Abstract: A versatile system for the manipulation of dental appliances is described that includes a grasping assembly coupled to an actuating assembly. Members of the grasping assembly are shaped to approximate contour of the dental appliance. An apical seating member is disposed upon the grasping assembly to facilitate the application of seating pressure. The grasping assembly may be removably or permanently coupled to the actuating assembly. Portions of the actuating assembly, the grasping assembly, or both the actuating and grasping assemblies may be shaped to facilitate distal, mesial, or both distal and mesial manipulation of the dental appliance.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer program embodied on a computer readable medium. The computer may include a code segment for storing user service information. The computer program may also include a code segment for communicating with a mobile switching station and remote service providers. The computer program may further include a code segment for accessing services from remote service providers. The computer program may also include a code segment for routing the services to a communications device.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing various protocols for a Time Division Duplex (TDD) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wireless local loop system that utilizes unique embedded concentrated access and embedded data access in a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) is described. The method and system further provides for dynamic pool sizing of the access channels. The protocols support POTS (Plain Old Telephone), ISDN, and direct data service in a point to multi-point configuration. The protocols are inherently flexible so as to provide Enhanced Bandwidth and quality of service (QOS) via CDMA. Channel concatenation (multi-code modulation) provides a multiplicity of channels. The system utilizes frequency division duplex (FDD) operation so as to double capacity. The system further utilizes scaleable architecture for bandwidth expansion and higher data rate services.
