Patent number: 10716898Abstract: A device has a hollow guide shell including an injection end and a longitudinal axis. An actuator magnet is disposed in the hollow guide shell. An injection pin is coupled to the actuator magnet. A driver magnet is positioned on the device radially outward from the actuator magnet. A fluid cartridge is disposed in the injection end of the hollow guide shell, the fluid cartridge including a needle and a plunger. The driver magnet selectively exerts an injection force on the actuator magnet in a direction oriented towards the injection end of the hollow guide shell to engage the injection pin with the fluid cartridge. A liquid, gas or other agent can selectively be ejected from the cartridge by the device to inject the fluid, gas or other agent into another object.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2018Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Dynamic Magnetics, LLCInventor: Richard C.

Patent number: 5329543Abstract: A pulsed laser utilizing an oscillating or rotating intra cavity photon deflector means to extract a beam transverse to the long axis of the resonator from intracavity power. The moving photon deflector is supported and set into motion either mechanically or electromagnetically within the resonator and in the path of lasing photons, thereby intercepting and deflecting photons out of the resonator.Movement of the deflector within the path of lasing photons results in the circumferential deflection of photons with the most intense concentration being deflected from that portion of the surface of the deflector which first intercepts the circulating intracavity photon stream. As lasing photons are deflected from the leading edge of the deflector, lasing action is instantaneously reestablished after the trailing edge moves through the photon stream. Wherever the deflector does not intersect the normal trajectory of photons in the laser cavity, lasing action is automatically reestablished.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1992Date of Patent: July 12, 1994Inventor: Richard C.

Patent number: 5067899Abstract: An improved air-water syringe for use by dentists and the like, the syringe including a body portion and a nozzle portion extending therefrom, with air and water passageways extending through the body portion and the nozzle portion, and with control buttons to regulate the flow of and air and water through such passageways. A protective barrier plate is mounted on the nozzle portion so that it can move relative to the nozzle portion in linear and angular directions with respect to the nozzle, whereby the protective barrier plate can be placed across the open mouth of a dental patient to prevent splashback while still permitting the syringe to be manipulated to locate the extending end of the nozzle at virtually any desired location within the oral cavity of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 1991Date of Patent: November 26, 1991Inventor: Richard C.
