Patent number: 7499760Abstract: A dental lamp includes a control system adapted to control operation of a light source within the dental lamp. The control system requires that an unexpended light guide including a recordable medium be coupled to a lamp head of the dental lamp, in order to illuminate the light source. The control system records a first data signal on the recordable medium during illumination of the light source indicating that the light guide has been expended. The control system also records a second data signal onto a second recordable medium so that a particular duration of use of the light source may be indicated.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2005Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Discus Dental, LLCInventors: Eric P. Rose, Robert Hayman, Bruce Sargeant

Patent number: 4976424Abstract: In an exercising apparatus for supporting a bicycle, a pivotally mounted member connects to a rear axle of the bike to constrain movement of the axle about the pivot point of the support member. A support roller, located on the horizontally opposite side of the rear axle as is the pivot point, cooperates with the support member to support the rear wheel. A flywheel and variable load means are conneced to the roller to simulate the inertia and variable load experienced during the riding of a real bicycle. Preferably, a front fork support connects to the front fork of a bicycle and has an adjustable feature which can change the elevation of the bicycle frame. The front fork support is inclined and connected to this rear axle support member so that when a rider of a bicycle connected to the apparatus leans toward or shifts his weight toward the front fork support, the front fork support bends and the rear tire of the bicycle pivots toward the roller to maintain frictional contact between the tire and roller.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1988Date of Patent: December 11, 1990Assignee: Schwinn Bicycle CompanyInventors: Bruce A. Sargeant, Mark J. Hoffenberg, Rob Reasons, Robert A. Walpert
