to on-the-go entity-to-entity charging for multi-level battery-powered entities in transportation systems. A method can include determining charge levels, current positions, battery configuration, and transport speeds for an electric vehicle (EV), identifying one or more EVs in need of charging, and mobilizing a nearby EV for on-the-go peer-to-peer charging. A processor, with a memory including computer program code, can be configured to receive current charge level data for mobile battery-powered entities, identify one or more EVs to be charged and one or more other EVs that have excess charge to transfer, and send charging instructions to the EVs. A routing and charge transaction scheduling algorithm can be used to optimize the route of one or more battery-powered entities and to schedule charge transactions between EVs and/or a charging entity. A heuristic battery architecture compiler can be used to optimize battery architecture.
