  • Patent number: 12257122
    Abstract: A method of generating a 3D model for digital dentistry using a virtual bridge based multi input Boolean operation, includes generating a first group model by generating a first virtual bridge connecting models spaced apart from each other among first input models of a first input group when the models are spaced apart from each other among the first input models, generating a second group model by generating a second virtual bridge connecting models spaced apart from each other among second input models of a second input group when the models are spaced apart from each other among the second input models, generating a first result model by a Boolean operation of the first group model and the second group model and removing a remaining first virtual bridge or a remaining second virtual bridge when the first virtual bridge or the second virtual bridge remains in the first result model.

  • Publication number: 20240341927
    Abstract: An automated method for aligning 3D (three-dimensional) dental data includes extracting landmark points of a CT (computerized tomography) data, extracting landmark points of scan data of a digital impression model, determining an up vector representing a direction of a patient's eyes and nose and identifying left and right of the landmark points of the scan data, extracting a teeth portion of the scan data, searching a source point of the scan data on a spline curve of the CT data to generate a candidate target point group and determining the candidate target point group having a smallest error with the landmark points of the CT data as a final candidate.

  • Patent number: 11811795
    Abstract: Provided are a method and a system for transmitting multiple data, in which the method includes receiving a plurality of transmission files for transmission from a transmission device of the first network to a reception device of the second network, and temporarily storing the received files, generating flexible packets by dividing each of the plurality of transmission files by a flexible packet length determined according to size of the files, in which a transmission file in a size smaller than the flexible packet length among the plurality of transmission files is generated as one flexible packet without being divided, loading the flexible packets into a plurality of flexible frames based on a corresponding transmission file priority according to a maximum data transmission size, and transmitting the plurality of flexible frames to the second network.
