Abstract: An improved drill guide apparatus, for drilling a dental implant socket in a patient's jawbone, provides for multi-axial adjustment of the angular orientation of the drill bit. This adjustability is accomplished by disposing a guide tube within a spherical swivel ball that is rotatably retained, in ball-and-socket fashion, within a template formed on a model of the affected portion of the patient's jaw. The guide tube projects outward from the swivel ball, through an opening in the template, so that it can be manipulated about any axis, in "joystick" fashion, to orient the guide tube as desired. Once the guide tube is in the desired position, it may be fixed in place relative to the template, after which the template may be positioned in the patient's mouth and then a drill bit may be inserted through the guide tube to drill an implant socket in the patient's jawbone. In alternative embodiments, the swivel ball is slidably mounted within a housing so that both the lateral position and the angular orientation of the socket can be adjusted.

IPC: G02F1/225

Abstract: A method for controlling an optoelectronic component that includes two waveguides (3 and 4). The refractive index of the first waveguide (3) is changed periodically with a first control signal (1), the amplitude of which is changed between a first amplitude level (I) and higher second amplitude level (II). The refractive index of the second waveguide (4) is changed periodically with a second control signal (2), the amplitude of which is changed between the aforementioned first amplitude level (I) and a lower thi rd amplitude level (III). When the control signals are on their common first amplitude level (I), the refractive indices of the waveguides are equal and the phase difference between them is zero. When the first control signal is on the second amplitude level (II) and the second control signal on the third amplitude level (III), the refractive indices of the waveguides are unequal so that their mutual phase difference has a predetermined target value. For accelerating a phase-difference change both control signals are adjusted during both the rise and the fall time periods simultaneously so that their combined effect leads to a very fast phase difference change, which settles already before the refractive indices of the waveguides are settled.

Abstract: A clamp may have an outer base member with an inner ramp surface and an inner clamping member with an outer ramp surface abutting the inner ramp surface of the base member. The inner clamping member may have an inner clamping surface for engaging an element to be clamped, such as a film. The inner and outer ramp surfaces are configured such that, with said clamping member backstopped, compression of the base member toward the film forces the clamping member to slide along said inner ramp surface of the base member. The result is that the film is tugged by the clamp. This tugging force may be used to stretch the film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for enrolling a user for voice authentication and for performing voice authentication on a user of a network. The method of enrolling a user for voice authentication includes verifying the identity of the user and assigning an enrolment identifier to the user, if the identity of the user is verified. The enrolment identifier is then presented to the user. Subsequently, the user is prompted to utter a personal voice authentication password. The personal password uttered by the user is received and stored. A voice print model for the user is generated from the previously stored voice print. The method further includes storing the voice print model and associating the voice print model and the personal password with the enrolment identifier assigned to the user to facilitate retrieval thereof during voice authentication of the user. A method for performing voice authentication on a user of a network is also provided. The method includes determining whether the user is enrolled for voice authentication based on an available attribute of the logical address of the user on the network. Upon determining that the user is enrolled for voice authentication, a personal password and stored voice print model for the user is retrieved. The stored voice print model includes a voice print of a personal password previously uttered by the user. The method further includes prompting the user to utter the personal password and receiving a spoken response from the user. The spoken response is verified to determine whether it contains the personal password and whether it matches the stored voice print model. If the spoken response contains the personal password and matches the stored voice print model for the user, the identity of the user is authenticated.
