Publication number: 20120106812Abstract: Various methods and systems for designing a restored smile are provided. One method includes receiving scan data of a patient's teeth, developing a digital model of the patient's teeth via a computing device, where the model represents the patient's teeth based upon the scan data, creating a dental treatment plan to restore one or more teeth from an initial condition to a successive condition, and wherein a final condition of the one or more is based on the one or more teeth having at least one planned additional restorative tooth structure provided therewith.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2012Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: Align Technology, Inc.Inventors: Michelle Stone-Collonge, Eric E. Kuo, Rick Matty, Fabio Pettinati, Thomas Maurer, Dzmitry Sanko

Publication number: 20110268326Abstract: Virtual cephalometric imaging includes creating a first 3D virtual model and a second 3D virtual model of a patient's dentition. The first 3D virtual model is based on a first impression taken of the patient's dentition at a first time. The second 3D virtual model is based on a second impression taken of the patient's dentition at a second time. The first and the second 3D virtual models are correlated. A 2D image is generated including a first outline representing a position of at least one tooth of the patient's dentition according to the first 3D virtual model and a second outline representing a position of the at least one tooth according to the second 3D virtual model. Generating the 2D image includes positioning the first outline relative to the second outline according to the correlation of the first and the second 3D virtual models.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2010Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: ALIGN TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Eric E.

Publication number: 20110010391Abstract: An interface for identifying one or more contacts is used to access and provide contact information to one or more interested parties or applications in a controlled manner. Various criteria can be used to identify which contacts will be presented to a user and how they will be presented in such a way as to facilitate access to the corresponding contact information. An API is used to handle and pass contact information on to requesting applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2010Publication date: January 13, 2011Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Fabio Pettinati, John-Anthony Owens, Jonathan D. Perlow, Cornelis K. van Dok, Denise L. Chen, Marc A. Silbey

Patent number: 7802191Abstract: An interface for enabling a user to quickly access contact information automatically displays a list of expected contacts that are most likely to be selected by the user when attention is directed to an appropriate object requiring contact information. When a contact is selected, the corresponding and appropriate contact information is automatically entered. If a user does not select a listed contact, but instead begins manually typing in the contact information then the interface performs a search and displays a list of unexpected contacts having contact information matching the typed input from the user. Various criteria can be used to identify which contacts will be presented to the user and how they will be presented.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2008Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Fabio Pettinati, John-Anthony Owens, Jonathan D.

Patent number: 7430719Abstract: A contact text box interface for resolving user input with contact information selected from contact directories and compared against usage patterns. Users are provided with a list of potentially relevant contacts from which a selection can be made. When a contact is selected, the corresponding and appropriate contact information is automatically provided to the application. Various criteria can be used to identify which contacts will be presented to the user and how they will be presented.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2004Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Fabio Pettinati, John-Anthony Owens, Jonathan D.

Publication number: 20050246325Abstract: A method and system for recording and accessing usage of an item allows a user to select from a list of previously used items across a computing system. A relationship is established between a used item (e.g., a contact) and a usage pattern. The usage pattern records the number of times that the item is accessed. The usage pattern is available across the system such that multiple applications may retrieve the usage pattern to obtain information associated with a particular item. A weight factor associated with the relationship is generated and implemented in a ranking scheme. When a user begins typing the name of an item in a data field, the user is presented with a list of previously created items based on the ranking scheme. The user then selects the desired item from the list such that typing time is shortened and the user experience is enhanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2004Publication date: November 3, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Fabio Pettinati, Dejan Subotic, Jon Perlow
