Abstract: A method for re-programming a radio head unit in an automotive vehicle by a special “app” in a personal cellular (wireless) telephone.

Abstract: A method for restoring local control to at least portions of a radio head unit in a motor vehicle when communication between a personal cellular (wireless) telephone, which has been paired with the radio head unit, and a telephone of a remote party is placed “on-hold” while both telephones are “off-hook”. Also a disclosed is a method for re-programming the radio head unit by a special “app” in a personal cellular (wireless) telephone.

Abstract: A dispensing station according to the present invention includes a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, the plunger of which forces prepackaged materials from two tubes or a dual tube housing through a dispensing tube. The dual housing keeps the A and B materials separate until they are forced out by pneumatic cylinder. A knob adjusts the air pressure to pneumatic cylinder in response to a foot pedal. Alternatively, time and pressure can programmed into a device for metering materials. The device for metering materials can be set to adjust the pressure from pneumatic cylinder by outlet tubes and meters dispensing of the combined A and B materials through other tubes. The combined materials are dispensed onto a work product, such as a dental model which rests on a base support, for producing a dental device. A pole is vertically mounted on the base support. The combined unit comprising pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, two tubes or a dual tube housing and associated structure is adjustably mounted on the pole.

Abstract: A method for making a dental appliance is disclosed, including affixing a first blank piece of material to a second blank piece of material forming a combined blank. The first blank piece of material is substantially softer than the second blank piece of material. The combined blank is then placed over a dental cast with the first blank piece of material faces the dental cast, and a dental appliance is formed by using a thermal form suck-down of the combined blank over the dental cast with the first blank piece of material in contact with the teeth of the dental cast. Finally, the dental appliance is removed from the dental cast. The dental appliance can be trimmed while it is on the dental cast or after it is removed.

Abstract: A mouthguard that has an integral tethering strap is packaged by forming a loop at the distal end of the strap and then folding the strap back over the front of the U-shaped mouthguard body so as to nest the loop within the U-shaped body. The mouthguard is then ensealed in a transparent plastic clamshell enclosure. The enclosure is assembled to a paperboard carrier which contains cut-outs that are symmetrical about a line of folding for a flap portion of the carrier. When the flap is folded back onto the carrier, the margin of the clamshell is trapped. A second flap opposite the first one is also folded back onto the same side of the carrier as the first flap. The opposing faces of this second flap and the carrier contain a warranty card and a warranty certificate.
