Abstract: The design can be implemented in a 3D patient full arch digital workflow and workflow parts. The workflow of parts can include a STV tray. The STV tray that has a frame with a U-shaped opening resembling a bite shape of the teeth in a patient's mouth. The U-shaped opening is located in the frame of the STV tray where the teeth of the patient should be located. The frame has lips and walls to structurally form and support dental putty inserted into the U-shaped in the frame as well as secure the dental putty in place when removing the STV tray from the patient's mouth. The STV tray in cooperation with the dental putty and one or more universal scan bodies is engineered to keep blood, debris, and moisture out of a scanning field of an intraoral scanner while capturing a dental impression of a dental implant's position and an accurate tissue topology adaptation under compression.

Abstract: Information identifying a message scanning system is encoded into URLs. A document management system can decode the identifying information to verify that a document accessed via a URL was accessed by a trusted entity rather than by an unknown user. The document management system sends a message including a URL to access a document. When a message scanning system known to the document management system reviews the message for threats, it encodes its identity into a modified form of the URL in the message and uses the modified URL to access the resource. The document management system can decode the identity of the messaging system using a decoding key. Based on the identification, the document management system updates records associated with the document to include the document acce by the message scanning system.

Abstract: The present invention contributes to advancements in the art of inventory management and distribution by providing a system and method for processing, distributing, and tracking reusable inventory items. Reusable articles, such as surgical garments and accessories, are adapted with radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tags having unique identification numbers. A “reader” is used to retrieve stored information from the tags without requiring direct contact or clear line-of-sight. The reusable articles are processed and distributed using an inventory management system wherein lifecycle data is obtained for each reusable article. The reusable articles are distributed to the end users from central processing facilities, used, returned, cleaned, inspected, folded, sterilized, and returned to inventory for re-distribution. Periodic quality control inspections are conducted in response to predetermined usage parameters.

Abstract: A protective thin film adhesive dressing 10 is disclosed for use during diagnostic ultrasound exams and therapeutic ultrasound treatments. Thin film dressing 10 accommodates and covers various shaped transducers 22 and provides a sterile contact surface between a transducer's acoustic window 24 and a body 34, human or animal. Thin film dressing 10 is transparent, ultra light weight and does not change the shape or dimensions of an ultrasound probe 22 during use. Ultrasound wave freely traverse thin film dressing 10 without have a contact media such a gel 20 between acoustic window 24 and the inner surface of thin film dressing 10.

Abstract: An accommodative standoff holder 10 which can be used for both diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound is disclosed. The described standoff holder 10 has the ability to be mounted on and utilized with transducers 20 of different sizes and shapes. The standoff holder 10 includes a gel insert 26 which is removable and self adjusting assuring contact between a human body, an animal, or other object and the acoustic window 22 of a transducer 22.
