IPC: A61C8/00
Filed: 2001-01-16
Abstract: A dental implant delivery system and assembly for inserting a dental implant into a pre-drilled bore in the jawbone is discussed. The dental implant assembly system includes an implant body to which is attached a healing cap for covering the central socket in the implant body during the healing period. The healing cap is mechanically coupled to the implant body before the insertion procedure by a coupling screw extending through bore in the healing cap into the central socket of the implant body. A recess in the bottom of the healing cap mates with a protrusion on the top of the implant body such that the healing cap is prevented from rotating relative to the implant body. A torque drive adapter engages the top of the healing cap for easy manipulation of the implant body/healing cap during the insertion procedure. The dental implant, healing cap, coupling screw and torque drive adapter are packaged together in a sterile package. Removing the top portion of the sterile package exposes the top of the torque drive adapter. A tool is attached to the adapter and used to transfer the implant to the jawbone and to insert the implant into the pre-drilled bore. The torque drive adapter is disengaged from the healing cap after the insertion procedure thereby leaving the implant body and healing cap in the jawbone.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé d'immobilisation efficace qui permet de préserver au maximum l'activité biologique d'une molécule physiologiquement active, en masquant le site actif (région) de la molécule physiologiquement active. Ce procédé d'immobilisation d'une molécule physiologiquement active consiste: (a) à faire réagir la molécule physiologiquement active avec un composé masquant qui se fixe sélectivement au site actif, afin de masquer le site actif; (b) à former un matériau de support, en introduisant sur le matériau substrat un élément de liaison qui va se fixer à la molécule physiologiquement active ainsi masquée, préparée dans l'étape (a); (c) à réguler la vitesse de la réaction d'immobilisation, dans laquelle la molécule physiologiquement active masquée préparée dans l'étape (a) se fixe à l'élément de liaison sur le matériau de support formé dans l'étape (b); et (d) à immobiliser la molécule physiologiquement active masquée préparée dans l'étape (a) sur le matériau de support, en la faisant réagir avec l'élément de liaison sur le matériau de support formé dans l'étape (b). Ce procédé peut en outre comporter une étape (d) qui consiste à éliminer le composé masquant de la molécule physiologiquement active masquée. On optimise la vitesse de la réaction d'immobilisation dans cette invention, en régulant la fraction molaire du groupe de réaction sur le matériau de support, la concentration (ou le nombre de moles) de la molécule physiologiquement active, le pH de la solution de réaction, la durée de la réaction, la température de réaction et le type de réactif de couplage pendant la réaction d'immobilisation.

Abstract: A combustion apparatus is provided comprising a container (1) and an air tube (2) with an end (7) which dips below the surface (6) of a volume of water (4). Thus, upon application of a negative pressure differential between an outlet tube (3) and the surface (6) air is drawn through the tube (2) in order to create bubbles (11) at an end (7) of that tube (2). These bubbles (11) undergo catastrophic expansion in order to release water particles which are drawn into an entrained flow with air towards an inlet manifold or air intake of a combustion engine. These water particles in appropriate ratio facilitate more efficient combustion and therefore engine operation.

Abstract: An ergonomic reading stand for holding books, catalogs, etc. consists of a right and left support, a bracket, a pivoting shaft with knurled screws and a base. The slant of the book can be variably adjusted by releasing the knurled screws (on both ends of the pivoting shaft) and by displacing the shaft forwards or backwards, in relation to the base. Threaded pins for adjusting the sliding resistance that is generated when the pivoting shaft is displaced are provided on the underside of the pivoting shaft, below the right and left slide bearing. The bracket is used to hold down the book pages and can be adjusted to the thickness of the book by a displacement parallel to the lower bearing surface. The bracket can be pressed down to enable the pages to be turned rapidly. After the bracket has been released, it springs back into its original position.

Abstract: A secondary reservoir (16) is filled with a liquid medicine by a fixed
amount via a liquid transfer path (18) from a primary reservoir (10) for
storing the liquid medicine to be nebulized. When a liquid supply button
(40) is slid to left, an operating rod (42) pushes a piston (20) and power
supply switch turns on. As piston (20) moves to left, the liquid medicine in
secondary reservoir (16) is pushed, thereby moving a valve (22) to left and
opening a liquid transfer path (24). Then, a nebulizing part is supplied
with the fixed amount of liquid medicine from secondary reservoir (16), and
thus performs nebulization. Thus, a liquid nebulizing apparatus is
attained, in which a constant amount of liquid is transferred to the
nebulizing part to stabilize the nebulization, and in which such a function is
realized at low costs.

Filed: 2002-03-26
Abstract: A liquid-quantity monitoring apparatus includes: a
piezoelectric device (106) having a vibrating part (176) capable of being
exposed at least partly to a liquid-containing space, the
piezoelectric device (106) being capable of vibrating the vibrating
part by a given drive signal and of generating a signal
representing back electromotive force generated by vibration
of the vibrating part; and a liquid-quantity determining unit
for determining a quantity of liquid remaining in the
liquid-containing space, to which the vibrating part is
exposed, based on a resonance frequency of a residual
vibration signal output from the piezoelectric device (106) due
to a residual vibration of the vibrating part after the
vibrating part has been vibrated by the drive signal. The
liquid-quantity determining unit counts a number of pulses
included in the residual vibration signal, measures a time
period necessary for counting a predetermined number of
pulses after starting counting the pulses, and determines
the quantity of the liquid based on the time period measured.
The liquid-quantity determining unit repeats a pulse-counting
operation for counting the predetermined number of
pulses with different starting time points, and decides that
a measurement is incorrect when differences between the time
periods are greater than a predetermined allowable limit.
