Filed:

Feb 1, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/061649

Inventors:

Barry A. Kligerman - Plantation FL 33322
John C. Stone - Fort Lauderdale FL 33306
Michael Peterson - Delray Beach FL 33444

International Classification:

A61C 800

US Classification:

433173

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for fastening a denture plate with many artificial teeth to a plurality of implants screwed into the bone is disclosed that may be completed on the same day as surgical implantation of the implants. The denture plate is prepared before surgery. A rigid metal bar is prepared that is fitted to register with the implants after the implants have been implanted. The rigid metal bar is affixed to the denture plate. Screws through the bar are received into the top of each implant to thereby secure the bar and the attached denture plate to the implants. This distributes the tooth forces among the implants for enhanced function. The bar is composed of a metal attachment for each implant. A pair of wings extends out from each attachment. The attachments are temporarily mounted on the implants so that wings from adjacent attachments overlap.

International Classification:

A61K 31/505

US Classification:

514274, 514269, 514311, 514312

Abstract:

A novel euthanasia composition for animals, especially companion animals, utilizes a combination of sodium pentobarbital with dibucaine. The composition is easy to administer, fast-acting and relatively painless. A humane method for euthanasia involves administering the composition to animals for which euthanasia is desired.

International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

711/154000, 711/202000

Abstract:

A peripheral device may include an interface configured to interface to a memory bus and a functional unit coupled to the interface and configured to perform a peripheral device function on data accessed by the interface. The interface may be configured to perform a data access in response to memory control, address, and data signals on the memory bus. The functional unit may be configured to perform various peripheral device functions such as data communication functions, video functions, printing functions, mass storage functions, and human interface controller functions.

C11D 1708

US Classification:

134 26

Abstract:

A disinfection solution, primarily for use in conjunction with contact lenses is disclosed comprising an amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable ionic salt which is equivalent in ionic strength to at least 5% w/v sodium chloride, at least one of a C. sub. 2-6 alkanol and a C. sub. 3-8 alkylene glycol, a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant, optionally a buffer, and water.

International Classification:

C10G 102

US Classification:

208 8LE

Abstract:

Scale formation during the liquefaction of lower ranking coals and similar carbonaceous materials is significantly reduced and/or prevented by pretreatment with a combination of pretreating agents comprising SO. sub. 2 and an oxidizing agent. The pretreatment is believed to convert at least a portion of the scale-forming components and particularly calcium, to the corresponding sulfate prior to liquefaction. The pretreatment may be accomplished with the combination of pretreating agents either simultaneously by using a mixture comprising SO. sub. 2 and an oxidizing agent or sequentially by first treating with SO. sub. 2 and then with an oxidizing agent.

International Classification:

G01N 1114

US Classification:

73 59

Abstract:

Electronic control circuitry for obtaining precise inline process control data as to viscosity of fluids over a wide viscosity range, with high tolerance of ambient noise and vibration. An electromechanical transducer with an oscillating sensor is immersed in a flowing liquid, with the power required to sustain predetermined oscillation parameters being a measure of viscosity-density product. The gain of a variable gain amplifier which provides positive feedback to sustain oscillation is controlled in response to the integrated error signal output of a comparator which compares a DC value corresponding to the RMS amplitude of mechanical oscillation with a DC reference value. The monitoring of RMS amplitude rather than peak amplitude (as is done by a phase-sensitive sample-and-hold arrangement in the prior art), coupled integration of the error signal, results in a great improvement in immunity to ambient noise and vibration. Other features includes automatic calibration and temperature compensation whereby viscosity at a desired temperature can be determined even though the measurement is made at different temperature.
