Abstract: A suction assembly employs an air induction tube to induct air into the recirculating water pump to cause the pump to cease pumping operation when the front face of the assembly is blocked. The induction tube is connected to a bleed path formed between the induction tube and a surrounding coaxial face tube extended into the assembly from the front face. When the face is blocked by hair or the like, water in the induction tube bleeds into the main chamber of the assembly and empties the induction tube. Air is then pulled into the pump, causing the pump to lose prime thereby reducing pump pressure to zero and allowing the hair or other blocking material to be removed.

Abstract: The amplifier has an input current (Ie) from a current source (Qe) and is subtracted from the current (Iref) generated by a reference source (Qref). The difference is applied to a point between two current controlled sources (2,3), one of which is constructed to invert the sign of the control signal. The outputs of both sources are coupled (6) such that the sum of both output currents are always positive independent of the direction of the difference current. The resulting output is fed to an inverting amplifier providing the output (Ia). In this way the circuit meets the requirement for a folding amplifier function of Ia = 2(a-Iref).

Abstract: An endodontic apparatus for the restoration of a dead or severely decayed tooth using induced fluorescence spectroscopy. A root canal probe having an optical fiber through its center transmits excitation light into the tooth's root canal. The excitation light induces the tissue within the root canal to fluoresce. The fluorescent light is collected by the optical fiber and transmitted back to a sensor that generates electrical signals indicative of the intensity of light within predetermined wavelength bands. The electrical signals are processed to identify the tissues within the root canal. The probe may include a slightly conical metal surface having flutes for shaving and removing dentin from within the root canal. Using the fluorescent emission properties of the tissues of components of a tooth, the entrance of the root canal is located. The root canal is cleaned and shaped and the apex of the root canal located using the difference between the fluorescence spectrum of the apex and the root canal. The root canal is sealed and filled by a light cure restorative delivered into the root canal through a tube. The light cure restorative is activated by light transmitted into the root canal by an optical fiber. The light activation and polymerization of the light cure restorative can be controlled by monitoring the intensity of the restorative's fluorescence spectrum.

Abstract: Système et méthode permettant d'ouvrir une lumière dans un vaisseau sanguin bouché, par exemple dans un pontage coronaire, chez un être vivant. Le système comprend un cathéter d'athérectomie comportant une tête de travail, telle qu'un rotor d'impaction, et un sous-système extracteur de débris. Le cathéter d'athérectomie est disposé à l'intérieur d'un cathéter guide. La tête de travail est configurée de façon à travailler par impaction, par exemple, le matériau obstructeur bouchant le vaisseau, de façon à y ouvrir une lumière, ce qui est susceptible de produire des débris. Le sous-système extracteur de débris introduit un soluté intraveineux, à un premier débit, à proximité de la tête de travail; et, par le cathéter guide, il retire ledit liquide associé à un peu de sang, à un second débit, supérieur au premier, de façon à produire un flux différentiel à proximité de la tête de travail, ce qui permet de retirer les débris dans le soluté et le sang et de les recueillir à l'extérieur de l'organisme. L'introduction du soluté peut également être utilisée pour créer un flux non équilibré à proximité de la tête de travail, de façon à pouvoir commander de manière hydrodynamique le cathéter d'athérectomie. Un guide métallique comportant un ballonnet gonflable à son extrémité distale peut être utilisé avec le cathéter d'athérectomie pour bloquer le flux de débris au niveau distal, tout en perfusant les tissus distaux avec un liquide oxygénant.
