  • Electro-optic displays displaying in dark mode and light mode, and related apparatus and methods
    Patent number: 10163406
    Abstract: This invention provides methods of and related apparatus for driving an electro-optic display having a plurality of pixels to display white text on a black background (“dark mode”) while reducing edge artifacts, ghosting and flashy updates. The present invention reduces the accumulation of edge artifacts by applying a special waveform transition to edge regions according to an algorithm along with methods to manage the DC imbalance introduced by the special transition. Edge artifact clearing may be achieved by identifying specific edge pixels to receive a special transition called an inverted top-off pulse (“iTop Pulse”) and, since the iTop Pulse is DC imbalanced, to subsequently discharge remnant voltage from the display.

  • PINCERS FOR THE EXTRACTION OF TEETH AND RESIDUAL DENTAL ROOTS
    Publication number: 20180360560
    Abstract: Pincers for removing residual dental roots by the application of a contrary force on the mandible and maxilla on a pre-fixed screw. It is constructed in such a manner as to enable the strength of the operator to be multiplied and the final movement of the pincers to be reduced. The operator will need to apply minimal force and thus the procedure becomes simple and safe, thereby preserving the underlying bone structure and facilitating implant osseointegration. Likewise the device can be easily sterilized and assembled/dismantled easily because of the small number of moving parts. Further, there is no need for the mouth to be opened so widely, which results in less movement and less trauma caused by excessive opening of the patient's mouth, and it adapts to the irregular profile of support on the dental arch.
