Abstract: Methods and systems for predicting a future dental or orthodontic condition(s) are provided. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method for calculating a future position of an intraoral object of a patient's intraoral cavity is provided. The method can comprise receiving first and second digital data representative of an actual state of the intraoral cavity at first and second time points. The method can comprise processing data including the first and second digital data so as to determine a velocity of an intraoral object of the intraoral cavity over the first and second time points. A future position of the intraoral object at a future time point can be determined based on the velocity.

Abstract: A busway fitting wherein the switch and/or fuse are disposed in a horizontal orientation. As the switch assembly and/or fuse are disposed in a horizontal orientation, the buses coupled to the switch assembly and/or fuse also extend horizontally. As such, the buses coupled to the switch assembly and/or fuse occupy a reduced amount of space. In this configuration, the transition buses may extend in a generally horizontal direction and such, the size of the busway fitting may be reduced.

Abstract: A fuse is adapted for electrical connection between a first low voltage power bus and a second low voltage power bus. The fuse includes one or more pairs of first and second spacer laminations. The first and second spacer laminations have a first area. The fuse also includes a plurality of fuse element laminations, each of which includes a first portion laminated to the first spacer lamination of one or two of the pairs, a second portion laminated to the second spacer lamination of the one or two of the pairs, and a third portion disposed between the first and second portions and intermediate the first and second spacer laminations of the one or two of the pairs. The first and second portions of the fuse element laminations have a second area, which is about equal to the first area.

Abstract: A network protector that includes a housing assembly, a circuit breaker, a control assembly, and a convention cooling assembly. The housing assembly is structured to form an enclosure and has a bus assembly coupled to an interior wall. The circuit breaker is structured to engaged the bus assembly within the housing assembly. The convection cooling assembly is coupled to the housing assembly and is structured to move air over the bus assembly.

Abstract: A network protector that includes an enclosure, a frame assembly, a plurality of electrical components, including a circuit breaker, and an arc path assembly. The frame assembly is disposed within said enclosure. The plurality of electrical components is coupled to the frame assembly. The circuit breaker has at least one set of main contacts and at least one are chute associated with set of main contacts. The arc path assembly has a hollow member having at least one open end. The hollow member in fluid communication with the arc chute and the hollow member open end extends beyond said frame assembly. Thus, arc gasses traveling from the arc chute through the hollow member are exhausted into said enclosure.

Abstract: A power circuit includes a first low voltage power bus, a second low voltage power bus, a fuse electrically connected between the first low voltage power bus and the second low voltage power bus, and a fuse barrier. The fuse has a non-interrupted state and an interrupted state. The fuse barrier includes a spring having a first end and a second end, a fastener connecting the first end of the spring to one of the first low voltage power bus and the second low voltage power bus, and an insulating barrier. The insulating barrier is disposed from the second end of the spring. The insulating barrier engages a portion of the fuse in the non-interrupted state thereof. The spring drives a portion of the insulating barrier through the fuse in the interrupted state thereof.

Abstract: An adjustable arm rest assembly for use on a chair including a support member, an arm rest member, a locking element and an adjustment member. The support member is attached to the chair and extends substantially upward therefrom. The arm rest member extends substantially coaxially with the support member. The locking element is attached to one of the support member and the arm rest member. A projecting portion extends from an end portion of the locking element and includes a first mating element. The adjustment member is attached to the other of the support member and the arm rest member. The adjustment member and the locking element are movable with respect to one another. A plurality of vertically spaced flanges form a plurality of recesses within the adjustment member. Each recess is sized to receive the projecting portion of the locking element and has a second mating element corresponding to the first mating element.
