Abstract
Method for targeted application of active agents to a target surface including: creating a digital geometric representation of the target surface; providing an array of applicators; selecting an applicator from the array of applicators based on the target surface; disposing the active agent on the applicator surface of the applicator; disposing the applicator on the target surface so that the active agent is in contact with the target surface; and removing the applicator from the target surface while leaving at least some of the active agent in contact with the target surface.
Claims18
A method for selecting an applicator, the method comprising:
- providing an array of applicators, wherein one or more applicators of the array of applicators comprises one or more active agent deposition channels;
- creating a digital geometric representation of a target structure;
- analyzing the digital geometric representation of the target structure and identifying a selected applicator within the array of applicators most suited to the target structure;
- and
- disposing the active agent upon a target structure contacting surface of the selected applicator, wherein at least a portion of the active agent is disposed on the one or more active agent deposition channels.
A method for selecting an applicator, the method comprising:
- providing an array of applicators;
- creating a digital geometric representation of a target structure;
- analyzing the digital geometric representation of the target structure, wherein the analysis comprises determining a metric, wherein the metric comprises at least one of facial size, surface area, perimeter, ear to ear distance, and flatness;
- identifying a selected applicator within the array of applicators most suited to the target structure, wherein the identification of the selected applicator comprises comparing the metric to each of the array of applicators, and wherein the selected applicator comprises one or more active agent deposition channels;
- and
- disposing an active agent upon a target structure contacting surface of the applicator, wherein at least a portion of the active agent is disposed on the one or more active agent deposition channels.
A method for selecting an applicator, the method comprising:
- providing an array of applicators;
- creating a digital geometric representation of a target structure;
- analyzing the digital geometric representation of the target structure, wherein the analysis comprises determining dimensions associated with the location of one or more features of the target surface;
- identifying a selected applicator within the array of applicators most suited to the target structure, wherein the selected applicator comprises one or more active agent deposition channels;
- projecting the one or more features upon the selected applicator selected from the array of applicators;
- creating openings in the selected applicator based on at least one of the one or more features;
- and
- disposing an active agent upon a target structure contacting surface of the selected applicator, wherein the active agent is disposed on at least one of the one or more active agent deposition channels.
