Patent number: 11083548Abstract: An orthodontic bite plate has a body with an anterior base for bonding attachment to the lingual surface of an upper anterior tooth, and an occlusal stop having an incisal surface extending across the lingual aspect of the body to limit upward movement of the patient's lower teeth. A vertical channel divides the body gingival to the occlusal stop into opposing lateral wings that are capable of being compressed together by application of a lateral compressive force to deform the base and thereby release the orthodontic bite plate from the tooth. At least one horizontal channel separates the occlusal stop and lateral wings. Optionally, the occlusal stop can include a vertical member that extends gingivally into the vertical channel between the lateral wings.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Inventor: Todd Evan Dickerson

Publication number: 20210015009Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for generating a healthy energy vortex within a space through an earthing effect. The system may comprise a plurality of copper-clad earthing poles encompassing a perimeter of an area. Each earthing pole of the plurality of earthing poles may be completely submerged underground, may contact a plurality of healthy negative ions underground, and may not contact a separate structure. Each adjacent pair of earthing poles may be separated by a distance suitable for generating the healthy energy vortex through the earthing effect. Each earthing pole may further comprise a cap of grounding enhancement material and a wire connecting the earthing pole to adjacent earthing poles. The system may further comprise a plurality of magnet pairs disposed underground outside of the perimeter of the area encompassed by the plurality of earthing poles.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2020Publication date: January 14, 2021Inventors: John A.

Publication number: 20200281162Abstract: The present invention is directed to the prevention of EMF wave damage to the cells of living creatures. The invention features a collar that may comprise a base strip comprising a webbing material and having two ends with a fastener disposed on each end. The fasteners may comprise Velcro, buckles, or any other medium that allows for the attachment of surfaces. The collar may further comprise a container holding a remediation material that converts chaotic EMF waves into non-damaging waves. The container may be disposed on a surface of the collar and covered by a label. The fasteners may connect in a way such that the base strip is formed into a non-twisting loop with the container and label disposed on an outward-facing surface of the loop.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2020Publication date: September 10, 2020Inventors: John A. Robbins, Todd Evan Fligner

Patent number: 10589203Abstract: A filter device includes a device housing (2) removably accommodating a filter element (26) with an element material (28) extending between two end members (32, 34). One end member (34) has a wall member (46) of a polygonal shape inserted into an accommodating space (66) of an accommodating member (36) attached to the device housing (2). The accommodating member (36) also has a polygon-shaped wall member (68). The wall members are disposed adjacent and facing each other in an accommodating state. The accommodating space (66) is delimited outwards by its wall member (68) with a polygonal shape. A further wall member (70) with a circular shape delimits the accommodating space (66) to the inside and passes through a circular transfer space (76) in the adjacently disposed end member (34).Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: HYDAC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: James Golinsky, Michael Todd Evans, Timothy Jay Barr, William Michael Sassano, Joseph Gerard Quirk, Bhavbhuti Upamanyu Pandya

Publication number: 20190328492Abstract: An orthodontic button has a base for bonding attachment to a tooth. A substantially vertical slot extends into the outer face of the button, and divides the button into a smaller lateral segment covering a smaller portion of the base and a larger lateral segment covering a larger portion of the base. A post on the larger lateral segment provides a point of attachment for removably engaging an elastic to the button. Exerting a lateral compressive force on the smaller lateral segment and the larger lateral segment compresses the slot and releases the base from the tooth.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2018Publication date: October 31, 2019Inventor: Todd Evan Dickerson
