Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a patient anxiety management system for managing patient anxiety during a dental procedure. In one example, a patient anxiety management system is presented. The patient anxiety management system includes a control module that a patient can use to disactivate a medical device used by a dental professional by way of a trigger mechanism. Upon deactivating the medical device, a recording device, in communication with the control module, plays a recorded message to the patient during a programmable timeframe. Once the patient is calm, the system resets the medical device to an initial operation state by reconnecting but not reactivating the medical device so that the dental professional may resume the procedure when it is safe to proceed.

Abstract: An electron acceleration system includes a first RF cavity, and a second RF cavity whose center is located at a distance not more than 1.5 inch from the center of the first RF cavity, along an axis. The first RF cavity has a length less than about 0.25 inches. The on-axis coupling between the first and second RF cavities along the axis, which is primarily electric, is cancelled out by an off-axis coupling between the RF cavities off the axis, which is primarily magnetic. In this way, the net RF coupling between the RF cavities is zero. The phase and amplitude of the first and second RF cavities are each independently adjustable.

Abstract: A rapidly tunable RF cavity includes a cavity body, and at least one ferroelectric element disposed within a hollow interior region of the cavity body. A biasing system provides a nominal DC electric field bias across the ferroelectric element so as to induce a rapid change in dielectric permittivity of the ferroelectric element, and a corresponding change in resonant frequency of the RF cavity. A change in dielectric permittivity of up to about 20% can be induced within a response time of less than 10 nanoseconds, with a biasing field strength of less than 50 kV. In some embodiments, the ferroelectric element is made of BST (barium-strontium titanate). The ferroelectric element may be cylindrically shaped, and coaxial with the cavity body. The biasing system may include one or more copper cylinders supported by supporting rods.
