Patent number: 8641276Abstract: A sensor that is at least partially covered by a sheath, and a positioning arm that is electrically coupled to the sensor, and arranged outside of the sheath, such that a hygienic barrier is formed around the sensor. The sensor is used for filmless dental radiography and the positioning arm enables positioning of the sensor in a patient's mouth. The positioning arm includes a contact that pierces the sheath and establishes an electrical connection with the sensor when the positioning arm is coupled to the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Sirona Dental, Inc.Inventors: Mark Abramovich, Valeriy Armencha, Stan Mandelkern

Patent number: 8450696Abstract: An auxiliary component that is used with a medical device is modified to provide for additional or enhanced functionality. In one specific embodiment, a sheath surrounds an intraoral electronic image sensor, and is provided with signal conductors integrated therein. Electrical communication is provided between the sensor and the sheath, such as via a direct electrical connection, a capacitive or inductive coupling or an optical link. The sheath, and particularly the signal conductors integrated therein, connects to a cable which in turn connects to another device, such as a processing module or computer.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2012Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Sirona Dental Systems, Inc.Inventors: Valeriy Armencha, Mark Abramovich

Patent number: 7193219Abstract: An intraoral sensor includes a radiation sensitive sensor array, an event detection circuit, and a transmitter. The radiation sensitive sensor array includes a scintillator which converts x-rays into visible light radiation, and a plurality of pixels sensitive to visible light radiation to capture an image upon the presence of incident radiation. The event detection circuit includes a current sensing device and is configured to generate a triggering signal indicating the presence of radiation incident on the sensor array based upon the amount of electrical current drawn by the sensor array. The transmitter is adapted to transmit via a wireless link signals representing an image captured by the sensor array.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2006Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Schick Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David B. Schick, Stan Mandelkern, Valeriy Armencha

Patent number: 7171181Abstract: An automatic frequency tuning (AFT) system which can effect immediate and accurate automatic frequency tuning of the local oscillator (LO) of a receiver, in order to achieve a stable intermediate frequency (IF) signal while reducing the power consumption and the cost of the system. In the automatic frequency tuning (AFT) system, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts the intermediate frequency (IF) to a digital value which is sent to a microcontroller. A signal sent from the microcontroller accurately and automatically tunes the local oscillator (LO).Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2003Date of Patent: January 30, 2007Assignee: Schick Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David B. Schick, Stan Mandelkern, Iouri Kazarov, Leonid Khatutskiy, Valeriy Armencha

Publication number: 20060193436Abstract: A system for capturing multiple intraoral images includes an intraoral sensor. The sensor includes a sensor array, a transmitter and a power source that provides power to the sensor array and the transmitter. The sensor is configured to be inserted inside a patient's oral cavity, capture an image upon the presence of incident radiation and transmit from within the oral cavity via a wireless link electrical signals representing the image. A base station positioned outside the oral cavity is configured to receive the electrical signals transmitted from the sensor. The sensor is capable of capturing transmitting to the base station electrical signals representing multiple intraoral images without requiring that the sensor be removed from the patient's oral cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2006Publication date: August 31, 2006Applicant: Schick Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David Schick, Stan Mandelkern, Valeriy Armencha
