Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, an automated computer implemented system aggregates foreign exchange data and graphically commingles a franchise price and an aggregated price. The system comprises a computer processor coupled to a storage mechanism, an aggregator server, an orders server and an interactive user interface. The computer processor is programmed to: aggregate data from a plurality of market data sources representing a plurality of different underlying markets; generate an aggregated price based on the aggregate data; generate a price attributed to a franchise entity; and provide, via the interactive user interface, an aggregate price in a first graphical representation and a franchise price in a second graphical representation.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, an automated computer implemented system aggregates foreign exchange data and graphically represents a change in spread. The system comprises a computer processor coupled to a storage mechanism, an aggregator server, an orders server and an interactive user interface. The computer processor is programmed to: aggregate data from a plurality of market data sources representing a plurality of different underlying markets; generate an amount view, based on the aggregated data, that illustrates smart liquidity with respect to a moving average based on a predetermined time period plus two standard deviations; and provide, via the interactive user interface, an interactive amount view with a slope that represents a change in spread between a bid and an offer.

Abstract: An approach for seismic data analysis is provided. In accordance with various embodiments, the active learning approaches are employed in conjunction with an analysis algorithm that is used to process the seismic data. Algorithms that may employ such active learning include, but are not limited to, ranking algorithms and classification algorithms.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to optimize a network that is formed from a plurality of nodes. The instructions cause the processor to execute an order that the plurality of nodes perform a probing operation. The order is typically round robin. The processor receives a request from a client that identifies a next node to perform the probing operation. Based on the request, the processor changes the order so that the next node performs the probing operation after the current node that is performing the probing operation has completed the operation.

Abstract: An aerosol delivery system for dispensing a multi-component dental composition is provided. The system is particularly suitable for dispensing dental impression material containing mixed components A and B. The system includes a dispensing device having an inner container with pressurized aerosol chambers. The first chamber is used for storing and dispensing component A, and the second chamber is used for storing and dispensing component B. The dispensing device includes a piston assembly having a first piston member that slides within the first chamber and a second piston member that slides within the second chamber. The pistons force the components into a common manifold, and the combined material is fed into a dispensing tip containing a static mixer, wherein the material is mixed and then dispensed.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of forming dental restorations, particularly dental crowns. The method involves applying a flexible cement composition to a prepared tooth surface. The composition is polymerized so that it substantially hardens. A composite crown-forming material is dispensed into a substantially transparent plastic matrix. The matrix is placed in the mouth of the patient so that the composite material is molded over the tooth surface. Then, the material is irradiated with curing light, through the matrix, so that it hardens to form a dental crown. The crown has good mechanical strength and is resistant to fracturing and breaking.

Abstract: A dental impression material comprising a polyvinylsiloxane and a surfactant, wherein said surfactant imparts wettability to the composition, such that the material has a surface contact angle with water of less than about 10 degrees after about 15 seconds.

Abstract: The present invention includes a dental restorative material for use in for example, class 1 & 2 posterior cavity restorations. The inventive material includes a modified BisGma resin. The invention also includes a method of restoring a damaged tooth that includes the application of bonding agent, applying energy such as by warming the material so that it can be extruded, and placing the material into the tooth cavity.
