Abstract: A motorized seat that may be used in various marine applications to help improve adjustability and user comfort. In one implementation, a left armrest motor, a right armrest motor, and a footrest motor are selectively controllable and configured to move the left armrest between a left armrest stowed position and a left armrest lowered position, the right armrest between a right armrest stowed position and a right armrest lowered position, and the footrest between a footrest stowed position and a footrest lowered position.

Abstract: An endodontic instrument includes a plurality of flutes and a plurality of lands extending helically around a working portion. Each flute includes a curved concave flute surface, a pair of flute shoulders at the peripheral edges of the flute surface, a flute width defined by a distance between the flute shoulders, and a flute depth defined by a point of maximum depth between the flute shoulders. Each land is positioned between a pair of axially adjacent flutes and includes a curved concave land surface, a pair of land shoulders at the peripheral edges of the land surface, a land width defined by a distance between the land shoulders, and a land depth defined by a point of maximum depth between the land shoulders. The land width is less than the flute width and the land depth is less than the flute depth in the upper region of the working portion.

Abstract: An endodontic instrument adapted to be axially reciprocated within a root canal to remove material from walls of the root canal. The endodontic instrument includes an elongate shaft and a working portion. The elongate shaft includes a proximal end adjacent a handle and a distal end terminating at a tip spaced from the proximal end by the length of the instrument. The working portion includes a first helical fluted cutting surface for removing material from the walls of a root canal and a second helical fluted cutting surface for removing material from the walls of a root canal. The first helical fluted cutting surface and second helical fluted cutting surfaces are formed in opposing left-hand and right-hand directions such that material is removed form the walls of a root canal when the instrument is rotated in either a first or a second direction.

Abstract: A set of endodontic instrument adapted to remove material from walls of a root canal having a working portion with a relatively short working length. A substantially untapered nonworking portion of the instrument shaft with substantially parallel sidewalls and a diameter substantially the same as the diameter of the proximal end of the working portion extends from adjacent a proximal end of the working portion to the proximal end of the shaft. The working portions of the set of instruments have relatively small, slowly progressing taper rates.

Abstract: An endodontic instrument with an elongate shaft and a plurality of inverted frusto-conical sections with radial cutting edge disposed along a working portion of the shaft.

Abstract: A device for assisting a wearer of the device to maintain correct posture or avoid the effects of drowsiness. The device comprises a tubular member which may be attached to an article of clothing or the body of a wearer, and the tubular member houses a ball, or a hammer, which impacts the wall of the tubular member so as to emit an audible sound or ping whenever the device is tilted from is initial position, to thereby warn the wearer of the tilted condition and so that corrective action can be taken.

Abstract: A pre-clean deluge system for cleaning automobile white bodies including a cleaning solution filtration and distribution system. The filtration system includes a series of filters specially adapted to remove metal particles from the cleaning solution. The distribution system includes deluge cannons that are position so as to deliver cleaning solution to the interior of the white body in a location during the white body travel so that the particles flushed therefrom are introduced into a small tank prior to a main tank in which the white body is subsequently immersed. The distribution system also provides regulated flow of cleaning solution to the deluge cannons, as well as a bypass to facilitate cycling of cleaning solution for end-of-shift filtration purposes.
