Abstract: A system for creating customized root canal obturation cores is provided. The system receives a 3D image data set representing one or more teeth. The system then displays an image of a tooth of the one or more teeth. After receiving at least one user input, the system constructs a 3D output data set from the 3D image data set based on the at least one user input. Next, the system converts the constructed 3D output data set to control data. A computer controlled manufacturing system can use the 3D output data set to manufacture a customized root canal obturation core.

Abstract: A core for obturating a root canal includes a body that has a pre-formed contour that closely matches a contour of the root canal. When the core is inserted in the root canal with or without sealer, there are essentially no voids in the root canal. A method of making a customized root canal obturation core includes generating a three-dimensional image of a root canal. The method also includes manufacturing the customized root canal obturation core based on the three-dimensional image of the root canal. The customized root canal obturation core has a preformed contour that closely matches a contour of the root canal such that when the core is inserted in the root canal with or without sealer there are essentially no voids in the root canal.

Abstract: An improved optoelectronic device is described, which employs optically responsive nanoparticles and utilises a non-radiative energy transfer mechanism. The nanoparticles are disposed on the sidewalls of one or more cavities, which extend from the surface of the device through the electronic structure and penetrate the energy transfer region. The nanoparticles are located in close spatial proximity to an energy transfer region, whereby energy is transferred non-radiatively to or from the electronic structure through non-contact dipole-dipole interaction. According to the mode of operation, the device can absorb light energy received from the device surface via the cavity and then transfer this non-radiatively or can transfer energy non-radiatively and then emit light energy towards the surface of the device via the cavity. As such, the deice finds application in light emitting devices, photovoltaic (solar) cells, displays, photodetectors, lasers and single photon devices.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for analyzing nested tubulars via electromagnetic (EM) logging. An example method includes operating an EM logging tool within tubulars nested within a wellbore. The EM logging tool includes an EM transmitter and multiple EM receivers. Data obtained via the EM receivers is utilized to estimate an individual thickness of each tubular at each of multiple depths within the wellbore. The estimated individual thicknesses are utilized to estimate a cumulative thickness of the tubulars at each depth. Local variations of the estimated cumulative thicknesses are utilized to distinguish between actual and spurious indications of differences between the estimated individual thicknesses at neighboring depths.
