    摘要: Generation of output or reports on information contained in a data source which may be any of two or more types of source data, in a standardized or uniform manner is provided. A plurality of drivers (804a-804d) are provided specific to different types of source data sources (806a-806d) e.g. for use in defining a new database (808). Preferably the new database (808) is configured to permit highly flexible and/or rapid output or reporting or is otherwise optimized for reporting purposes. In one embodiment, the present invention includes conversion of one or more data sources (806a-806d) into one or more uniform databases (808), preferably generating one or more key categories for organizing the data, optionally generating category groupings or rollups and additional data or optional references (815). In another embodiment, one or more databases (901-910) are created which have a degree of uniformity of structure, eventhough they may be based on two or more different data sources which may have very different structures. The different data sources are automatically analyzed and this analysis can be used to identify and/or create categories of data for use in organizing the information.

    摘要: The present invention relates to apparatus (5) and method for the controlled delivery of fluid. The apparatus (5) comprises chemical reactants (65, 70) which combine to generate gas and create pressure to drive a fluid (20) from a container (17). The reactants (65, 70) and the environment in which the reaction occurs are controlled, thereby causing the fluid (20) to be delivered from the device (5) at a predetermined flow rate.

    摘要: A method for the manufacture of artificial teeth, either replacement whole teeth or crowns, whereby a tooth is produced by machining from a layered block of synthetic plastics materials, the layers being of predetermined varying color (hue), chroma, value and translucency to simulate the pulp, dentine and enamel layers in a real tooth, thereby providing an artificial tooth with the distribution and depth of color of a real tooth. The process provides for varying the tooth color by milling the tooth from a different section of the layered block to vary the thicknesses of the layers, at least at the labial, mesial, distal and occlusal surfaces, so as to obtain a custom tooth matched very closely to a patient's real tooth color and pattern. The process permits the manufacture of an artificial tooth from materials with a hardness closely matching that of a real tooth to provide similar wear properties.
