Patent number: 8934602Abstract: An apparatus for dental and facial imaging including a rotatable gantry having an axis of rotation generally in the direction of local gravitational vertical; a source of penetrating radiation mounted on the gantry; an elongated detector for detecting radiation and producing image data, the detector mounted opposite the source on the gantry, and having a length, a long axis, and a short axis The gantry, source, and detector configured to receive the head of a patient between the source and the detector, with the axis of rotation of the gantry passing through the patient's head. The detector is mounted rotatably to the gantry and movable between a first position where the long axis of the detector is generally perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the gantry and a second position where the long axis of the detector is generally parallel to the axis of rotation of the gantry.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2012Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Dental Imaging Technologies CorporationInventors: Henry Tancredi, Edward Marandola, John Tancredi

Patent number: 8503603Abstract: For dental and facial imaging, a source of x-rays (14) or other penetrating radiation and a detector (20) are mounted opposite one another on a rotatable gantry (28), so that the head of the patient can be positioned between the source (14) and the detector (20), with the axis of rotation (36) of the gantry passing through the patient's head. The detector or the source are mounted so they can translate and/or pivot horizontally or vertically. The gantry is angulated so that the source or the detector may not be at the same height relative to the patient's head. The gantry can telescope, moving the source and the detector closer together or further apart. The collimator changes dynamically with the motion of the gantry and/or the source and detector to scan a smaller portion of the scan field.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2009Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Dental Imaging Technologies CorporationInventors: Henry John Tancredi, Edward Marandola, Frank Speranza, Omid Ebrahimi Kia

Patent number: 8290119Abstract: For dental and facial imaging, a source of x-rays (14) or other penetrating radiation and a detector (20) are mounted opposite one another on a rotatable gantry (28), so that the head of the patient can be positioned between the source (14) and the detector (20), with the axis of rotation (36) of the gantry passing through the patient's head. The detector is longer in one direction than in the perpendicular direction, generally rectangular, and is rotatable between a position in which the long axis is transverse to the axis of rotation of the gantry and a position in which the long axis is generally parallel to the axis of rotation of the gantry. The length of the detector along the long axis is sufficient for fully detailed computed CT when the long axis is transverse, and for full-face CT when the long axis is parallel.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2008Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Imaging Sciences International LLCInventors: Henry Tancredi, Edward Marandola, John Tancredi

Publication number: 20110088337Abstract: A support panel for masonry objects that includes an inner surface, an outer surface, at least one stiffening channel formed longitudinally along the support panel, a plurality of substantially c-shaped claws extending from the outer surface, the claws being disposed in spaced apart relation to one another to form a grid, wherein the claws are configured to contactingly support at least a portion of a masonry object, and wherein the support panel is attachable to a wall of a structure via at least one fastener inserted into through the at least one stiffening channel into the wall of the structure such that the panel is spaced apart from the wall of the structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2010Publication date: April 21, 2011Inventors: John Tancredi, John Cotton

Patent number: PP21940Abstract: A new cultivar of Nandina plant named ‘TUSCAN FLAME’ that is distinguishable by compact bushy habit and year round bright red foliage that displays an overall lacy effect. In combination these traits set ‘TUSCAN FLAME’ apart from all other existing varieties of Nandina known to the inventor.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2010Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Inventor: Robert John Tancredi
