  • Hydraulic stabilizer
    Publication number: 20110095494
    Abstract: A control system to stabilize horizontal motion of a vehicle under varying steering conditions. A turn to the right or left will cause the oil from one shock to be redirected, through tubing, to the opposite side shock, causing a matched suspension spring compression to occur on both sides of the vehicle. In a straight ahead course, the hydraulic cross-vehicle flow is aborted.

  • Film, backlight displays, and methods for making the same
    Patent number: 7859759
    Abstract: In one embodiment a film can comprises a surface comprising a plurality of prism structures. Each prism structure has a lateral modulation in the w direction of less than or equal to ±20% of an average pitch of the prism structures. The plurality of prism structures can have a variation in the w direction of prism peak height that is discrete and/or continuous. In one embodiment, a method for making a film can comprise forming a plurality of prism structures on a surface. The plurality of prism structures can have a lateral modulation in the w direction of less than or equal to ±20% of an average pitch of the prism structures, and wherein the plurality of prism structures have a variation in the w direction of prism peak height that is discrete and/or continuous.

  • Dental prosthesis fabrication
    Publication number: 20100279254
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming an accurate stone cast from a dental hydrocolloid impression, used for the purpose of prosthetic fabrication, such as dental prostheses. The dental stone catalyst, calcium sulfate dihydrate, is engaged onto the internal surface of set hydrocolloid impression. This catalyst, placed in the area between impression material and wet, mixed stone, will act to hasten the initial setting of dental stone that is in closest proximity to the impression. The result is a stratified set of the stone. Setting of the wet, mixed dental stone occurs first at the impression/stone interface. The setting radiates outwardly, away from the impression/stone interface. The mixed stone better resists distortion upon setting and the resultant set stone cast is more accurate.

  • Microtaper needle and method of use
    Patent number: 7803142
    Abstract: The present invention relates to medical needles used in connection with guide wires. A needle of the present invention includes a substantially cylindrical tube formed along a central longitudinal axis. A tapered tube is connected to one end of the tube and has a sharpened end. A channel extends through the cylindrical tube and the tapered tube, and is aligned with the longitudinal axis. In some embodiments, the tapered portion is radially expandable. For instance, radial expansion may result when a guide wire is selectively inserted through the channel. The radial expansion may be facilitated by a relief on the tapered tube portion. Optionally, the relief includes a plurality of slots which expand as a guide wire is inserted through the channel and tapered portion, thereby also causing the internal and outer diameters of the tapered portion to expand.
