  • Thermoplastic/Thermoset Dental Restorative Prosthetics
    Publication number: 20120090178
    Abstract: The present invention is dental prosthetics manufactured from polymers rather than ceramics. Various plastics are disclosed for use in making said prosthetics, as are techniques for improving plastic performance in the prosthetics. The prosthetics are first injection molded into pre-set blocks for use in milling machines that dentists use or custom fit prosthetics with less wait time and less cost. Alternatively, an electronic model may be produced using image scanners. The electronic model may then be downloaded into rapid prototyping machine and a prosthetic therein built. Use of these methods may create various monolithic prosthetics, including multi-tooth prosthetics and whole bridges.

  • MONITOR FOR MEASURING IMPROVEMENT IN INVOLUNTARY BREATHING
    Publication number: 20110271959
    Abstract: The present invention is a breathing improvement monitor that continuously measures involuntary breathing. The monitor is a sensor apparatus that is attached to a patient's mask which is connected to the monitoring apparatus. The sensor may be reusable and attachable and detachable to a mask or it may be an integral part of a breathing mask. The sensor technology may be any type sufficient in the art, including but not limited to solid state sensors, transducers, electromagnetic microturbines and the like. Since the mask does not have to be removed and the sensor provides constant signal to the monitoring apparatus, a real time status of a patient's involuntary breathing capability may be determined for a doctor's consideration.
