Publication number: 20240138958Abstract: An indirect bonding (IDB) tray that can be positioned over a single tooth of a patient. The IDB tray can include a well to receive an orthodontic bracket therein. The IDB tray can be 3D printed with a rigid photopolymer material and a soft photopolymer material. The soft photopolymer material may be disposed on a gingival portion of the IDB tray such that the soft photopolymer material can be positioned proximate the gums of the patient to improve patient comfort and/or accommodate gum remodeling due to tooth movement. The soft photopolymer material may be disposed around an inner periphery of the well to facilitate bracket insertion and/or release from the well. The IDB tray can include separation indicia indicating where the IDB tray can be sectioned. The IDB tray can include long axis lines to indicate proper orientation of the IDB tray on a patient's one or more teeth.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Todd Oda, Monica Y.

Patent number: 11779521Abstract: Various aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a compounder system having a cartridge that includes controllable fluid pathways. One or more rotary piston pump/valves may be used to move fluid and/or gasses through the various fluid pathways of the cartridge. For example, the cartridge may include a dedicated rotary piston pump/valve for each process that moves fluid and/or gas through the cartridge. When turning, the rotary piston pump/valve acts as a pump to move the fluid or gas, and when the rotary piston pump/valve stops turning, it effectively acts as a shutoff valve, preventing any fluid flow. Magnetic couplers for the cartridge may be provided on a pump head of the compounder system.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: CAREFUSION 303, INC.Inventors: Todd Oda, Dereck S.

Publication number: 20230233771Abstract: Syringes are described herein. A syringe includes a syringe body, a first plunger, a biasing member, and a retention member. The syringe body defines a syringe cavity and a syringe port, wherein the syringe port is in fluid communication with the syringe cavity. The first plunger comprises a first plunger shaft extending from the first plunger, the first plunger disposed within the syringe cavity and defining a first chamber in the syringe cavity, wherein the first chamber is in fluid communication with the syringe port. The biasing member is coupled to the first plunger shaft, wherein the biasing member urges the first plunger to advance toward the syringe port. The retention mechanism prevents the biasing member from advancing the first plunger in an engaged position and permits the biasing member to advance the first plunger in a released position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Todd Oda, George Mansour, Eugene Mason
