Abstract: A dental composition comprising a pre-reacted particulate mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) dispersed in a polymer matrix wherein the content of MTA in the composition is in the range of 20 to 50 percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: A dome structure that is comparable to a 3V geodesic dome, but only requires two strut lengths. Therefore, it can be fabricated by producing just one triangular frame, 52 times. The 52 triangle frames fasten directly to each other with simple fasteners. No hubs, or special brackets are required. Furthermore, the footprint of the dome easily fits to a square support, and is even on both axes. In the case where hubs and/or brackets are used to connect struts, the variation in the angles by which the struts extend from the hubs is also reduced to just two.

Abstract: A utensil having a handle portion, a utensil portion, and a connector. The handle portion having a dual design consisting of a first surface with a first decorative handle design and a second surface with a second decorative handle design. The utensil portion has an upper surface and a lower surface. The connecter attaches the handle portion to the utensil portion, such that the connector allows the first and second decorative handle designs to vary relative to the upper surface and the lower surface of the utensil portion.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for measuring pressure on a member. The systems and methods include exciting the member to create a vibratory response in the member and detecting the vibratory response. The vibratory response is then compared to at least one of a plurality of previously recorded vibratory responses of the member. The pressure on the member is then estimated based on the comparison of the vibratory response to the plurality of previously recorded vibratory responses.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for measuring pressure on a member. The systems and methods include exciting the member to create a current vibratory response in the member and detecting the current vibratory response. The current vibratory response is then compared to at least one of a plurality of previously recorded vibratory responses of the member. The pressure on the member is then estimated based on the comparison of the current vibratory response to the plurality of previously recorded vibratory responses.
