Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for dental imaging using near infrared (NIR) light to illuminate a tooth (or teeth) using a sensor, such as a camera, to obtain a single image for each view of the tooth (or teeth) imaged for a dental assessment.

Abstract: An inspection vehicle structured to inspect a portion of the turbine disk, preferably the blade attachment hubs, while the turbine disk is disposed within a turbine housing assembly is provided. A turbine disk is generally planar but includes a inner hub and an outer blade attachment hub. The inner hub is coupled to a shaft and the blade attachment hub provides a surface to which removable blades are attached. The area between the inner hub and outer blade attachment hub is substantially planar. The inner and blade attachment hubs are the “inspection areas” that the inspection vehicle is structured to inspect. The inspection vehicle travels over, and is magnetically coupled to the planar surface between the two hubs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing unwanted wireless networking data communications includes: a) generating at least one protocol data unit in an apparatus; b) ignoring one or more wireless data transmission signals in the predefined area; and c) transmitting the protocol data unit from the apparatus to the predefined area, whereby a first communications device situated within the predefined area and configured to wirelessly receive the protocol data unit is prevented from transferring data with a second communications device. Furthermore, the protocol data unit is transmitted in a wireless data packet, wherein the wireless data packet conforms to a wireless communication protocol utilized by the first communications device and the second communications device. The apparatus is also configured to transmit the protocol data unit to multiple channels within the channel spectrum utilized by the wireless communication protocol.

Abstract: A proactive network analysis system is a single unit for diagnosing network problems, measuring network performance, and monitoring network status in a comprehensive manner. The system is a compilation of individual tools including a distributed network packet capture data stream collector; a traffic analyzer; a performance graphing unit; a syslog recorder analyzer and archiving unit; a system availability monitor; a device configuration archiving unit; and a throughput measurement tool. The system can further provide an access list generator, an access list analyzer, a router DNS name generator and a service level agreement measurement device.
