Abstract: The present disclosure provides an inflatable toy sword device with a blade configured to extend from and retract into the handle. A flexible blade material may be stored in a spooled configuration within the handle and inflated during extension. During retraction, the process is reversed and air is controllably released while the material is spooled. A method of extending and retracting the flexible blade material of an inflatable toy sword is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to the application of photon energy to energize dental materials to enhance their physical handling characteristics, efficacy, ability to be delivered, reactivity, polymerization, and/or post-cure mechanical properties, among other attributes.

Abstract: In the present invention, a dripless syringe is provided that includes a barrel having fluid therein, the barrel defining an open end and a nozzle opposite the open end, a plunger disposed at least partially within the open end and including a body and a push pin extending from one end of the body, a seal plate slidably mounted to the push pin and a bung disposed over the seal plate and the push pin and sealingly engaged between the seal plate and the barrel the seal plate enables the bung to remain in sealing engagement with the interior of the barrel while the plunger is moved within the barrel. Further, when pressure is removed to cease dispensing of the fluid, the pin allows the bung to retract and provide a negative pressure on the fluid to prevent drips of fluid from leaking out of the nozzle.

Abstract: A device for delivering fluid includes a housing having a proximal end configured to receive a fluid source and a distal end configured to receive a treatment tip. In its interior, the housing includes at least a first fluid line in fluid communication with the fluid source and with the treatment tip, at least a first pump in-line with the first fluid line and configured to urge fluid from the fluid source to the treatment tip, control circuitry in electrical communication with the pump, and a power source configured to supply continuous output power to deliver the fluid to the treatment tip, the power source being in electrical communication with the control circuitry. The housing further is provided with user-operable controls and operation monitors.
