Abstract: An expandable and collapsible pouch for accommodating an orthodontic appliance while not is use. The pouch may be selectively and repeatedly coupled to a variety of objects. After selectively coupling the pouch to a desired object, the user opens the pouch by expanding at least one collapsible wall or side. The user then removes their orthodontic appliance, inserts it into the open pouch, and then closes the pouch by letting the pouch contract. When the orthodontic appliance is needed again, the user removes the appliance from the pouch and lets the pouch contract into its original position flush against the surface of the object. The pouch is coupled to the object via a magnet disposed within the pouch that is configured to interact with the surface of the object. The pouch also includes a second magnet which assists the pouch maintain a closed position while an appliance is inserted therein.

Abstract: A method for improving 3D intraoral scans performed at home which allows the dental professional to directly fill in any missing 3D image data with pre-existing 3D image data that was previously obtained from the patient. After the at home intraoral scan is completed, the patient transmits it to the dental professional who then reviews it and determines whether or not the at home intraoral scan comprises any missing 3D image data required for producing a complete and accurate 3D model. If the self-intraoral scan is complete, the dental professional may transmit it directly to an appliance manufacturer. However, if the at home intraoral scan is incomplete and comprises missing 3D image information, the dental professional may instead complete the provided scan by comparing it with the reference intraoral scan. The improved scan is then sent to the appliance manufacturer who may then produce the required appliance.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning the touch or display touch or display surface of an electronic device such as a cell phone or computer tablet comprising a wiper coupled to cleaner bar. The cleaner bar moves longitudinally and/or laterally across the electronic device with the wiper in contact with the touch or display surface. The wiper comprises both a moist pad and a dry pad. The moist pad is fluidly communicated to a reservoir defined within the cleaner bar. On its “cleaning stroke”, cleaning fluid is released into the moist pad and then deposited onto the touch or display surface. The cleaner bar moves longitudinally across the touch or display surface by manual or motorized means. The cleaner bar may also be in communication with the electronic device to detect when a task has been completed on the electronic device. After detection, the cleaner bar automatically traverses the touch or display surface, thereby cleaning it after every use.

Abstract: The following invention is an apparatus and method for quickly determining the type of bracket implanted on patient's tooth. A radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip is coupled to or in an orthodontic bracket. The bracket or series of brackets are then implanted on the patient's teeth as required. With the RFID in or on the bracket, the orthodontist or staff uses a scanner to read the brackets. The information read by the scanner allows the staff to select the correct corresponding bracket needed for replacement from an inventory. Confirmation of the correct selection is obtained by another scan from another scanner located in the bracket holding device. Not only does this process ensure that the correct replacement bracket is received by the patient, but also provides the orthodontist and staff with a real-time tracking of inventory supply.

Abstract: The invention provides means and a method for temporarily or permanently coupling three dimensional blocks together commonly used in toys or puzzles. After the blocks have been assembled, a low current is sent through the blocks in order to notify a user that the blocks have been properly configured. The current through the blocks is then increased which activates a means for coupling the blocks together including a plurality of electrodes, a series of magnetic apertures, a plurality of resin pouches, or a combination thereof. After the blocks are coupled together, the current flow is stopped, leaving the blocks temporarily or permanently in the last position in which they were placed before the increased current was applied. In some embodiments, the blocks may be disassembled, placed into a new configuration, and then recoupled as many times as desired.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for manipulating three dimensional image data. The apparatus takes each multiplanar view (MPR) obtained by a medical imaging device, such as an x-ray machine, of an area of the patient being examined and automatically “slices” the view in each direction sequentially. Each “slice” is then displayed to the user in order to make a running video. The user is allowed to stop the process when he or she sees the clearest view of the examined area of the patient and may save that image in a static computer record. Alternatively, the user may select to display a corresponding two dimensional x-ray image at that selected view. The user may then allow the video to continue to run and repeat the process for other selected views. The software automatically makes every relevant “slice” from every relevant view, allowing the user to stop, slow down, or back up when nearing a view which is desired to be studied or saved.

Abstract: An apparatus provides a warning of propeller rotation or CO/CO2 hazard in a marine craft and includes a sensor in communication with the propeller to directly or indirectly sense rotation of the propeller and to generate a signal in response to the hazard, a controller coupled to the sensor to process the signal from the sensor, and a sensory alarm coupled to the controller to generate a warning alarm signal when the sensor returns a signal indicative of a predetermined state of hazard, namely actual rotation of the propeller from a nonzero rpm to a user or factory defined rpm or CO/CO2 levels at or above a predetermined maximum.
