20090306939 | Dental analysis method and system - A dental analysis system and method for designing the dentition of a patient, comprising the steps of: providing a visual representation of the dentition, inputting a value representative of the number of teeth on a side of the dentition, inputting at least two quantities taken from a group consisting of a ratio, an inter-teeth distance and a central incisor width, computing the position of the teeth within the dentition by applying a mathematical function to the value representative of the number of teeth on a side of the dentition and the at least two quantities and juxtaposing positioning lines over the visual representation of the dentition, the positioning lines indicating the position of the teeth as computed. | 12-10-2009 |
20130158958 | DENTAL ANALYSIS METHOD AND SYSTEM - A system for designing the dentition of a patient, comprising a first input for providing an image of the smile of the patient to the system, an output, a processor for computing and applying a first set of visual indicators onto the image of the smile of the patient through the output, the first set of visual indicators indicating ideal positioning of the teeth of the patient, and for computing and applying a second set of visual indicators onto the image of the smile of the patient through the output, the second set of visual indicators providing adjustment of positioning of the teeth of the patient, a memory having stored therein a library of 2D digital images of smiles and associated 3D dentition models, a user interface for selecting a desired 2D digital image to be applied to the image of the smile of the patient and adjusting the second set of visual indicators, the adjustment of the second set of visual indicators modifying the 2D digital image, wherein the processor modifies the 3D dentition model associated with the 2D digital image and provides a virtual wax-up of a dental restoration of the dentition of the patient. | 06-20-2013 |

20100185468 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING GUARANTEED INCOME - The present invention is directed towards a computerized method comprising receiving one or more contributions for an annuity from a qualified plan. At a first time, the method computes a first benefit base of the annuity based at least in part on the one or more contributions and determines a first guaranteed withdrawal amount as a function of the computed first benefit base. At a second time, the method computes a second income base based at least in part the one or more contributions and any amounts withdrawn from the annuity and determines a second guaranteed withdrawal amount as a function of the computed second benefit base. | 07-22-2010 |

20090124459 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EXERCISING ABDOMINAL MUSCLES - The present invention provides a device for improving posture, including a housing, a power supply disposed within the housing; a first communication element coupled to the housing, an actuation mechanism coupled to the housing, where the actuation mechanism selectively electrically couples the first communication element to the power supply, and a clip coupled to the housing and engageable with a belt. The clip may include a substantially thin wire and the housing may be sized such that engagement of the clip with the belt positions a substantial portion of the housing behind the belt and out of view. | 05-14-2009 |

20090315297 | TRAILER - Improved trailers (e.g., semi-trailers) are disclosed. The trailers may include a floor having a top surface and a bottom surface, where the top surface is adapted to transport a payload, and an elongated shell connected to the bottom surface of the floor, where the elongated shell defines a portion of a substantially closed torsion-resistant chamber of the trailer. The trailers may have a torsion resistance that is substantially higher than conventional trailers of similar size and/or load capacity. The trailers may weigh substantially less than conventional trailers of similar size and/or load capacity. The trailers may realize a bending resistance that is at least equivalent to the bending resistance of conventional trailers of similar size and/or load capacity. | 12-24-2009 |

20090075383 | COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT DELIVERY OF NUCLEIC ACIDS TO CELLS USING CHITOSAN - There is disclosed a composition and a method for the efficient non-viral delivery of nucleic acids to cells using chitosan. In order to achieve high efficiency of transfection, the composition contains a nucleic acid and a chitosan that has the following physico-chemical properties: a combination of a number-average molecular weight between 8 kDa and 185 kDa and a degree of deacetylation between 72% and 92%. The chitosan molecule can also present additional physiochemical properties such as a block distribution of acetyl groups obtained by a heterogeneous treatment of chitin, and/or a polydispersity index between 1.4 and 7.0. By correctly controlling these parameters, efficient delivery systems may be produced that are effective when optimized for different conditions such as the pH of transfection media and amine-to-phosphate ratio. | 03-19-2009 |
