Abstract: In a dental prophylaxis angle, an angle housing defines a main passageway and an ancillary passageway communicating therewith and extending at an substantial angle thereto. A drive shaft extends through the main passageway, while a cup holder is rotatably disposed in the ancillary passageway, the cup holder being drivingly coupled to the drive shaft. A flexible prophy cup is mounted to the cup holder, and a bearing is rotatably disposed in the main passageway about the drive shaft. The bearing has a snap-lock element projecting into a recess provided in the housing, thereby fixing a longitudinal position of the bearing with respect to the housing and holding the drive shaft in driving engagement with the cup holder. The prophy cup is coupled to the cup holder via a ball and socket joint and is provided in a region about the ball and socket joint with a flexible skirt defining an annular groove, the cup holder having an annular seat projecting into the groove. The seat preferably has an outer surface inclined at an angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the cup holder. The skirt engages the outer surface of the seat and bends upon such engagement during use of the prophylaxis angle. In addition, the prophy cup is provided with outwardly extending projections in the groove, the seat being formed with inwardly extending teeth meshing with the projections for driving the cup. The prophy cup may also include on the interior of its flexible skirt a retaining extension that is held by an opposing retaining base of the cup holder.

Abstract: The method uses a vehicle 1, having a sender pulse generating device 2 fitted to its gearbox 3, at the start of a track 4 of known length. The track 4 has a starting marker 5 and a finishing marker 6, e.g. V-blocks at spaced intervals on the track 4, activated by an antenna mounted on the vehicle 1. A signal processing means 7 counts the integral number of pulses and determines the fractions of a pulse length at the starting and finishing markers 5,6. A microprocessor controls the signal processing combining time intervals, which represent fractions of a pulse length at the starting and finishing markers, with the integral number of pulses effectively to add both fractions to the pulse count and thus accurately determine how many pulses and what fraction of a pulse is generated when the vehicle travels, over the track 4, between the starting and finishing markers 5,6.

Abstract: A catheter having expandable electrodes for applying energy to a hollow anatomical structure such as a vein. When used on a vein, the catheter is useful for a minimally invasive treatment of venous insufficiency. The catheter includes conductive end rings to which the electrodes are attached, for mechanically connecting and electrically tying electrodes together to provide for single wire electrical connection points, for transmitting energy while more evenly spacing the electrodes. Expandable arms are formed of electrically conductive material and insulated along their length except for an intermediate section that functions as the electrode. The arms are tapered to allow more room for wiring and to reduce the possibility of shorting between the ends of the arms. The catheter further includes thermocouples in the electrodes for measuring temperatures on the outer surface of the electrode. Slots are formed in the arms for mounting the thermocouples. The temperature at the hollow anatomical structure is monitored and if a rapid, large temperature decrease of short duration is noted, the power is maintained constant as a fluid flush has been detected.
