| February 12, 2025 I have sent the same letter to three different companies. I have written to them several times before. This will probably be the last time. I will only mention the requirements. I have previously sent you a DVD containing a video of me using CAD to design dental prosthetics. Much time has passed since then. I would like to eventually have “Institute of Science Tokyo” create an application that uses artificial intelligence to generate the outline of the crown shape. I have decided to use the following method. I decided to ask dentists at USC (University of Southern California, School of Dentistry) or dentists of the American chapter of the International Society of Gnathology to indirectly encourage dentists at “Institute of Science Tokyo” to do research, rather than directly to “Institute of Science Tokyo” from me. I am not a well-known dental technician in Japan, and I have not achieved anything. However, I have uploaded an article on new science to my web site. If the legitimate heirs of Gnathology like what they read in that article, I have decided to ask them to do so. It is to allow us to use the brand name you have created, “Gnathology”. Under that brand name, we would like to create an application that uses artificial intelligence to generate the outline of the crown shape. I hope that the legitimate heirs of American Gnathology will ask the dentists of the “Institute of Science Tokyo” to actually make that application. However, at this time, we do not know if the American dentists are really willing to make such an offer to “Institute of Science Tokyo”. In the text of that e-mail, the names of three companies are mentioned. I mentioned the names of those companies without their consent, to the extent that they had expressed interest in the DVD containing the video I had sent them in advance. The reason for this letter is to inquire whether or not you would like to participate in the development of that application, if indeed “Institute of Science Tokyo” were to take the lead in developing it. If you are willing to participate, what can you offer for the project and what do you hope to receive in return? In terms of what the company can offer, for example, digital data of the dental molds that have been used in clinical practice in the past. As for the quid pro quo that the company would like to receive, for example, the right to hold a seminar or sell the application or equipment when such an application is really completed. Sorry to be so hypothetical, but that is still the state of affairs at this stage. If you are not interested, I do not think any response is necessary. We have written to the parties involved in this matter and have enclosed a copy of it for your reference. We would appreciate it if you could reply in about two weeks, addressed to Mr. Yukinori Nemoto, a member of the House of Representatives. I feel as though I have sent similar letters many times in the past, so I also feel that this time there is something special and new to propose. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
