  • Patent number: 8353690
    Abstract: A pair of dual chamber mixing pumps are combined which allow for a constant dispense rate profile using motor speed modulation. Each pump is divided into two chambers, the proximal chamber and the distal chamber. The chambers are defined in part by a piston having proximal and distal ends and recessed sections. The pump utilizes one common driving mechanism to axially rotate and laterally reciprocate the piston to provide continuous pumping of fluids with reduced pulsations. Each fluid enters through its own pump inlet and outlet. The pumps are operated 90° out of phase with respect to each other.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 12, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 15, 2013

  • Patent number: 6540399
    Abstract: A dental x-ray bite block (10) for securing an x-ray sensor (40) has a first block section (11) having a primary clamp face (17) and a second block section (12) having a secondary clamp face (23). The first block section (11) is configured with receiving means (41) to receive the second block section (12), such that the primary and the secondary clamp faces (17,23) are positioned in a spaced, opposing relation when the second block section (12) is received within the first block section (11). There is also stepped rachet members (50, 51) for affixing the position of the second block section (12) relative to the first block section (11) when received therein.
