Abstract: An apparatus for interfacing holographic and electronic data comprises an input/output port for the interfacing of a holographic wavefront interference pattern and an electronic array capable of producing digital electronic information from a holographic wavefront input and for converting electronic information into holographic information using optical fibers, sensors, and optical switches. In one embodiment a plurality of optical fibers having a small end and a large tapered end are operably combined with a plurality of optical sensors wherein each of said optical sensors provide a digital signal of 1 if lit and a digital signal of 0 if unlit.

Abstract: A bristled dental floss comprised of a plurality of sub-fibers each having a plurality of bristles secured thereto. The sub-fibers, bristles, or both, may be stiffened with wax, TEFLON, nylon, or like material. The bristled dental floss has improved cleaning and massaging ability facilitating the dislodging and removal of unwanted particles from the interproximal and gingival embrasive regions.
