  • Digital radiographic sensor view capture
    Patent number: 7010089
    Abstract: An apparatus including but not limited to a charge-coupled device(CCD)-array sensor positioning mechanism, the positioning mechanism structured to position a CCD-array sensor to capture a first target area; and the CCD-array sensor positioning mechanism further structured to position the CCD-array sensor to capture a second target area proximate to the first target area, the first and second target areas spatially related such that a first radiographic image recorded at the first target area may be combined with a second radiographic image recorded at the second target area to form a composite radiographic image substantially analogous to a single radiographic image of an aggregate target area covered by the first and second target areas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 8, 2003
    Date of Patent: March 7, 2006

  • Easy access dental field operating and treatment system having over-the-patient delivery
    Publication number: 20020106606
    Abstract: A dental treatment system which can include at least one dental bracket table; at least one portable base unit; and at least one suspension device coupled between the at least one dental bracket table and the at least one portable base unit, the at least one suspension device structured to allow a dental patient chair to be positioned substantially below the at least one dental bracket table. A dental treatment system which can include a portable enclosure structured to support at least one dental operatory component, the portable enclosure having at least one quick-release access panel. A method which can include coupling a suspension device between at least one dental bracket table and at least one portable base unit, the suspension device structured to allow a dental patient chair to be positioned substantially below the at least one dental bracket table.
