Method And System For Three-Dimensional Modeling Of Object Fields

View page
US Patent:
6925198, Aug 2, 2005
Filed:
May 24, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/154717
Inventors:
Ronald S. Scharlack - Brookline MA, US
Bethany F. Grant - Scituate MA, US
International Classification:
G06T017/00
US Classification:
382128, 382154
Abstract:
A method and system for creating three-dimensional models of implant-bearing dental arches, and other anatomical fields of view, employs three-dimensional scanning means to capture images of an anatomical field of view wherein there have been positioned (and preferably affixed to an anatomical feature) one or more three-dimensional recognition objects having a known geometry, such as a pyramid or a linked grouping of spheres. Image processing software is employed to locate and orient said recognition objects as reference data for stitching multiple images and thereby reconstructing the scanned field of view. Recognition objects placed in areas of low feature definition enhance the accuracy of three-dimensional modeling of such areas.

Registration Of 3D Imaging Of 3D Objects

US Patent:
7551760, Jun 23, 2009
Filed:
May 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/803153
Inventors:
Ronald S. Scharlack - Brookline MA, US
Bethany F. Grant - Scituate MA, US
Alexander Yarmarkovich - Swampscott MA, US
Assignee:
Astra Tech Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382128, 382154
Abstract:
A three-dimensional-based modeling method and system designed for dentistry and related medical (and appropriate non-medical) applications. Data capture means produces a point cloud representing the three-dimensional surface of an object (e. g. , dental arch). Three-dimensional recognition objects are provided, particularly within those areas in the image field that have low image definition, and particularly in such of these areas that appear in overlapping portions of at least two images, to provide the three-dimensional image processing software with position, angulation, and orientation information sufficient to enable highly accurate combining (or “stitching”) of adjoining and overlapping images. Alignment, and creation of aligned related objects or models thereof, such as maxillar and mandibular arches, is facilitated.

Ronald S. Scharlack - Brookline MA, US

Method And System For Designing Custom Restorations For Dental Implants

View page
US Patent:
20070154868, Jul 5, 2007
Filed:
Jan 5, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/325990
Inventors:
Ronald S. Scharlack - Brookline MA, US
Alexander Yarmarkovich - Swampscott MA, US
Bethany Grant - Scituate MA, US
International Classification:
A61C 5/00
US Classification:
433215
Abstract:
A method of designing a dental restoration component. A set of design dimensional constraints is defined which must be satisfied for the dental restoration component. A set of design parameters for the dental restoration component also is defined. Using at least in part a penalty function, a value is assigned to each of said design parameters for the dental restoration component, consistent with the constraints for said component, said penalty function taking into account at least more than one of said design parameters and which signals a constraint being reached when the value of any of said parameters violates a constraint.

Sub-Module Photovoltaic Control System

View page
US Patent:
20080135084, Jun 12, 2008
Filed:
Dec 11, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/636911
Inventors:
Ronald S. Scharlack - Brookline MA, US
International Classification:
H01L 31/042
US Classification:
136244
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for operating a photovoltaic cell array provide for collecting power generated by each group of at least one but less than all of the cells of the array using each of a plurality of controllers, one controller for each group; converting the collected power at each controller to have a common output parameter, the common output parameter value being greater than the value of the same parameter at each of the individual cells; and combining the outputs from the controllers to generate an output for the array. Each controller thus has connected to it a group of one or more, but less than all, of the photovoltaic cells of the array, and the outputs of the controllers are connected preferably in parallel but potentially in series as well. The cells connected to the controllers are also connected in series, parallel, or a combination of the two. In this manner, the array output can be at or near its optimum power with each group of photovoltaic cells operating near their peak performance and under operating conditions potentially different from each other group of photovoltaic cells.

Apparatus And Methods For The Analytical Determination Of Sample Component Concentrations That Account For Experimental Error

View page
US Patent:
57242682, Mar 3, 1998
Filed:
Jun 29, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/496724
Inventors:
Lester Sodickson - Waban MA
Ronald S. Scharlack - Brookline MA
Assignee:
Chiron Diagnostics Corporation - E. Walpole MA
International Classification:
G06F 1711
G01N 2184
US Classification:
36457102
Abstract:
The present invention provides apparatus and methods for determining the concentration of sample components of a sample by an analytical technique that yields a spectrum that can be written as Y(. omega. )=P(. omega. ). multidot. C. The apparatus and methods of the invention account for experimental errors that give rise to distortions in the observed spectrum and that consequently result in inaccurate determinations of sample component concentrations. The invention accounts for such errors by modeling the total experimental error as the sum of one or more types of errors that can be written as. xi. multidot. K. The spectrum is then modeled as Y=P. multidot. C+. xi. multidot. K. Using the observed spectrum, known values for P, and a mathematical model for. xi. , this equation can be solved for the best fit value of the sample component concentrations, C, and the magnitudes of the errors, K. The method can be used for any error that can be modeled in the foregoing manner, such as a shift in the spectrum.

Non-Invasive Measurement Of Blood Ph

View page
US Patent:
58852123, Mar 23, 1999
Filed:
Jun 9, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/871270
Inventors:
Ronald S. Scharlack - Brookline MA
Assignee:
Chiron Diagnostics Corporation - E. Walpole MA
International Classification:
A61B 500
US Classification:
600322
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for non-invasively determining blood pH by a multivariate analysis technique, such as classical least squares (CLS), partial least squares (PLS), or principal components regression (PCR). The technique employs at least one spectral factor based on the difference in the spectrum of a hemoglobin fraction (e. g. , oxyhemoglobin) at two different pH's (e. g. , pH 7. 2 and pH 7. 8). The spectral factor is preferably evaluated over the wavelength range of 520-680 nm.

Method And Apparatus For Performing Spectroscopic Analysis With Applicability To Samples With Turbidity And Absorption

View page
US Patent:
62191322, Apr 17, 2001
Filed:
Sep 24, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/159944
Inventors:
Ronald S. Scharlack - Brookline MA
James J. Childs - Franklin MA
Assignee:
Bayer Corporation - East Walpole MA
International Classification:
G01N 3348
US Classification:
356 39
Abstract:
A method of performing analysis of samples having turbidity and/or high absorbance is disclosed. The analysis utilizes information from multiple factors, which affect transmittance or absorbance. These factors include: absorbance as measured in a non-turbid sample, scattering losses due to particles and limitations of the measurement device as measured in a non-absorbing sample, additional scattering losses due to sample absorbance, variable path length effects due to the sample, variable path length effects due to the measurement device, and additional nonlinear effects. By taking into account additional factors that affect transmittance or absorbance, a more accurate analysis is achieved.
