Abstract: Disclosed is a combination toothbrush and mirror device configured to be used in dental examinations. The device contains a handle, shank, and head with bristles being on the front surface and a mirror being on the back surface. The mirror may be embedded, selectively detachable or attached using a tilt mechanism allowing the mirror to be held in a particular orientation by resistance or a fastening element.

Abstract: An intraosseous tack device is configured to puncture alveolar bone or other human or animal bone at a targeted site of the mouth or body to provide an access point for the delivery of local anesthesia or other medicament. The device includes a tack having a body portion and an elongate member extending from the body portion. The elongate member is formed as a solid structure configured for puncturing targeted bone. The body portion includes an attachment feature enabling attachment to a standard syringe or to a customized handle.

Abstract: An intraosseous tack device is configured to puncture alveolar bone or other human or animal bone at a targeted site of the mouth or body to provide an access point for the delivery of local anesthesia or other medicament. The device includes a tack having a head member and an elongate member extending from the head member. The elongate member is inserted into a sleeve, and the sleeve is coupled to a handle. At least a portion of the sleeve is collapsible, so that when a compressive force is applied to the head member of the tack, the sleeve partially collapses to a shorter length, allowing the distal end of the tack to pass out of the opposite end of the sleeve for puncturing the alveolar bone at the targeted site.

Abstract: A method for context transfer for data storage is disclosed. The method includes receiving, from an analysis environment, a request to load a data item for analysis, creating, based on the request, a task request including context information of the data item, transmitting the task request to a data manager environment, receiving, from the data manager environment, an approval of the task request based on the context information, and loading the data item in a master data store in response to the approval.

Abstract: A method for local data visibility is disclosed. The method includes detecting data items in a local data repository located in a local environment. In response to the detecting, a computer processor of the local environment collects metadata describing the data items in the local data repository. The metadata includes a project identifier. The metadata is then transmitted, separate from the data items, to a data manager of a database, where the database is accessible by multiple local environments. Accordingly, the data manager determines, based on the project identifier, a synchronization status of the data items in the local data repository, where the synchronization status represents a relationship between the data items in the local data repository and exploration and production data in the database. The data manager further generates, according to a pre-determined data management scheme, an alert based on the synchronization status.

Abstract: A method for deploying a product through multiple phases includes defining work streams for deploying the product, where each work stream is defined for a set of components of a client environment. For each work stream and for each phase, a set of predefined tasks are identified for the phase, a computer processor gathers for the phase a set of instruments specific to the work stream for performing the set of predefined tasks, and the set of instruments are stored in a data repository of a deployment framework. The set of predefined tasks for the phase is common amongst the work streams.
