  • Patent number: 9456880
    Abstract: A dental wedge device, comprising of a hollow body with perforations on all three sides of a general triangular cross section, is coupled to a flexible tubing which can be connected to a dental vacuum device, readily available in a dental operatory. The dental wedge device incorporates a novel element that addresses a major issue of moisture control. Moisture contamination of a dental restoration during placement will compromise the longevity of the restorative material. The perforated sides of the wedge allow any moisture including gingival fluids, saliva and blood to be aspirated from the cavity preparation into a suction chamber. The fluids are then drawn into the flexible tubing line for complete ejection into a dental vacuum device. Another embodiment is described and shown.

  • Patent number: 5528734
    Abstract: A memory in a print control arrangement stores one or more application program blocks that control information signal processing, a printer driver block that controls conversion of information signals to print data and a document formatting block. A processor operates on the information signals according to control signals from the memory and operates to convert information signals to be printed according to control signals from the print driver block. Print data sent from the processor to a print spooler is intercepted and reformatted according to user provided formatting parameters in response to control signals of the document formatting block. The reformatted print data is sent to the print spooler.
