Publication number: 20190347628Abstract: The disclosure relates to an improved technology protocol for a distributed cryptocurrency system with built-in measures to mitigate volatility of a subject cryptocurrency. The distributed cryptocurrency system may include a number of computer nodes connected via a network. At least some of the nodes may programmatically implement all or portion of a cryptocurrency protocol that programs the nodes to stabilize the value of a subject cryptocurrency. As such, the protocol includes a distributed, decentralized set of programmatic rules for mitigating price volatility of the cryptocurrency. The protocol may include a state determination mechanism to assess whether interventive actions to stabilize a value of the cryptocurrency is triggered. The protocol may electronically expand or contract the supply of the cryptocurrency through use of three different types of electronic tokens that are functionally distinct from one another and that each play a role in expanding or contracting the supply of the cryptocurrency.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2018Publication date: November 14, 2019Applicant: Intangible Labs, IncInventors: Nader AL-NAJI, Lawrence DIAO, Brian FREYBURGER

Publication number: 20150351871Abstract: A computer is used to create a plan for repositioning an orthodontic patient's teeth. The computer receives an initial digital data set representing the patient's teeth at their initial positions and a final digital data set representing the teeth at their final positions. The computer then uses the data sets to generate treatment paths along which the teeth will move from the initial positions to the final positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2015Publication date: December 10, 2015Inventors: Muhammad Chishti, Kelsey Wirth, Andrew Beers, Huafeng Wen, Phillips Alexander Benton, Timothy N.

Patent number: 7874837Abstract: Methods and corresponding apparatus for segmenting an orthodontic treatment path into clinically appropriate substeps for repositioning the teeth of a patient include providing a digital finite element model of the shape and material of each of a sequence of appliances to be applied to a patient; providing a digital finite element model of the teeth and related mouth tissue of the patient; computing the actual effect of the appliances on the teeth by analyzing the finite elements models computationally; and evaluating the effect against clinical constraints. The appliances can be braces, polymeric shells, or other forms of orthodontic appliance.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Align Technology, Inc.Inventors: Muhammad Chishti, Elena I.

Patent number: 6626666Abstract: A system for repositioning teeth comprises a plurality of individual appliances. The appliances are configured to be placed successively on the patient's teeth and to incrementally reposition the teeth from an initial tooth arrangement, through a plurality of intermediate tooth arrangements, and to a final tooth arrangement. The system of appliances is usually configured at the outset of treatment so that the patient may progress through treatment without the need to have the treating professional perform each successive step in the procedure.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2001Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: Align Technology, Inc.Inventors: Muhammad Chishti, Apostolos Lerios, Brian Freyburger, Kelsey Wirth, Richard Ridgley
