Abstract: In one embodiment, a user-navigable 3-D virtual room-based user interface for a home automation system is provided. A control app renders and displays the user-navigable 3-D virtual room from a perspective defined by a virtual camera, wherein the control app renders the user-navigable 3-D virtual room based on data from at least one of a plurality of 2-D images of the physical room captured from different respective positions in the physical room.

Abstract: Non-sliding orthodontic appliances may include an archwire having male fasteners for locking in place with brackets in a non-sliding manner and interproximal loops for exerting forces on the brackets. Appropriate forces may be calculated according to vectors between initial and ideal tooth positions. The brackets may be transferred to a patient's teeth using indirect bonding trays which contain slots for holding and aligning each bracket. The trays may include integrated handles for facilitating handling, may be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier application, and/or may be labeled for facilitating proper registration. Superposition of a digital placement plan and clinical model after bonding may illustrate the accuracy of bracket placement. The archwire may comprise atraumatic ends to avoid patient discomfort. A color registration system can be used to facilitate the attachment of the archwire to the brackets. The archwire may be locked into place with the brackets using crimpable stops.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multi-tiered computing environment for balancing compute resources in support of robot operations. In an example, a robot is tasked with performing an operation associated with an airplane having an airplane model. To do so, the robot may need another operation that is computationally complex to be performed. An on-premises server can execute a process that corresponds to this computationally-complex operation based on sensor data of the robot and can output the resulting data to the robot. Next, the robot can use the resulting data to execute another process corresponding to its operation and can indicate performance of this operation to the on-premises network. The on-premises network can send the indication about the operation performance to a top-tier server that is also associated with the airplane model.
