摘要：
An applicator comprises a first structural element which has a shape determined according to a digital geometric representation of a target structure, the applicator further comprises an active agent located according to a diagnostic scan of the target structure.
技术问题语段：
The patent text discusses various methods for affecting target structures, such as temperature, appearance, and biological targets. However, the effectiveness of the active agent may be influenced by the applicator used to facilitate the interaction with the target structure. The technical problem addressed in the text is the need for a precision application implement that can conform to the geometry of the target structure to improve the performance of the active agent.
技术功效语段：
The patent describes a method for making an applicator by creating a digital representation of the structure, making the applicator with the target structure on top, and then adding an active agent to the target structure. The technical effect is a more precise and accurate way of making an applicator that can be used to apply an active agent to a target structure.
权利要求：
CLAIMS
What is claimed is:
1. An applicator comprising:
a. a first structural element having a shape formed upon a mold or surface created from a digital geometric representation of a target structure;
b. the first structural element including an active agent.
2 The applicator of claim 1 wherein the active agent is located according to data from a diagnostic scan of the target structure.
3 The applicator of claim 1 wherein the active agent is disposed onto the surface of the applicator.
4. The applicator according to Claim 1 , the first structural element further comprising indicia located according to the data from a diagnostic scan of the target structure.
5. The applicator according to Claim 4„ wherein the indicia comprise an active agent disposed upon a portion of the applicator at a location determined according to the diagnostic scan.
6. The applicator according to Claim 5, wherein the active agent is releasably attached to the applicator.
7. The applicator according to Claim 1, wherein a portion of the applicator comprises an
elastomeric material.
8. The applicator according to Claim 1, further comprising a second structural element, at least a portion of the second structural element comprising a shape determined from the three- dimensional scan of the target structure, the second structural element disposed adjacent to the first structural element, wherein at least one spatial cavity having a defined volume and location, the cavity volume at least partly defined by portions of the first and second structural elements, is disposed between the first and second structural elements.
9. The applicator according to Claim 8, further comprising an active agent disposed in the at least one spatial cavity.
10. The applicator according to Claim 8, wherein at least one of the cavity volume and location is determined according to the diagnostic scan.
11. The applicator according to Claim 1, the applicator comprising physical properties
determined according to corresponding physical properties of the target structure.
12. The applicator according to Claim 1, the applicator comprising physical properties
determined according to an interaction with the target structure.
13. The applicator according to Claim 1, wherein the geometry of the first structural element is determined according to the digital geometric representation and diagnostic scans.
14. A kit for the application of an active agent to a target structure, the kit comprising:
a. an applicator comprising:
i. a first structural element having a shape determined from a digital
geometric representation of a target structure;
ii. indicia located according to data from a diagnostic scan of the target
structure;
b. an active agent adapted for deposition upon at least a portion of the indicia.
15. The kit according to Claim 14, further comprising a key associated with the deposition of the active agent upon a surface of the first structural element, the key determined according to the diagnostic scan.
