Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for generating and displaying a model of a subject's teeth. Described herein are intraoral scanning methods and apparatuses for generating a three-dimensional model of a subject's intraoral region (e.g., teeth). These methods and apparatuses may be used for identifying and evaluating lesions, caries and cracks in the teeth.

Abstract: Intraoral scanning systems for displaying 3D models of a patient's dental arch and near-IR images from the dental arch. These systems may include a wand with one or more image sensors and processors for processing the 3D models and near-IR information. The 3D models may include surface (e.g., color) information and the near-IR images may include information on internal structures, including enamel and dentin.

Abstract: A Line Interface Unit (LIU) can communicate a number of electromagnetic waveforms consistently fitting into a variety of specific waveform masks, such as masks defined by ITU-T G.703. The LIU includes a transmit part that includes a feedback controller that facilitates the LIU outputting electromagnetic waveforms consistently fitting into the specific waveform masks. The feedback controller can compensate for changes in environmental conditions, such as supply voltage, line profile, line impedance per protocol, doping gradient, and temperature. Also, this feedback controller allows for avoiding constant hardware modifications to the LIU for adjusting to different protocols or masks. It also can enable the LIU to instantiate a great number of times, such as twenty-one times on the same die, where the transmit part performs the feedback controller independently for each instantiation.

Abstract: A method for document management includes automatically extracting respective features from each of a set of documents. The features are processed in a computer so as to generate respective vectors for the documents, each vector including elements having respective values that represent properties of a respective document. A similarity between the documents is assessed by computing a measure of distance between the respective vectors. The documents are automatically clustered responsively to the similarity so as to identify a cluster of the documents belonging to a common document type. Similar methods may be used in supervised categorization, wherein documents are compared and categorized based on a training set that is prepared for each document type.
