Abstract: A curable mixture and method of using the mixture are disclosed. In some embodiments, the mixture comprises a water soluble acrylate-based monomer, a water-soluble acrylamide-based monomer, or a mixture thereof, and has properties suitable for use as a tooth filling after curing.

Abstract: A magnetized body wear is configured to be worn on a body part of a user, for example, worn on the wrist or ankle of the feet. The magnetized body wear comprises multiple magnetized spheres coated with a covering material, where the magnetized spheres are removably attached to each other to define a closed loop. One selected pair of the magnetized spheres is detached to open the closed loop and to allow the attached magnetized spheres to be worn and attached around the body part. The closed looped magnetized spheres worn on the body part optimizes bodily conditions of the user.

Abstract: Apparatus for measuring a pattern in a surface of an object, comprising a plurality of pixel or sensor elements being responsive to a physical parameter of the object surface, and means for establishing an overall, segmented picture related to said pattern, and also comprising at least one diode functionally associated with each sensor element for contributing to one or more of the following functions: selectively addressing said sensor element; activating said sensor element; and sensing of said physical parameter.
