CPC Class B33Y

A last system and a method of making the last system are disclosed. The last system includes a last member and an exterior layer. The exterior layer becomes deformable when heated above a characteristic temperature. The method can include forming a braided footwear component on the last system. The exterior layer may be joined with the braided footwear component by heating the last system above the characteristic temperature.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a continuous analyte sensor, such as a continuous glucose sensor. One such system utilizes first and second working electrodes to measure additional analyte or non-analyte related signal. Such measurements may provide a background and/or sensitivity measurement(s) for use in processing sensor data and may be used to trigger events such as digital filtering of data or suspending display of data.

A footwear having a sole customized to a wearer's anatomy, the sole formed by receiving a 3D model of a sole having a volume, generating a structural lattice inside the volume of the sole, updating the structural lattice to provide strength while using reduced material, optimizing the structural lattice to maximize energy absorption by the sole, and 3D fabricating the sole with the optimized structural lattice; and sensors coupled to the sole to detect foot pressure and movement data. In one embodiment, the footwear communicates with a network to monitor the wearer's health, the network having computer code to: saving the weight and movement data from the footwear into a health data repository separate from the clinical data repository; mining the clinical data repository and health data repository for patients sharing similarity with the wearer, including one or more similar biomarkers associated with health conditions; identifying at least one similar health conditions and identifying one or more corrective actions recorded in the repository and the result of each action for the one or more health conditions; presenting the corrective action and result to the wearer and recommending an action to reduce risk from the predicted health condition; and monitoring the health condition using updates in the clinical data repository and health data repository.

A microsurgical handle and instrument may include an actuation structure having an actuation structure distal end and an actuation structure proximal end, a plurality of actuation arms of the actuation structure, and an actuation structure base. A compression of the actuation structure may be configured to extend the actuation structure distal end relative to the actuation structure proximal end. A compression of the actuation structure may be configured to expand an extension joint of an actuation arm of the plurality of the actuation arms. A decompression of the actuation structure may be configured to retract the actuation structure distal end relative to the actuation structure proximal end. A decompression of the actuation structure may be configured to collapse an extension joint of an actuation arm of the plurality of actuation arms.

This invention designs and builds multiple layers (two layers or more) of various dental devices, specifically denture base or denture, where printed multiple layered denture base with teeth cavities to receive artificial denture tooth materials to form final dental devices, such as partial and full dentures. It can also print denture teeth. This invention also designs and prints multiple layers (two layers or more) of denture base with artificial denture teeth to form final dental devices, such as partial and full dentures. A method for manufacturing a layered denture is provided. The invention provides a multiple layered denture base materials for printing a denture base. The invention also provides a multiple layered denture tooth materials for printing artificial denture teeth. Highly shape adjustable or shape memory polymer layer(s) may be used in these multiple layered denture base forms. Different layer of material has different mechanical and physical properties to meet different need, which provide added benefits to the patients, dental professional and dental laboratory.

A method for preparing a partial or full dental prosthesis comprising
