Abstract: Systems and methods for rapidly and reliably determining an arch width of a patient's dental arch. A three-dimensional (3D) model of a patient's teeth, including a target tooth, can be received. Dental features from the 3D model may be extracted. The dental features may include a point of intersection between an occlusal surface of a tooth and a long axis of the tooth. An arch width between the target tooth and an opposing tooth may be determined based on the extracted dental features.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed for controlling internet-connected devices having embedded systems with dedicated functions. A lightweight software that protects the internet-connected devices from security breaches and security threat is installed on the internet-connected devices. The lightweight software sends network traffic data to a management server via one or more rendezvous servers. The management server analyzes the network traffic data and generates a security update. The security update is posted on a blockchain. The lightweight software obtains the security update in the form of a blockchain transaction.
