摘要:
A bruxism monitoring device comprising a thin shell formed to the shape of and elastically retained to one or more teeth, said shell further comprising: a plurality of layers having mutually distinguishable colors, each color distinguishable from the colors of adjacent layers; and a material thickness that is greater anteriorly than posteriorly. The outer layer of the shell, when worn away by grinding action, reveals an inner layer. The regions of wear may be analyzed to determine the extent of the bruxing activity.
摘要:
A cervical collar in which a sternum brace has an extension extending below the clavicle of the patient and to which a footplate is attached so that the footplate rests on the sternum of the patient. Also, certain components of the cervical collar, for example a jaw support and the sternum brace, are secured together to permit relative sliding movement between these components. Further, to accommodate the differences in the anatomy of a child from the anatomy of adult, the jaw support is mounted to the sternum brace so that the jaw support is disposed below the shoulder of a patient and an occipital support is mounted to a back support at an angle greater than forty-five degrees.
摘要:
Apparatus for producing and dispensing a product comprises a mixer which has a first inlet for receiving a liquid, a second inlet for receiving a fluid, and an outlet. A relatively long continuous turbulence passage of relatively small cross section has one end positioned to receive the effluent from the mixer outlet and its other end spaced from the mixer outlet so that the effluent is subjected to confined turbulent mixing in the turbulence passage until the fluid product is discharged from the passage other end. If that product is to be cooled, the turbulence passage leads to a cooling area which cools and at least partially freezes the fluid product issuing from that passage. A method of producing the product is also disclosed. The invention has particular application to the making and dispensing of frozen yogurt and ice cream and allows for the serving of individualized fresh portions in a variety of flavors and with little required cleaning.

Apparatus for producing and dispensing an aerated product comprises a mixer which has a first inlet for receiving a fluid to be atomized, a second inlet for receiving a gas, and an outlet. A relatively long continuous turbulence passage of relatively small cross section has one end positioned to receive the effluent from the mixer outlet and its other end spaced from the mixer outlet so that the effluent is subjected to confined turbulent mixing in the turbulence passage until that fluid is discharged from the passage other end.

摘要:
A control mechanism for aircraft having a vertically extending, short stub with a cross bar attached to its upper end and a pair of arcuate lower members extending from the cross bar toward the forward end of the aircraft with an adjustable positioning arm on each lower member extending rearwardly and which mounts a hand grip for controlling the aircraft. In a single control mechanism, one arcuate lower member is attached directly to the stub.

An appliance for use in exercise therapy for rehabilitation of a patient's leg having a tibia which exhibits posterior subluxation, e.g., due to an injured posterior cruciate ligament of the knee, displaces the tibia in the anterior direction to correct for the tibial subluxation while, at the same time, applies a posteriorly directed force to the lower shin against which the leg is to be extended for exercise during the therapy.
摘要:
A picture frame scanner has a frame defining a display area. The frame is disposed generally upright. A transparent retention pane is mounted within the frame, spanning the display area. A support back spanning the display area is spaced apart from the retention pane. An image scanning bar is operatively mounted in the frame for moving across the display area and scanning an electronic image of media disposed between the support back and the retention pane into memory storage.
