  • Adjustable-speed electronic method of composing information
    Patent number: 7325195
    Abstract: A method of composing information by electronically advancing a sequence of information elements at controlled speed in an even step-wise fashion into a fixed transfer location while visibly displaying each of them there during a dwell time to permit the operator to decide whether to select it for manually directed copying into an output sequence. The speed of advance of the sequence of information elements and hence the dwell time for display of each information element is manually adjusted from time to time.

  • Analog module for reconversion of jaw movement information
    Patent number: 4045872
    Abstract: An analog module for use with a dental articulator is formed as a unitary structure having a pair of laterally spaced simulated fossae. The module is formed with reference openings in the undersides of the fossae, and it is then placed in a reconverter machine where the reference openings are enlarged to represent the three-dimensional jaw movement characteristic measured from a particular patient. Thereafter the module is attached to the upper frame of an Arkon type articulator where the enlarged openings reproduce the jaw movement pattern of the patient.The module is provided with a fixed three-dimensional reference for establishing a predetermined reference position when it is placed in the articulator, and establishing the same reference position when it is previously placed in the reconverter machine. The module also has hinge axis alignment means engagable by pointers of a transfer face bow for aligning dental casts in the articulator.
