Abstract: An autonomous surface cleaning apparatus includes a body, a drive system carried by the body, and a cleaning assembly disposed at a front of the body. The cleaning assembly includes a housing defining a suction chamber and a suction channel extending from the suction chamber to a suction channel opening provided in a first side surface of the cleaning assembly, and a side suction nozzle mounted to an extension and retraction assembly that is arranged to allow the side suction nozzle to be moved between an extended position. The side suction nozzle includes a first resilient blade and a second resilient blade, the first resilient blade being arranged such that a surface of the first resilient blade is substantially forward facing and the second resilient blade being arranged such that a surface of the second resilient blade is substantially downward facing.

Abstract: A mandibular advancement device is proposed which comprises both an upper and a lower base plate, whereby engagement of the plates during closing of the jaws causes protrusion of the mandible and allows relative lateral movement between the jaws. In one particular form the invention relates to a device for positioning upper and lower jaws, including a cam associated with one of the jaws and a follower associated with the other jaw, the follower having an engagement surface which translates across the cam to advance one of the jaws relative to the other as the jaws are closed.

Abstract: A dental device which comprises both an upper part fitted to the upper jaw of a wearer and a lower part fitted to the lower jaw of the wearer, wherein the upper part includes an upper magnet, the lower part includes a lower magnet, and the magnets are arranged so as to establish a magnetic repulsion between the magnets which opposes the closing of the jaw, thereby opposing direct contact between the upper part and the lower part.

Abstract: A process implemented in a computer parses source code and displays simplified views of the source code for assistance to a programmer in understanding the instruction flow through the software. The process generates software source code path flow displays relative to a target statement of a source code document and displays these simplified views to a user. The user selects a target statement, perferably interactively by marking a statement on a source code display on a monitor. The underlying process then identifies the target statement in memory; each statement of the source code is thereafter examined to determine if the statement resides in the logic flow path to the target statement, does not reside in the logic flow path to the target statement, or is undefined with respect to whether or not it resides in the logic flow path to the target statement. Each source code statement is then marked as to the logic flow path determination of the examining step.
