  • Publication number: 20230263595
    Abstract: Methods for visualizing treatment outcomes are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes obtaining a first 2D image of a patient's teeth from a mobile device, and obtaining an arch model representing an outcome for the patient's teeth after orthodontic treatment. The method can include matching the patient's teeth in the first 2D image to corresponding teeth in the arch model, using a parametric model. The method can also include determining a target position for the patient's teeth, based on a position of the matched corresponding teeth in the arch model. The method can further include generating a second 2D image depicting the patient's teeth in the target position.

  • Patent number: 11666416
    Abstract: Methods for simulating orthodontic treatment are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes capturing a first representation, the first representation including a depiction of a patient's teeth. The method can include building a parametric model of the patient's teeth based on the first representation, using one or more case-specific parameters for one or more shapes associated with at least one of the patient's teeth. The method can also include simulating an outcome of a dental treatment plan for the patient's teeth to produce a simulated outcome of the dental treatment plan. The method can further include modifying the parametric model to provide a modified model representing the simulated outcome of the dental treatment plan.

  • Publication number: 20220044521
    Abstract: A game terminal allows a player to participate in the linked transaction including a linked deal within an initial deal via their client account interacting with a management system. The management system manages the execution of the linked transaction including execution of the initial deal, execution of the linked deal, and movement and monitoring of capital during execution of the linked transaction. Initial deal tickets are electronically allocated to player accounts by the management system. The linked deal may be a secondary deal that is lightly linked to the initial deal. In particular, the initial deal may include an access ticket to the linked deal, and the access ticket allows the management system to grant the player a play in the linked deal. Both the initial deal and the linked deal can have prizes, and the management system may resolve those prizes, as necessary.

  • Publication number: 20210338638
    Abstract: The invention provides methods, compositions, and kits containing phentolamine for improving visual performance. In particular, the invention provides improvement in visual performance, such as improvement in visual acuity, by daily ophthalmic administration of a phentolamine solution to an eye of a patient at or near the bedtime of the patient for an extended duration while minimizing the occurrence of adverse side effects, such as eye redness during the patient's waking hours.

  • Publication number: 20200401970
    Abstract: Based at least in part on current demand and current roles of workers associated with an organization, the electronic device computes a need for a first set of workers capable of performing a type of task. Then, based at least in part on locations of a second set of workers, current roles of the second set of workers, and additional qualifications of the second set of workers, the electronic device determines dynamic reassignments to the type of task for the second set of workers. Note that the type of task is different from sets of tasks that define the current roles. Next, the electronic device provides assignment information that proposes the dynamic reassignment to the type of task for the second set of workers, and receives opt-in messages from at least a subset of the second set of workers confirming acceptance of the dynamic reassignment.

  • Publication number: 20200349632
    Abstract: An electronic device in a system splits an order for multiple prepared beverage products into a subset of the order fulfilled by a mobile store in the system and a second subset of the order fulfilled by a second mobile store in the system, where the mobile store and the second mobile store fulfill orders by fabricating prepared beverage products in a set of prepared beverage products and delivering the prepared beverage products to destination locations. Next, the electronic device provides an instruction intended for the mobile store and a second instruction intended for the second mobile store, where the instruction specifies a destination location and the subset of the order to be fulfilled by the mobile store, and the second instruction specifies the second subset of the order to be fulfilled by the second mobile store and one of: the destination location or an exchange location.
