Publication number: 20220168077Abstract: Provided herein is a method of making a flexible partial denture, which may include: (a) producing a partial denture base by additive manufacturing (e.g., bottom-up or top-down stereolithography) from a dual cure resin, with the dual cure resin comprising a light polymerizable component and a heat polymerizable component, with the denture base including at least one tooth socket; (b) inserting an acrylic artificial tooth into each at least one tooth socket to produce an assembled intermediate product; and then (c) baking said assembled intermediate product for a time sufficient to cure said heat polymerizable component in said denture base and retained dual cure resin, bond said tooth into each at least one socket with said retained dual cure resin, and produce said flexible partial denture. A flexible partial denture produced and resin formulations useful for the same are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2022Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventor: Marie K. Herring

Publication number: 20200351233Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes determining if notifications to be sent to user would benefit from being delivered by haptic stimulation under a current context. This determination may be made by accessing historical notification data of how the user previously responded to notifications in a similar context, and ranking conversion scores for each of one or more haptic-enabled delivery channels, wherein a conversion score indicates a probability of the user interacting with the notification. The most appropriate haptic message-delivery channel is selected based on the scores and historical data, and the notification is sent accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Inventors: Ramesh Raskar, Nafissa Yakubova, Ahmad Byagowi, Marie K.
