20150217518 | Construction Of A Facial Mask For Air Supply And Air Exchange - A computer implemented method and a mask development system (MDS) for constructing a three-dimensional (3D) facial mask for air supply and air exchange are provided. The MDS receives images of a face and biometric data, constructs a 3D facial structure of the face's actual size using one or more facial parameters obtained from the received images and biometric data, and constructs a 3D mask structure that fits on internal and/or external areas of one or more facial parts of the 3D facial structure. The MDS configures the 3D mask structure by creating a seal around the internal and/or external areas, configuring grooves proximal to the internal and/or external areas for incorporating air supply and air exchange elements, and configuring design parameters, in the 3D mask structure. The MDS transmits the configured 3D mask structure to a 3D printer for constructing the 3D facial mask for air supply and air exchange. | 08-06-2015 |
20150206339 | Object Oriented Image Processing And Rendering In A Multi-dimensional Space - A computer implemented method and an image processing system (IPS) for constructing and rendering an object oriented image (OOI) of a target object in an original spatial position and orientation of the target object are provided. While recording an image of a target object, the IPS records extended image data (EID), for example, spatial coordinates of an image recording device (IMR), multi-dimensional position and orientation of a line of vision of the IMR and the target object, etc. The IPS determines the original spatial position and orientation of the target object from the EID, constructs the OOI of the target object by repositioning and reorienting the recorded image based on the original spatial position and orientation of the target object, and renders the constructed OOI on an image display device. For constructing a three-dimensional OOI, the IPS records multiple images and the EID of the target object at multiple orientations. | 07-23-2015 |
20150142153 | Three-dimensional Object Development - A computer implemented method and an object development system (ODS) for developing a three-dimensional (3D) object are provided. The ODS receives a 3D image in one or more image formats from one or more sources. The ODS determines object development requirements and a display type of the received 3D image. The ODS creates a support structure based on the object development requirements and the display type. The support structure includes one or more branching elements movably attached to each other and/or a support element for facilitating movement in the 3D object. The ODS fits the received 3D image on the support structure and constructs a multi-layered volumetric 3D image therefrom. The ODS segments the multi-layered volumetric 3D image into multiple 3D printable units. The ODS transmits the 3D printable units to one or more 3D printing devices for printing each 3D printable unit for assembling and developing the 3D object. | 05-21-2015 |
20140370457 | Tooth Loosening And Removal Apparatus With A Motion Transfer Member - An apparatus including a transducer head and a motion transfer member, and a method for rupturing connective tissues that attach a tooth to an alveolar bone socket are provided. The transducer head generates and transfers vibrational and tapping movements to the motion transfer member. The motion transfer member, extending from the transducer head via a neck of a transducer assembly, includes a ball projection and a flexible member. The ball projection connected to a distal end of the neck transfers the generated vibrational and tapping movements received from the transducer head to the tooth. The flexible member housing and surrounding the ball projection contacts a tooth surface and generally conforms to a shape of the tooth to distribute the generated vibrational and tapping movements uniformly in multiple directions on the tooth to rupture the connective tissues and allow the tooth to be loosened and removed from the alveolar bone socket. | 12-18-2014 |

The angular head member in fluid communication with the suction chamber via the tubular connection member, contacts and suctions the intraoral biofilm from the intraoral areas into the inner space of the suction chamber when the negative air pressure is created. The angular head member having an angularly curved suction tip configurably accesses the intraoral areas. The angular head member having a suction plate suctions the intraoral biofilm from intraoral tongue areas. | 10-30-2014 |
20140287379 | Determination Of A Three Dimensional Relation Between Upper and Lower Jaws With Reference To A Temporomandibular Joint - An apparatus including a bite frame and a bite shaped member is provided. The bite frame includes one or more arcuate frame elements defining an opening for accommodating a mesh element or the bite shaped member that receives a bite registration material for registering a bite impression. The bite shaped member has a geometrical body structure, upper and lower channels of configurable shapes, and upper and lower windows. The upper and lower windows are separated by a space for receiving and allowing flow of the bite registration material to register a vertical distance between the upper and lower jaws. An image processing system operably connected to the apparatus determines the three-dimensional relation between the upper and lower jaws with reference to temporomandibular joints using panoramic images of the upper and lower jaws, reference points provided by radio-opaque markers, three-dimensional scanned images of the bite impression, and three-dimensional head surface images. | 09-25-2014 |
20140283408 | Vacuum Assisted Dehydration System - A vacuum assisted dehydration system including a vacuum chamber, a gas compressor, a heating coil, and a vacuum pump is provided. A sealing member removably attached to an opening of the vacuum chamber is opened to introduce one or more instruments into the vacuum chamber. The gas compressor, in fluid communication with the vacuum chamber, recirculates a pressurized gas into the vacuum chamber. The heating coil within the vacuum chamber heats the recirculating gas, which contacts the instruments positioned therein and transfers heat energy into interstitial cavities and to surfaces of the instruments or onto other moist components, for example, hands to vaporize moisture present therein. The vacuum pump, in fluid communication with the vacuum chamber, creates a negative gas pressure in the vacuum chamber to exhaust the vaporized moisture entrained in the heated recirculating gas from the vacuum chamber to dehydrate the instruments or the moist components. | 09-25-2014 |
20140141670 | AMPHIBIOUS PROTECTION APPARATUS WITH INFLATABLE WALL MEMBERS AND ENHANCED ACCESS PORTS - An amphibious protection apparatus includes wall members that define an occupancy space for accommodating one or more users, and an access region for providing access to the occupancy space.
