Publication number: 20140170621Abstract: A teaching device 10 includes a radiopaque skull 30 and radiopaque teeth 24, covered with plastic foam and silicone skin 31 to simulate a human head having correct external anatomical form. Pliable lips 20, 21 and other anatomical features realistically reproduce the challenges of taking dental x-rays images.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: DENTSPLY INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Curtis L. Steward, JR., Sean V. Ciesielka, Paul K. McDonough

Patent number: 7341240Abstract: A drain valve to be used with numerous drain applications, such as draining fluid from an engine, includes in an exemplary embodiment a valve body, a first and second o-ring and a valve sleeve. The drain valve eliminates the need for a tool, such as a wrench, to drain the fluid from the engine, for example. The drain valve includes a twist-and-pull valve sleeve feature to manipulate the valve; however, the valve sleeve remains on the drain valve and therefore cannot be lost or misplaced. The valve sleeve further includes an easy grip for opening and closing the valve. The drain valve may include a notch formed on the valve body to serve as a break-away point to permit the valve to break under certain conditions.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2006Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: Illinois Tool Works IncInventor: Sean V. Ciesielka

Patent number: 7124627Abstract: An air filter restriction sensor assembly for use on an engine, such as a small gas engine provides a simple on/off system with remote indicating to notify the operator of the air restriction. More specifically, the air restriction in the air intake line of the engine creates a vacuum which pulls on a plunger mechanism until the mechanism contacts a switch, such as a membrane switch, and activates the switch. The switch can be electrically connected to an indicator device, such as a light-emitting diode, which is readily visible to the operator to notify the operator of the air restriction.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2005Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Illinois Tool Works IncInventors: Sean V. Ciesielka, James S. Zielinski, David R. Nowak

Patent number: 6957974Abstract: A connector system is provided in which a branch connector may be secured in a pre-wired power and data network. The branch connector is designed to interface with existing network connections to provide at least one additional interface point for added or temporary devices. The connector may be designed to interface with existing connectors in a manner similar to existing cable assemblies, and may present sockets or similar interfaces which are substantially identical to the interface to which the connector is applied. Expanded network connectivity is thus provided for additional devices or temporary devices, such as programming, logging, system configuration and troubleshooting, and similar applications.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2004Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gary P. Bruski, G. Erich Heberlein, Jr., Sean V. Ciesielka

Patent number: 6054915Abstract: A fuseblock is compact, and electrically conductive components of the fuseblock do not extend beyond a length of a fuse in the fuseblock. The fuseblock can be assembled easily and quickly without tools, and can be easily configured in different ways using the same components. The fuseblock can be snapped onto a mounting rail using mounting projections that are integral with the fuseblock. The fuseblock can include wire end connectors that each have two or more openings for receiving wire ends. The fuseblock also effectively conceals live electrical contacts from accidental touch when the fuseblock is closed and operational, and also when the fuseblock is opened to replace or inspect the fuse, thereby preventing a person servicing the fuseblock from accidentally receiving an electrical shock.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1998Date of Patent: April 25, 2000Assignee: Cooper Industries, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Eugene Rowton, David R. Marach, Sean V. Ciesielka

Patent number: 5973418Abstract: A high-current fusible switch includes a nonconductive base, a nonconductive removable top, a plurality of conductive fuse clips, and a fuse having blade-type terminals. The fuse clips are fixedly mounted within the base. The fuse is retained within the top. Switching is accomplished by inserting or removing the top so that the fuse completes or breaks the circuit to which the switch is connected. The switch is connected to the circuit directly at the fuse clips so that a compact design is achieved that eliminates undesirable multiple electrical contacts.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1998Date of Patent: October 26, 1999Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Sean V. Ciesielka, B. Heath Scoggin, Jaime A. Torrez
