Abstract: The present invention includes systems, methods, and devices for interactive media sharing including a non-transient computer readable storage medium storing a set of instructions for accessing a media item from a first computing device, identifying a first position-of-interest on the media item from a memory component of the first computing device, displaying the media item on a second computing device, identifying a second position-of-interest on the media item from a memory component of the second computing device; generating an area-of-interest surrounding the first position-of-interest; comparing the second position-of-interest with the area-of-interest to determine whether the second position-of-interest intersects with the area-of-interest.

Abstract: Compositions having a curable unsaturated compound, an adhesion promoter and curing agent which have a peak exotherm of less than 50.degree. C. are disclosed. The compositions when cured are flexible bioadhesives which are also disclosed. Non-curable diluents can be included in the compositions. Flexible bioadhesives formed on biological structures and having low peak exotherms upon curing of curable compositions to form the flexible bioadhesives are disclosed. Compositions having a curable unsaturated compound and a curing agent and a peak exotherm of less than 50.degree. C. are included in the invention.

Abstract: An arrangement, for use in whitening a patient's teeth includes an arched surface and an array of light-generating devices, for example, light emitting diodes positioned on the arched surface. The light-generating devices are arranged to form a relatively uniform field of light in a particular range of wavelengths, and further arranged to focus the generated light in an overlapping manner onto a patient's teeth when the mouthpiece is properly positioned relative to the patient's face. The proper positioning is aided by a number of light sources, in the visible range, that shine on the patient's face in a predetermined manner when the mouthpiece is properly positioned. To remove whatever heat is generated at the surface of the patient's teeth in the course of the procedure, the mouthpiece includes air passages between the light emitting devices, and a fan that draws air away from the patient's face.

Abstract: A tooth whitening service module and an associated procedure for whitening teeth that can efficiently handle a large number of clients. The method involves whitening a client's teeth in a tooth whitening service module that provides a discrete infrastructure dedicated to performing the tooth whitening procedure. The tooth whitening procedure is performed on two or more clients simultaneously, thus allowing for treatment of a large volume of clients as they flow through the tooth whitening service module.
