Abstract: The Coping and Crown Holder Instrument uses two separate tips at a 35 and 50 degree angle to better hold a coping or crown in place with very little surface contact while applying the proper medium to the coping or crown, while using a 35 degree angle to hold the crown holder up from the surface for easier pick up off a flat surface and easier placement of restorations onto a sagger tray, with 10 degree angles of bend for the finger holes to be closer together for use with the clasp and the stopper.

Abstract: A window, which may be a casement window, includes an opening control mechanism for limiting the amount that the sash of the window can be opened to control ventilation and as a child safety feature. In one configuration, the opening control mechanism includes a frame track and release assembly attached to the window frame and a sash arm assembly including an articulating sash arm attached to the sash of the window. The frame track and release assembly has a track and a roller on one end of the sash arm rides along the track as the window sash begins to open. At the end of the track, the roller engages and is restrained by a release arm or stop thereby preventing the sash from being opened further. A lever or a button operatively coupled to the release arm is disposed inside the dwelling and inside an insect screen of the window. The lever can be slid sideways and then pulled back in two distinct motions to release the roller to allow the sash to be opened beyond its restrained position.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of treatment that prevent the onset of Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) in a subject, or which reduce the severity of TLE in a subject, by administering a NKCC1 inhibitor to the subject after the subject has suffered from an insult known to precipitate TLE.

Abstract: In accordance with a universal nonvolatile memory boot mode, one or more portions of boot code are obtained from a nonvolatile memory component. These one or more portions are obtained without knowing a row size used by the nonvolatile memory component, a column address strobe (CAS) latency used by the nonvolatile memory component, or a default burst length used by the nonvolatile memory component. The one or more portions of boot code are executed to configure the system to access a volatile memory component, and/or to reconfigure the system to access the nonvolatile memory in a different mode of operation.

Abstract: A color measurement device designed for use at various stages of an industrial process is provided. The device offers enhanced insensitivity to ambient light, measurement depth variations, and/or ambient or environmental temperature variations. The device may be embodied as an LED-based, non-contact color measurement spectrophotometer. Over-illumination in full-spectrum of the target object facilitates effective color measurements over varying depths of view. Collected light is measured at discrete wavelengths across the entire visual spectrum. The hardened, rugged design and packaging of the measurement device allows color measurement to be performed at various stages of industrial processes wherein the device can add value by enabling enhanced detection of color errors.

Abstract: A light source comprising a light emitting device and quantum dot material is disclosed. According to various embodiments, the quantum dot material is positioned relative to the light emitting device such that the quantum dot material absorbs light emitted from the light emitting device and converts the wavelengths of photons emitted from the light emitting device to longer wavelengths. Judicious selection of the quantum dot material allows the emission spectra of the light source to be tailored to meet the needs of a particular illumination application, and avoids the drawbacks associated with the use of interference filters because the quantum dot material can upconvert the wavelengths emitted from the light emitting device such that the emission spectra of the light source can include wavelengths that are not emitted by the light emitting device itself.

Abstract: Self relieving seals of this invention comprise an elastomeric seal body having a first sealing surface and a second sealing surface for contact with respective drill bit sealing surfaces. The seal includes a pair of external surfaces that each extend along the seal body between the first and second sealing surfaces. The seal includes one or more relief ports that are disposed through the seal body and that have openings through each of the seal body external surfaces. The relief port can be specially configured, e.g., have different diameter sections of constant or variable dimensions, to provide a degree of control over pressure equalization through the seal body when the seal is loaded within the drill bit. The seal may include an element, e.g., solid, tubular, or porous, disposed within the relief port to provide a further desired degree of control over pressure equalization through the seal when the seal is loaded within the drill bit.

Abstract: Described herein are one or more implementations that eliminate the need to switch data-resource access-modes of a flash memory system between a primary main array memory and a secondary supernumerary data resource. The one or more described implementations provide access to the secondary supernumerary data resource through an overlay window in the addressable memory space of primary main array memory. Memory accesses (e.g., reads or writes) which specify a memory location which is within the defined address space of the overlay window are redirected to the secondary supernumerary data resource instead of accessing the primary main array memory.
