Abstract: A system for creating shelving, pedestal supports, a cabinet or desk and for mounting these items against a substantially vertical wall. One or more rails are provided which are affixed to the substantially vertical wall. Each rail is characterized as having an elongated longitudinal axis, base portion configured to contact the substantially vertical wall and a pair of flanges extending perpendicularly from the base portion in establishing a channel therebetween along the longitudinal axis noting further that the flanges are provided with a plurality of openings configured therein. The shelf, pedestal, cabinet or desk each have at least one rear surface supporting at least one bracket. A first portion of each bracket is embedded within the shelf and a second portion of each bracket extends from the shelf and is insertable within the channels and is slideable therein. In addition, the second portion of each bracket is provided with openings which align with openings in the flanges.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and devices for determining an axis of upper and lower jaw articulation of a patient and modeling jaw movement about such an axis, particularly with the use of computerized visual images. The methods comprise providing digital data sets of tooth and bite configuration information which may be used to determine an estimated condylar axis of rotation for a patient. A number of data sets may be acquired and utilized for such estimations. Data sets may be obtained with the use of bite registers. Such registers may be formed by a number of methods and device designs of the present invention. The resulting digital data sets and axis of articulation may then be utilized to generate animated visual images of a patient's jaws in various bite configurations throughout a given rotation around the determined axis.
