Abstract: A dental apparatus adapted for penetrating and cleaning the interstices and interproximal surfaces between the teeth, the surfaces at and below the gum margins, and the tooth-gum interfaces including the grooves and crevices thereof, is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a neck portion interconnects an elongated handle portion and a head portion, with the head portion being angled upwardly of the handle portion. A plurality of tufts of bristles are fixedly attached to the face of said head portion, said tufts of bristles having wedge means and conforming means to enable penetration into and cleaning of said interstices, surfaces and interfaces. A single row of a plurality of tufts of bristles, disposed substantially perpendicularly of said handle portion, has the free end of each of said plurality of tufts which are disposed at said end of said head portion beveled, said bevel sloping upwards from a vertex formed at said free end of the outermost bristle in each of said tufts. The tufts of bristles also have a plurality of bristles of varying lengths such that a concave surface generally corresponding to the convex configuration of the surfaces of the teeth is formed by the said free ends thereof. The longer bristles have the firmness substantially the same as the bristles of conventional hard-bristled toothbrushes and the shorter bristles have the firmness substantially the same as the bristles of conventional medium-bristled toothbrushes. In accordance with the concept of the present invention, the contours and configuration of the tufts of bristles in combination with the relative lengths and firmness thereof, afford a convenient and reliable apparatus and method to penetrate and clean the hard-to-reach surfaces and embrasures of the tooth-gum interfaces.

Date Aug. 10, 1989.An antenna for a wide bandwidth electromagnetic field polarized in a predetermined direction at right angles to the field propagation direction includes plural metal elements that are not resonant in the bandwidth. The metal elements are excited to transduce an electric field in the polarization direction over the bandwidth range. The plural elements have an extent in the polarization direction no greater than an order of magnitude of the shortest wave length in the bandwidth. A structure between the element, which may be either a coil or parallel electrodes which derive a displacement current, transduces a magnetic field having lines of flux at right angles to the polarization and propagation directions. The electric and magnetic fields are excited by power from the same source with phases so that in an interaction region of the field between a pair of the metal elements there is ExH synchronism and a radiation Poynting vector having rotational E and H fields to transduce the electromagnetic field.

Abstract: An instruction buffer for a digital computer controls the flow of instruction stream to an instruction decoder (32). As each instruction is consumed, a shifter (70) removes the consumed bytes and repositions the remaining bytes into the lowest order positioned. The byte positions left empty are filled by instruction stream bytes retrieved from one of a pair of prefetch buffers (64, 66) or from a virtual instruction cache (28). One prefetch buffer (66) is filled from the instrction cache (28) after being emptied, but prior to those particular bytes being requested to fill the instruction decoder (32). The two-level prefetching allows the relatively slow process of cache access to be performed during noncritical time.

Abstract: A multipurpose hemofiltration system and method are disclosed for the removal of fluid and/or soluble waste from the blood of a patient. The system and method are equally applicable to adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The system continuously monitors the weight of infusate in a first reservoir and drained fluid in a second reservoir and compares those weights to corresponding predetermined computed weights. When necessary, the pumping rates of the infusate, drained fluid and blood are adjusted in order to achieve a preselected amount of fluid removal from the patient's blood in a preselected time period. Application of this system and method provide repeatable and highly precise results.

Abstract: Injection molding apparatus wherein a heated probe (40) extends into a well (44) in a cavity plate (46) having a generally spherical forward end (88). The forward end of the heated probe (40) has at least one conical tip (98) which extends outwardly at an angle into a conical recess (90) leading to the gate (92). Each conical recess (90) has an included angle of at least 90 DEG  and the conical recess (90) and conical tip (98) extend outward along the same central axis at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the probe. This allows the tip (98) to extend fully into the recess (90) without interfering with withdrawal for cleaning or repair. The included angle of the conical tip (98) is substantially less than the included angle of the conical recess (90) which gradually accelerates the flow of melt as it approaches the gate (92). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A surgical forceps (10) particularly useful in least invasive surgery includes an elongate probe formed of an outer tubular member (12) and an inner member (18) movable in the outer probe member, stationary and movable jaws (24,26) coupled with the distal ends, respectively, of the outer and inner probe members, and a handle (150) squeezable to move the movable jaw relative to the stationary jaw to rearwardly or forwardly cut tissue or to grasp tissue. A force diverting mechanism (166,172) is responsive to the force applied to the handle exceeding a predetermined force to provide the surgeon with an indication of the excessive force and protects the jaw components at the distal end of the surgical forceps. A suction passage is formed in the forceps for aspirating cut tissue and assisting the positioning of tissue between the jaws, and suction can be produced continuously or controlled via the handle. The handle includes locking and latching mechanisms (184,178) to hold the jaws in a closed position.

In a subsequent drying step, the bulk of the liquid medium is removed while leaving the water-repellent material deposited in the pores of the earthenware body. In this way, subsequent entry of water and freezing and cracking is resisted. It has also been discovered that the treatment also enchances the ability of the earthenware surface to receive decals and the like without the need for glazing and an additional firing step.
