Patent number: 7699609Abstract: A device for the treatment of periodontal disease. The device includes a handle that has a configuration familiar to dental professionals and a cartridge that is locked into the handle when use, typically delivery of a composition to a periodontal pocket, is desired. The cartridge provides for effective delivery of compositions, such as agents, as its tip is deformable, typically from a circular to an oval shape so as to flatten. The deformation may be made either manually, by the dental professional, or upon contact with teeth or other tissues, whereby this flattened tip can penetrate deeply into periodontal pockets for quick and direct application of the composition, for example, therapeutic agents.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2004Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Orapharma, Inc.Inventors: James R. Lawter, Michael G. Lanzilotti, Mark Bates, Gregory H. Hunter

Patent number: 6879443Abstract: A binocular viewing system provides images from electronic display elements to the left and right eyes of a user transmitted via right eye and left eye display assemblies connected by a nose bridging element. The binocular viewing system includes an interpupillary distance adjustment mechanism to accommodate multiple users. Accommodation for vision correction and a focus mechanism may also be provided. Also, the binocular viewing system provides a virtual image at a distance less than infinity, in an arrangement that also accommodates a range of interpupillary distances. In other aspects, the binocular viewing system incorporates face curvature to more comfortably fit a user's head, and places the electronic display elements close to the user's eye, either in the line of sight, or within the nose bridging element.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2003Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: The Microoptical CorporationInventors: Mark B. Spitzer, Gregory H. Hunter, Paul M. Zavracky

Publication number: 20030090439Abstract: An electronic imaging system is mountable on a user's head without eyewear. The system provides a computer monitor image or other electronic display, such as television or data display. The system provides many of the functions and advantages of known eyewear-mounted displays, but without requiring the user to wear spectacles. The system can be fit to a wide range of users without prescriptive correction or other customization.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2002Publication date: May 15, 2003Inventors: Mark B. Spitzer, Gregory H. Hunter, Paul M. Zavracky, Gregg Flender, Sebastian M.J. Petry, Michel D. Arney

Patent number: 5009473Abstract: A resonant scanning unit utilizes a "tuning fork" design with a mirror mounted on one arm of the tuning fork and a counterbalance mass mounted on the other arm. A voice coil electromagnetic motor mounted between the arms causes the arms to move in opposite directions. Light generated by a line of LEDs is reflected from the oscillating mirror to generate a raster display. Reaction forces generated by the motions of the mirror and counterbalance mass cancel at the device base, reducing vibration. In addition, the inventive structure allows placement of the mirror pivot point away from the center of the mirror which allows display devices constructed with the structure to be reduced in size. A second embodiment is disclosed in which molded construction reduces assembly cost and time and allows precise tuning of the reaction forces.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1989Date of Patent: April 23, 1991Assignee: Reflection Technology, Inc.Inventors: Gregory H. Hunter, Benjamin A. Wells, Michael A. Feldstein
