Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking, locating, identifying, or mapping movements of persons or personnel within a facility may include badges carried by individuals throughout the facility. These badges can each include a transmitter configured to transmit signals including signature information identifying the badges and also identifying codes of each signal transmitted. In addition, a plurality of dispensers can be positioned at selected locations of the facility and can include receivers that receive the signals transmitted by the transmitters of the badges. These receivers also can be configured to transmit information related to the received signals to one or more processors configured to identify each badge from which signals are received based upon the signature information and also to determine the proximity, range, distance, or zone between the badge identified and the receivers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for treating teeth associated with tooth structure removal and disinfection, in particular for endodontic procedures such as root canal tissue removal and decay treatment. Traditional methods involve the use of files, reamers, chemicals, drills, and burs, which have many disadvantages. The disclosed method and apparatus are based on the use of micro-tornado forces generated in a small working head attached to a dental hand piece and discharged from an extended cannula into a root canal orifice or a cavity to abrade, cut, and remove the content.

Abstract: A proximity detector comprising, at least one transmitter unit to transmit radiation toward a zone of interest and at least one receiver unit to receive radiation originating from the transmitter and that is reflected back from an obstacle at the zone of interest. A light-transmitter associated with each transmitter unit and a receiver light-transmitter associated with each receiver unit, a control module for controlling, processing a signal received from the receiver unit, to produce a signal responsive to the proximity of the obstacle. The light-transmitters are light-guides made of a rigid and at least translucent material.

Abstract: A system for warning of the proximity of an obstacle within a zone of interest adjacent to a vehicle includes at least one primary sensor configured to produce a primary output indicative of a quantity of electromagnetic radiation incident on the primary sensor from the zone of interest. Also provided is a device for generating a compensation output indicating a quantity of background electromagnetic radiation incident on the primary sensor. A number of transmitters transmit an electromagnetic signal towards the zone of interest. A compensation module responds to the compensation output to vary a transmission power of the electromagnetic signal. A processing module associated with at least the primary sensor generates a warning signal in response to the primary output.
