  • Publication number: 20230381067
    Abstract: A method and system for applying colored dental adhesive and a high-resolution decal to the surface of a person's tooth. The colored dental adhesive is formed by combining dental adhesive with a food grade colorant. The high-resolution decal is formed by printing a design on a paper substrate. Before application of the colored dental adhesive, the tooth is cleaned and etched with a phosphoric acid compound. The colored dental adhesive is applied to the surface of a tooth. The decal is then placed on colored dental adhesive, and the colored dental adhesive is cured. Additional layers of dental adhesive may be applied on top of the decal.

  • Patent number: 11786897
    Abstract: A magnetic shape memory (MSM) microfluidic device may include a flexible membrane positioned between a channel and an MSM element. The MSM element may engage the flexible membrane to deform the channel at portions of the flexible membrane that are adjacent to non-contracted portions of the MSM element.
