Abstract: Some aspects relate to systems and methods for estimating a trend associated with dental tissue. An exemplary system may include a sensor configured to periodically detect a plurality of oral images representing a plurality of exposed tooth surfaces and a computing device configured to receive the plurality of oral images from the sensor, aggregate a first aggregated oral image as a function of a first plurality of oral images detected at a first time, aggregate a second aggregated oral image as a function of a second plurality of oral images detected at a second time, and estimate a trend as a function of the first aggregated oral image and the second aggregated oral image.

Abstract: Aspects relate to systems and methods for generating an image representative of oral tissue concurrently with dental preventative laser treatment. An exemplary system may include a laser configured to generate a laser beam as a function of a laser parameter, a beam delivery system configured to deliver the laser beam from the laser, a hand piece configured to accept the laser beam from the beam delivery system and direct the laser beam to dental tissue, wherein the laser beam performs a non-ablative treatment of the dental tissue, as a function of the laser parameter, a sensor configured to detect a plurality of oral images as a function of oral phenomena concurrently with delivery of the laser beam to the dental tissue, and a computing device configured to receive the plurality of oral images from the sensor and aggregate an aggregated oral image as a function of the plurality of oral images.

Abstract: Some aspects relate systems and methods for dental treatment and remote oversight. An exemplary system may include a laser configured to generate a laser beam as a function of a laser parameter, a beam delivery system configured to deliver the laser beam from the laser, a hand piece configured to accept the laser beam from the beam delivery system and direct the laser beam to dental tissue, a sensor configured to detect a dental parameter as a function of a dental phenomenon, a computing device configured to receive the dental parameter from the sensor and communicate the dental parameter to a remote device configured to interface with a remote user.

Abstract: Some aspects relate to systems and methods for dental treatment and verification. An exemplary system may include a laser configured to generate a laser beam as a function of a laser parameter, a beam delivery system configured to deliver the laser beam from the laser, a hand piece configured to accept the laser beam from the beam delivery system and direct the laser beam to dental tissue, a sensor configured to detect a treatment parameter as a function of a treatment phenomenon; and a computing device configured to receive the treatment parameter from the sensor; and determine aggregated treated surfaces as a function of the treatment parameter.

Abstract: A present application relates to a chain management system that includes a chain dispensing unit and/or a chain cutting device or table configured to conveniently store reels of roller chain and/or separate the reels into customized strand lengths while significantly reducing the amount of handling and manual disassembly tooling required. The chain dispensing unit includes a rotatable station carousel capable of holding a plurality of reels, which allows reels of neatly stored roller chain to be stored, moved and/or dispensed using a single control point. Reels of the chain dispensing unit can be cycled to a position from which the user can dispense the roller chain to the chain cutting table where the roller chain can be disassembled into customized strand lengths, and then the unused remainder of the roller chain can be returned to the reel.

Abstract: A holder which is especially adapted for use with pool cues comprises first, second, third and fourth fastener strips made of hook and loop (e.g., Velcro.RTM. brand) fastener strips joined in interlocking fashion. Each strip has an adhesive side and a fastener side, and the strips are attached to each other in interlocking fashion using the adhesive side of each strip. Accordingly, the holder is in a T-shaped configuration, and the first and second fastener strips are disposed generally parallel to each other and are generally perpendicular to both the third and fourth fastener strips. Additionally, parallel strips have opposite type fasteners (i.e., one strip has hook-type fasteners and the other has loop-type fasteners). In operation, a fifth fastener strip is adhesively attached to a stable surface. One of the fastener strips of the holder is then attached to the fifth fastener strip.

Abstract: A second crop is planted in a field by first cutting and removing the majority of a first crop from the field, seeding the field with the second crop, and then immediately applying the cut portion of the first crop over the seeded field as a mulch. A planter including a cutting assembly and a row planting assembly is provided to accomplish the above steps in a single pass over the field.
