Abstract: An apparatus provides a warning of propeller rotation or CO/CO2 hazard in a marine craft and includes a sensor in communication with the propeller to directly or indirectly sense rotation of the propeller and to generate a signal in response to the hazard, a controller coupled to the sensor to process the signal from the sensor, and a sensory alarm coupled to the controller to generate a warning alarm signal when the sensor returns a signal indicative of a predetermined state of hazard, namely actual rotation of the propeller from a nonzero rpm to a user or factory defined rpm or CO/CO2 levels at or above a predetermined maximum.

Abstract: An apparatus is comprised of an applicator for selectively applying a hydrostatic force on a work material contained within the applicator, a tip coupled to the applicator for conducting the work material to a distal end of the tip, and a one-way, pressure-controlled valve defined into the distal end of the tip to selectively open the valve upon application of pressure on the work material supplied to the tip from the applicator and to selectively close the valve and prevent withdrawal or pull back of the work material back into the tip when the pressure on the work material supplied to the tip from the applicator falls below a predetermined value.

Abstract: An apparatus provides automatically controlled facial rejuvenation treatments and is comprised of a scanner for scanning a patient's face, a treatment robot, including a plurality of dermatological devices for treatment of facial skin, and a computer coupled to the scanner and robot for determining a treatment protocol of the patient's face based on a scanned input of the patient's face and for generating a plurality of commands for the treatment robot for movement and/or control of the plurality of dermatological devices for the automated treatment of the skin of the patient's face. A dermatological laser, needle injector, and/or air injector are used. The needle injector injects a minute amount of substance at a multiplicity of points within a computer-identified treatment area on the patient's face.

Abstract: The invention is a messaging subsystem used in combination with a software based intercom system for receiving and handling voice telephone calls from a plurality of callers and/or notes. The invention comprises a message pad module resident in the intercom system for capturing information pertaining to the voice telephone calls from the plurality of callers and/or notes. A database stores information obtained from the callers and/or notes other than the captured information. A computer module or program correlates the captured information to the corresponding stored information obtained from the callers and/or notes in the database. In the preferred embodiment, the database comprises a patient treatment database corresponding to treatment provided to a patient, such as a dental or medical history.

Abstract: An on-line continuing education course is conducted by a web server. A user takes the on-line course and may stop at any point during the course. The server keeps an account of the user's journey through the course by saving the exact position where the user left. Depending upon the course of instruction, the user could be credited for a partially completed course with fractional credits if so stated in the course description. Thus, the user may resume the course at any subsequent time and the server will take the user to the exact point where he left off. The server also keeps a record of the number of correct answers the user may have scored, and, thus, any credit he may have already earned in a prior session of the same course.
