Abstract: A non-resonant ESR instrument/probe that can easily accept an identification card (or the like) form factor device incorporating a radiation sensitive material providing reliable and calibrated dose measurement stably and permanently stored into the device and deployed to individual, persons, animals, or objects, to act as a personal-surrogate dosimeter primarily in radiation mass events with radiation dose derived from a measure of the radiation induced changes in paramagnetic density obtained via transmission mode electron spin resonance measurements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container configured for shipping, storing, and displaying goods. The container comprises upper and lower portions linked by a continuous line of weakness, wherein the upper portions collectively form a container top section that can be easily and cleanly removed and disposed, while the lower portions collectively form a container bottom section that is retained for displaying contained articles. The container employs materials and design features that provide satisfactory protection during transportation, clamping and stacking.

Abstract: A miniature motorized hand held dental saw wherein the axis of rotation of the handle of the dental saw is tangent to the cutting edge of the blade. This important characteristic, combined with the use of a flexible blade, enables the operator to change, as needed, the direction of the cut without any snagging or binding effects. The dental saw preferably includes a main steel body on which are attached three flanged Teflon.TM. coated bearings that support and guide a thin, annular blade. The rotation of the blade, on these flanged bearings, is created by a drive assembly including two opposite wheels, a drive wheel and a follower wheel, each wheel including a hub on which is fitted an o-ring. The opposite o-rings create an equal pressure on both faces of the blade and cause the blade to rotate.

Abstract: A miniature motorized hand held dental saw wherein, like with a coping saw, the axis of rotation of the handle of the dental saw is tangent with the outer diameter of the blade. This important characteristic, combined with the use of a flexible blade, enables the operator to change, as needed, the direction of the cut without any snagging or binding effects. The dental saw is composed of a main steel body on which are attached three flanged Teflon.TM. coated bearings that support and guide a 0.004 thick annular diamond coated blade. The rotation of the blade, on these flanged bearings, is created by a drive assembly consisting of two opposite wheels, a drive wheel and a follower wheel, each wheel composed of a hub on which is fitted a neoprene o-ring. The opposite o-rings create an equal pressure on both faces of the blade which they make rotate. The power is transmitted to the assembly by means of a drive cable that is connected to a motor situated in a remote stationary work station.
