Abstract: Disclosed is a clamping device for securing and clamping work-piece quickly and efficiently. The clamping device includes an elongated slide bar; a first support assembly and a second support assembly. The first support assembly affixed at a proximal end portion of the elongated slide bar includes a first body portion, and a first clamping member. The second support assembly includes a second body portion, a second clamping member configured on the second body portion, and a locking mechanism configured on the second body portion. The second body portion is slidably coupled to the elongated slide bar for assuming a plurality of positions with respect to the first body portion. The first clamping member and the second clamping member are positioned in a spaced apart relationship for abuttingly clamping the work-piece there between to assume a clamped position of the plurality of positions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for producing a fire special facilitates a more compact device. In one embodiment, the device comprises a steam curtain generator for directing received steam to an outlet slot that directs the steam into the ambient atmosphere such that the steam is flowing in a substantially a first direction to produce a curtain of steam, fan that is oriented so as to produce a flow of air in a direction that is substantially parallel to the flow of a steam curtain, a deflector for redirecting the flow of air produced by the fan towards the steam curtain, an adjustable agitator for causing turbulent flow in the stream of air directed towards a steam curtain, and an LED light for producing light that is projected onto a steam curtain.

Abstract: Improved connectors for optically coupling a fiber optic transmission line and an opto-electronic device electrically interfaced to a substrate. The improved connectors include the opto-electronic device being mounted on the substrate, such as a printed circuit board, and means for mounting the fiber optic transmission line to the substrate such that the operative axis of the opto-electronic device is substantially not coincidental with the light transmission axis of the fiber optic transmission line. The connectors also require light bending means in operative optical association with said opto-electronic device for directing along the light transmission axis of the fiber optic transmission line at least a portion of the light emitted from said opto-electronic device or for directing along the operative axis of said opto-electronic device at least a portion of the light emitted from said fiber optic transmission line.

Abstract: A self cleaning dental mirror apparatus utilizing the fluid dynamic properties of water and air to siphon the water across the reflective surface by air pressure through nozzle flanges surrounding a portion of the rim of the mirror surface, thus allowing the dentist free and continuous use of the dental mirror apparatus without interference from debris, mist and sprays normally produced in everyday dental operations. The apparatus is adaptable to standard dental consoles with means to regulate, measure and control all fluids separately or simultaneously and to provide a regulating means to control the amount of surface tension reducer operating through the water system.
