摘要:
A fluid conditioning system is adapted to condition the fluid used in medical and dental cutting, irrigating, evacuating, cleaning, and drilling operations. The fluid may be conditioned by adding flavors, antiseptics and/or tooth whitening agents such as peroxide, medications, and pigments. In addition to the direct benefits obtained from introduction of these agents, the laser cutting properties may be varied from the selective introduction of the various agents.
摘要:
A laser handpiece is disclosed, including a shaped fiber optic tip having a side-firing output end with a non-cylindrical shape. The shaped fiber optic tip can be configured to side-fire laser energy in a direction away from a laser handpiece and toward sidewalls of a treatment or target site.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to water heaters adapted to be mounted on or proximate the roof of a structure such as a building (e.g., residential home, commercial building, etc.). The liquid to be heated can be water, or other liquid, in different example embodiments. In certain example embodiments, at least one vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit is provided as part of the water heater structure in order to help preserve heat that has been absorbed and/or generated.

The subject invention provides a myricanol compound that is in predominant form of (+)-αR,11S-myricanol as compared to (−)-αS,11R-myricanol. In one embodiment, the (+)-αR,11S-myricanol is isolated from Myrica cerifera, and is in about 86% enantiomeric excess of (−)-αS,11R-myricanol. The subject invention also pertains to therapeutic compositions and methods for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular, neurodegenerative diseases associated with abnormal accumulation of protein tau. Specifically exemplified herein is the therapeutic use of myricanol and myricanone isolated from root barks of Myrica species. Also provided are methods for preparing extracts of the subject invention from Myrica species.
摘要:
A method for protecting access to health information. The method includes presenting a graphical user interface for accessing health information. The health information may include a health record which includes at least one item. A request to access the health record is received and the health record is retrieved from a data store. The items of the health record are filtered based on a source of the request to access the health record. A portion of the health record may be displayed.

Architectures and techniques for treating conditions of the eye, such as presbyopia, utilize sources of treatment energy, such as electromagnetic energy emitting devices, to implement non-corneal manipulations. According to these devices and methods, the sources of treatment energy are activated to direct energy onto parts of the eye, such as the conjunctiva and sclera, to treat presbyopia. The treatments can affect at least one property of the eye and enhance an accommodation of the eye.

摘要:
An output match circuit is coupled between the terminal of a high-frequency device and a ground terminal. The output match circuit includes an LC shunt and an LC notch serially coupled to the LC shunt, wherein the LC notch includes a resonant capacitive element in series with a resonant inductive element. The LC notch may simply include a resonant inductive element coupled directly to the ground terminal. The series inductive element may have a terminal coupled between the resonant capacitive element and the resonant inductive element.

Dynamically exposing relationships among entities contained in data stores. A method disclosed herein can include receiving data related to a given object that is contained in a given data store, and dynamically determining one or more relationships between the given object and one or more further objects. These relationships can include group memberships, management relationships, containment relationships, or the like. As the data related to the stored objects changes, the relationships among the objects can be updated. Once the relationships are defined, representations thereof may be presented to a user via a suitable user interface. The user interface may present these relationships as graphic icons, hypertext, or the like, and may further depict the dynamic relationships distinctly from static directory listings. The user may then navigate these relationships by interacting with these representations.
摘要:
An illumination device is described containing optical fibers that transmit electromagnetic energy from a source to a target. Additional optical fibers return reflected electromagnetic energy from the target. High-level electromagnetic energy can be used for cutting, reforming, or treating a surface. Low-level electromagnetic energy illuminates the surface.
