Patent number: 8408899Abstract: Described herein are various embodiments of a dental delivery system. For example, in one exemplary embodiment, a rear dental delivery system through which at least one of water, air and vacuum are delivered for use by a care giver in treating a patient occupying a nearby dental chair can include at least one movable arm that is pivotably mounted to a pivot connection and an upright mounted to the at least one movable arm. The pivot connection can be mounted at approximately a floor level and the at least one movable arm can be configured to pivot slightly above the floor level so as to reduce obstruction in a space separating the dental chair from the dental delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2006Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: A-dec, Inc.Inventors: Joel P. Smith, Jonathan E. Myers, Paul H. Johnson, J. Rick Halbirt, Patrick W. Berry, Stephen N. Weiler, Harold Halvorson, Jr.

Patent number: 7195219Abstract: A system for reconfigurably adapting a dental chair for use, including, e.g., use from the right side or left side, use by right-handed or left-handed practitioners and use in various dentistry practice styles, may include a link arm, a primary arm and a secondary arm. The link arm is pivotably connectible to a rear side of the dental chair. The primary arm is pivotably connectible to the link arm to swing in a generally horizontal plane about a generally vertical axis. The secondary arm is coupleable to the link arm, preferably along substantially the same axis. The secondary arm has multiple pivotably connected segments allowing its distal end to be positioned as desired.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2003Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: A-dec, Inc.Inventors: Shawn R. Irwin, Jonathan E. Myers, Paul H. Johnson, Jr., J. Rick Halbirt, Robin R. Winter

Publication number: 20030210863Abstract: A thermally compensated Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) assembly has an FBG mounted on a substrate of a material having a very low coefficient of thermal expansion relative to that for the FBG so that the FBG is constrained to expand/contract at the very low coefficient of thermal expansion. In one form an optical fiber with the FBG somewhere in the middle is wrapped under tension around a spool as the substrate at a maximum operating temperature of the FBG assembly. The opposing ends of the optical fiber are attached to the spool so that the FBG is constrained to expand/contract in accordance with the CTE of the spool. Alternatively the FBG may be securely attached along its length on the substrate at a minimum operating temperature of the FBG assembly to constrain the FBG to expand/contract at the CTE of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2002Publication date: November 13, 2003Inventors: Jonathan E. Myers, Duwayne R. Anderson

Patent number: 6402565Abstract: An electronic interconnect assembly has a high speed coaxial interconnect for a coaxial transmission line having a central signal conductor and a surrounding shield conductor. The coaxial interconnect has a male side and a female side, with the female side including a shield sleeve having a chamber that receives a male shield contact on the male side. The shield sleeve has a contact with a compliant portion that flexibly grips the male shield contact. A mechanical alignment facility includes a closely mating pocket and body, each attached to a respective male or female side of the interconnect. Additional data and power connectors may be included with the pocket and body.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2000Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Tektronix, Inc.Inventors: William R. Pooley, Daniel J. Ayres, M. David Swafford, William Q. Law, Michael L. Kyle, J. Steven Lyford, Jonathan E. Myers, Mark W. Nightingale, Jerry R. Shane

Patent number: 6379076Abstract: A stackable, recessed, locking, insulated thumbscrew for connecting modules together in a stack such that removal of one module from the stack does not loosen other modules in the stack has an insulated knurled cap that fits over the end of a main screw body. The main screw body has an interior threaded end and an exterior threaded end, with the knurled cap slidable over the interior threaded end by means of a bayonet pin on the main screw body and corresponding bayonet slot in the knurled cap. A cap spring is captured between a retainer flange integral with or retainer ring mounted on the interior threaded end adjacent the exterior threaded end and the knurled cap to apply pressure to the knurled cap. In a raised position the knurled cap may be readily grasped for manual screwing and unscrewing of the thumbscrew to add or remove a module from the stack.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2000Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Tektronix, Inc.Inventors: Steve U. Reinhold, John S. Lyford, James H. McGrath, Jonathan E. Myers

Patent number: 6372991Abstract: A crimpless strain relief termination for a coaxial cable has a crimpless mechanical termination and a strain relief bushing. The mechanical termination has a knurled bushing that is placed over the coaxial cable in a region where the outer insulating layer has been removed so that the bushing is in electrical contact with the outer shielding conductor of the cable. The outer shielding conductor is folded over the bushing such that the outer shielding conductor is in contact with knurling on the bushing. A heat shrinkable material having an inner adhesive coating is positioned over the bushing and heated to activate the adhesive and shrink the material to capture the shielding conductor between the heat shrinkable material and the bushing. The coaxial cable with the crimpless mechanical termination is inserted into a bore in a strain relief bushing that has an inwardly formed shoulder that engages the crimpless mechanical termination to provide mechanical strain relief for the coaxial cable.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2000Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: Tektronix, Inc.Inventor: Jonathan E. Myers
