Systems And Processes For Computationally Setting Bite Alignment

View page
US Patent:
20080038684, Feb 14, 2008
Filed:
May 10, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/747195
Inventors:
Scott Keating - Louisville CO, US
Eric Ponslet - Los Alamos NM, US
International Classification:
A61C 11/00
US Classification:
433024000, 433213000
Abstract:
A computational process for determining the appropriate bite alignment of an individual. The system and processes use digital models of the upper teeth, lower teeth and bite impression of an individual. Those models are fitted together in an appropriate bite alignment. The relative movement of the models are tracked mathematically. An optimization function is then used to determine the best fit between the models.

Torsion Springs With Visco-Elastic Damping

View page
US Patent:
61023795, Aug 15, 2000
Filed:
Nov 17, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/972030
Inventors:
Eric R. Ponslet - Los Alamos NM
William O. Miller - Los Alamos NM
Assignee:
Hytec, Inc. - Los Alamos NM
International Classification:
F16M 100
US Classification:
267136
Abstract:
A metal spring with embedded constrained layer damping provides effective damping of a supported load. A continuous load bearing tube is provided with an inner diameter and an outer diameter with a plurality of constraining layer tube sections concentric with the load bearing tube and spaced along the load bearing tube. A damping layer of a viscoelastic material contacts facing surfaces of the continuous load bearing tube and the constraining layer tube sections so that shear strains are induced in the viscoelastic material from relative rotation of the load bearing tube and the constraining layer sections to provide damping of an applied load. In one embodiment, the constraining layer tube sections and damping are within the load bearing continuous tube and the continuous tube is sealed at each end to permit use of the spring in a vacuum environment.
