  • Publication number: 20240268941
    Abstract: A container for cleaning an orthodontic appliance comprising a first component having a first set of bristles arranged in a first array and a second component having a second set of bristles arranged in a second array, the second set of bristles extending toward the first set of bristles when the container is in a closed condition. The first component is rotatable relative to the second component to clean the orthodontic appliance positioned within the container. The first component can be releasably lockingly engageable with the second component to clean the orthodontic appliance as the first and second sets of bristles frictionally engage the orthodontic appliance on opposite sides.

  • Patent number: 11792199
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for authenticating a user account with a synchronized content management system are disclosed. A synchronized online content management system may receive a request from a client device to access content in the content management system via a web browser that is running on the client device. The system may identify that a client-side application for the content management system has been installed on the client device and that the client-side application is already logged into a user account with the content management system. The system can cause the web browser to open a local host connection to the client-side application such that the web browser may be able to obtain from the client application some user account identifying information for the user account. The system can then cause the web browser to log into the user account by using the user account identifying information.

  • Publication number: 20230139531
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor and a non-transitory memory. The processor is configured to receive pre-operative patient specific data. The pre-operative patient specific data is inputted to a first machine learning model to determine a first predicted post-operative joint performance data output including first predicted post-operative outcome metrics. A reconstruction plan of the joint of the patient is generated based on a medical image of the joint, and at least one arthroplasty surgical parameter obtained from the user. The at least one arthroplasty surgical parameter is inputted into a second machine learning model to determine a second predicted post-operative joint performance data output including second predicted post-operative outcome metrics.

  • Patent number: 11438524
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to automated rack imaging. According to an example, a system for imaging a face of a rack includes a camera and lighting array, a positioning system, a computer system and a wheeled platform. The array includes multiple cameras located in a first plane orthogonal to a second plane and each camera has a first field of view in a first axis of the second plane. Collectively, the first fields of view extend from one end of the face to another end of the face. The positioning system is operable to move the array from a starting point to an ending point via multiple intermediate points along an axis in a third plane parallel to the first plane. The computer system (i) causes the cameras to capture images at the starting, intermediate, and ending point; (ii) stitches the captured images together; and (iii) stores the resulting image.

  • Patent number: 10200421
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating shared virtual spaces using a client device. For example, the disclosed systems receive a request from a user to share one or more digital content items with other users via a shared virtual space. The disclosed systems queue a request to send data to a content management system to create the shared virtual space. In some instances, the disclosed systems can determine that a connection between a user's client device and the content management system is below a threshold connectivity, and then simulate an online experience for the user despite the poor connection.

  • Patent number: 10142309
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology enable users to sign in to an account without a password. For example, when receiving a request to register a device with an account, a user can be prompted to enter their email address. In response, two tokens are generated. A first token is sent to a client application on the device and the second token is sent to the user's email. The user can then only login to their account with the device if the device has both tokens. Thus, if someone intercepts the email, they will be unable to login from another device since they don't have the first token. If the client token and email token cannot be automatically joined on the same device, a web page showing a code can be displayed on a first device, which can be entered on the second device to finish login process.

  • Publication number: 20180189764
    Abstract: A system and method for booking peer-to-peer asset transactions, dynamically assessing risk associated with the transactions, and generating custom insurance policies for the transactions. A risk profile is created for the asset, an owner of the asset, and a potential renter of the asset based on data about the asset, data about the owner, and data about the potential renter, respectively. A risk analysis is performed based the risk profiles of the asset, asset owner, and potential renter, and other information, such as a duration and a location associated with the transaction. This risk analysis is used to provide an insurance premium for the transaction and generate a custom insurance policy when the transaction is booked. Payment may also be taken to complete the transaction.

  • Patent number: 9942121
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for ephemeral eventing. Ephemeral eventing may involve sending metadata portions associated with content items from a user device to a content management system prior to uploading the content portions of the content items. The content management system may then assign the content items to one or more events. The event assignments may then be sent back to the user device, allowing the content items to be locally displayed according to their events as if the content items had already been uploaded to the content management system.

  • Patent number: 9923851
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for providing content management features in a messaging service. A messaging client receives a reference to a content item stored on a content management system and receives, from the content management system, a set of sharing options for the content item. The set of sharing options is presented to the user via the messaging client and a user selection of sharing options is received. The messaging client sends the user selection of sharing options to the content management system, wherein the content management system is configured to apply the user selection of sharing options to the content item.
