Patent number: 9385653Abstract: A crystal oscillator having a plurality of quartz crystals that are manufactured so that the directional orientation of the acceleration sensitivity vector is essentially the same for each crystal. This enables convenient mounting of the crystals to a circuit assembly with consistent alignment of the acceleration vectors. The crystals are aligned with the acceleration vectors in an essentially anti-parallel relationship and can be coupled to the oscillator circuit in either a series or parallel arrangement. Mounting the crystals in this manner substantially cancels the acceleration sensitivity of the composite resonator and oscillator, rendering it less sensitive to vibrational forces and shock events.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Greenray Industries, Inc.Inventors: Steven Fry, Wayne Bolton, John Esterline

Patent number: 4946388Abstract: A dental articulator, having an interim used tripod, reproduces the relationships of the jaws and teeth of respective dental patients. Their upper or maxillary jaw and their lower or mandibular jaw dental casts are positionable in their neuromuscular resting position, or in their full teeth contacting centric occlusion position. Lower and upper trays, are formed like art portions of full display dental casts, and adjustably connected together in opposed disposition, by a U shaped rigid upright support. Dental plaster is used to position and to secure the lower dental cast in the lower tray, while also using, during this interim, a tripod especially preadjusted to the cant of the occlusal plane of a patient's teeth, as determined and recorded from an observance of a patient's lateral cephalometric head X-ray film.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1988Date of Patent: August 7, 1990Inventor: Wayne A. Bolton

Patent number: 4762491Abstract: A hand-operated dental measuring instrument used particularly by orthodontists, dentists, and technicians for rapidly indicating and/or monitoring the incisor tooth labial inclination, which is the inclination of the incisor crown to occlusal plane, of a patient's natural teeth or the plaster cast reproductions of a patient's mouth. The procedure can be carried out before, during, and after orthodontic treatment. A dial indicator is fitted with a custom designed indicator arm tip and a dial face, which comprises the active portion of components which are mounted on a rigid injection molded base, which is the passive portion. When the base is brought into contact with the biting surfaces of a patient's natural teeth or reproductions of the teeth, known as dental casts, the indicator arm tip is adjusted to contact the anterior surface of an incisor tooth.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1987Date of Patent: August 9, 1988Inventor: Wayne A.
