Abstract: A method of treating malocclusions of teeth may include receiving a scan of a patient's teeth and generating a treatment plan to move a patient's teeth from a first position toward a second position. The treatment plan may include moving a jaw from a first position towards a second position. The treatment plan may include a series of jaw movement stages to move the jaw from the first position towards the second position. The method may include generating a digital model of an aligner having mandibular relocation structures. A location of the mandibular relocation structures may be based on a set of location constraints. The method may include fabricating a physical aligner based on the digital model of the aligner.

Abstract: A method for geometric modelling method performed by a data processing system on a geometric model including a kernel and associated applications, the method includes receiving data for an object to be processed by the kernel, generating a standalone object for a user interface application of the geometric model, and storing the standalone object. A data processing system is configured for modelling a product according to the method.

Abstract: A method for geometric modelling method performed by a data processing system on a geometric model comprising a kernel and associated applications comprises receiving data for an object to be processed by the kernel, generating a standalone object for a user interface application of the geometric model and storing the standalone object. A method and a data processing system for modelling a product are provided.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for taking snapshots in a deduplicated virtual file system may include (1) maintaining a deduplicated virtual file system that stores, at an original location within a non-virtual file system, at least one configuration file storing metadata for a target file and an extent map for the target file, the extent map defining how to construct the target file from deduplicated data segments in a deduplicated storage system, (2) receiving a request to take a snapshot of the target file corresponding to the configuration file, (3) copying the configuration file storing metadata for the target file and the extent map for the target file into a snapshot location within the non-virtual file system, and (4) transmitting a file reference request to the deduplicated storage system to add a file reference within the deduplicated storage system. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
