Title: System and method for making secure data transmissions
Inventor: MORET DE ROCHEPRISE GHISLAIN
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2001-01-19
Abstract: The invention concerns a system for making secure transactions by mail-order purchasing, in particular on the Internet, with delivery of a unique and non-reusable code for each completed transaction. The system involves a third party (20, 50) between the purchaser (10) and the seller (30, 60). Said third party has a table (80) likewise stored in an electronic fill device (70) of the purchaser (10). The third party validates the purchase when the code, issued from the electronic fill device (70) and transmitted by the purchaser, is identical to a code present in the table located at the third party's. Said code advantageously comprises the value of an incremental counter associated with a certification number randomly determined when the electronic fill device (70) is initialised.

Title: Bracket for orthodontic appliance
Inventor: TAKEMOTO KYOTO
IPC: A61C7/16
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: when an orthodontic appliance is attached to the lingual side (back side) of teeth which is invisible from the outside, a large difference in level of the surface between adjacent teeth requires utilization of a wire bent in a complicated fashion. It has been found, however, that the difference in level between adjacent teeth is very small in a horizontal plane at a boundary between a crown and a root, thereby making it possible to draw a smooth envelope therealong. Based on this finding, with a view to placing a wire along such an envelope, a "lingual straight archwire" having a planar configuration comprising a simple curve and straight lines smoothly connected to ends of the curve and residing in a single horizontal plane and a bracket having a configuration suitable for the placement of the archwire are provided.

Title: Assessment of tooth structure using laser based ultrasonics
Inventor: BLODGETT DAVID W
IPC: A61B8/08
Filed: 2002-01-10
Abstract: A means of assessing the internal structure of teeth based upon use of high frequency, highly localized ultrasound (acoustic waves) generated by a short  laser pulse is presented. In contrast to traditional contact transducer methods, laser-generated ultrasound is non-contact and non-destructive in nature and requires no special tooth surface preparation. Optical interferometric detection of ultrasound provides a complementary non- destructive, non-contact means for obtaining data with a very small detectio n footprint. The combination of laser-generated ultrasound and optical interferometric detection allows for in-vivo diagnostics of tooth health tha t is sensitive to the enamel/dentin, dentin/pulp, and dentin/cementum interfac es as well as a region of dead tracts in the dentin within a tooth.
