Abstract: A method allows transferring references from vertices, edges, and faces of a solid or surface model to an edited model, by finding correspondences between vertices, edges, faces, and bodies of the models. The method begins by quickly finding matching bodies and aligning them, considering factors such as size, complexity, and the location of its vertices, edges, and faces. For every pair of matched bodies, it then matches exactly coincident vertices, edges, and faces. Of the remaining unmatched topology, it matches edges and faces in the new model that overlap those of the old model considerably. It uses near-neighbor structures to speed up the search for correspondences by eliminating old-new pairs of vertices, edges, and faces that do not overlap. Finally, it iteratively matches unmatched vertices, edges, and faces whose adjacent vertices, edges, and faces are in exact correspondence between the old and new models.

Abstract: The fixed space regainer is a resin band designed to regain space in the gap between the remaining teeth when a tooth is lost. The band has opposing concave ends that provide bonding surfaces or anchors that attach to the remaining teeth on opposite sides proximal to the gap and an elongate connecting band between the bonding surfaces. The regainer is made from a biocompatible elastic material so that the connecting band will arch when installed across the gap and exert resilient pressure against the remaining teeth proximal to the gap to regain the space lost by narrowing that occurs by loss of the tooth, thereby providing proper spacing for growth of a permanent tooth or installation of a cosmetic replacement. The regainer may be designed by the dentist in software from a digital impression and made by 3D printing or additive manufacturing.

Abstract: An organic light emitting diode (OLED) utilizes dysprosium incorporated tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3-Dy) as the emissive layer. The OLED, which can be fabricated as a multi-layer device with each layer having a thickness of 30-300 nm, provides a luminance value at a voltage ranging from 24V to 30V of 3000-15000 cd/m2. In comparison to similar OLEDs which utilize pure Alq3, the diodes with the Alq3-Dy layer provide an electroluminescence intensity 20 times higher than diodes with a pure Alq3 layer (Alq3 OLED). In addition, the peak position (EL emission band) of the Alq3-Dy OLED is shifted to the higher wavelength side by 10 nm compared to that of the pure Alq3 OLED (from 515 nm to 525 nm).

Abstract: Gaze tracking data representing a user's gaze is analyzed to determine one or more regions of interest. One or more gaze tracking error parameters are determined from the gaze tracking data including a rate of rotation of a user's eye with respect to one or more axes.

The one or more transmitted images are selectively compressed so that fewer bits are needed to transmit data for portions of an image outside the one or more regions interest than for portions of the image within the one or more regions of interest.
