Abstract: A blue light therapy device includes a domed shaped main body having a fixed array of optical emitters along the inside surface. Each of the optical emitters of the fixed array includes a blue light LED that applies optical emissions to the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex area of the recipient's brain in form of blue light between 400 nm and 470 nm to each side of the recipient's head at a location just above their ears. A second array of optical emitters are located on adjustable arms that are positionable within the nostrils of the recipient to apply optical emissions to the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain of the recipient. The device also includes a controller that is connected to the arrays, a user interface, an eye shield, and a chin strap.

Abstract: A toothbrush having one or more light sources with an electronic interlock control device preventing operation of the light source when the toothbrush is removed from the user's mouth. The electronic interlock control over operation is necessary to prevent accidental eye exposure to the high intensity light source with a wavelength in the range of about 400 nm to about 1000 nm. The light-emitting toothbrush activates upon entering the user's mouth but deactivates immediately when removed, thus protecting the user's eyes from direct exposure to the high power light source contained in the brush head.

Abstract: A short wavelength visible light-emitting toothbrush with an electronic interlock control device preventing operation when the toothbrush is removed from the user's mouth. The electronic interlock control over operation is necessary to prevent accidental eye exposure to the high intensity light source with a wavelength in the range of 400 nm to 500 nm. The light-emitting toothbrush activates upon entering the user's mouth but deactivates immediately when removed, thus protecting the user's eyes from direct exposure to the high power light source contained in the brush head.

Abstract: A short wavelength visible light-emitting toothbrush with an electronic interlock control device preventing operation when the toothbrush is removed from the user's mouth. The electronic interlock control over operation is necessary to prevent accidental eye exposure to the high intensity light source with a wavelength in the range of 400 nm to 500 nm. The light-emitting toothbrush activates upon formation of an electrical circuit between the brush handle in contact with the users hand and the brush head or brush bristles in contact with moisture contained in a human mouth such as saliva or water mixed with toothpaste but deactivates immediately when removed from the mouth, thus protecting the user's eyes from direct exposure to the high power light source contained in the brush-head.

Abstract: An arrow fletching device with plate clamp, as well as features and aspects thereof, provides an arrow builder the means to accurately and repeatedly position fletching against the shaft of an arrow, without a spring loaded butterfly clamp component, and securely hold the fletching thereto until a bond is attained between the fletching and arrow shaft via an adhesive. Exemplary embodiments of an arrow fletching device with a plate clamp are, generally, jig apparatuses operable to precisely position an arrow shaft relative to an arrow fletching. More particularly, exemplary embodiments of an arrow fletching device comprise a plate component, in lieu of a spring-loaded butterfly clamp, useful for receiving, positioning and retaining fletching against the shaft of an arrow.

Abstract: Improved methods for preparing a low-k dielectric material on a substrate using microwave radiation are provided. The use of microwave radiation allows the preparation of low-k films to be accomplished at low temperatures. According to various embodiments, microwave radiation is used to remove porogen from a precursor film and/or to increase the strength of the resulting porous dielectric layer. In a preferred embodiment, methods involve (a) forming a precursor film that contains a porogen and a structure former on a substrate, (b) exposing the precursor film to microwave radiation to remove the porogen from the precursor film to thereby create voids within the dielectric material and form the porous low-k dielectric layer and (c) exposing the dielectric material to microwave radiation in a manner that increases the mechanical strength of the porous low-k dielectric layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a plasma source that maintains a low coil voltage in the vicinity of the plasma tube, thereby reducing the capacitive coupling between the coil and the plasma and significantly reducing the erosion from the internal surfaces of the plasma tube. The plasma source generally comprises a coil having a first coil segment and a second coil segment, an RF power source connected to the coil and an enclosure disposed between the first coil segment and the second coil segment. The invention also provides a method for generating a plasma, comprising: disposing an enclosure between a first coil segment and a second coil segment; introducing a gas into the enclosure; and supplying an RF power to the coil segments to excite the gas into a plasma state.
