Abstract: A system for repositioning teeth a patient from an initial tooth arrangement to a final tooth arrangement includes a plurality of incremental position adjustment appliances, each having an arrangement of cavities shaped to receive and reposition teeth of the patient. The cavities in at least one appliance in the system have a different geometry than that of at least one other appliance in the system. At least some of the appliances in the system are successively worn by the patient to exert force on at least one tooth and move the teeth of the patient from a first arrangement to a successive arrangement different from the first arrangement. The system includes a first multilayer shell with a bending stiffness factor less than about 0.1 GPa*mm3 and an elastic modulus no greater than about 1.5 GPa; and a second shell with a bending stiffness factor greater than 0.1 GPa*mm3.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for micro-patterning organic layers of OLEDs. The disclosed methods do not require applying pressure to the film, nor do they require heat treatment, surface treatment or fast release rate of a stamp from the substrate. The disclosed methods are particularly advantageous over the conventional shadow masking techniques for providing large array fabrication with small features. In one embodiment of the disclosure, one or more organic films are selected for the OLED as a function of their individual or combined sublimation temperature. The material is selected in view of the depth and shape of the features that are to be formed in the organic layer. The disclosed embodiments can provide minimum feature size of 13 ?m which is suitable for high resolution OLED displays.
