Abstract:

The invention provides a three layered reprographic paper having improved strength, stiffness and curl resistance properties, and a method for making same. The paper has a central core layer made largely of cellulose and bulked with a bulking agent such as a diamide salt. A starch-based metered size press coating is pressed on both sides of the core layer, wherein the starch has a high solid content. The coating forms a three layered paper having an I-beam arrangement with high strength outer layers surrounding a low density core.

US Classification:

429008000, 429121000, 429100000

Abstract:

The invention, among other things, relates to a battery that comprises a body, the body including at least a positive terminal and a negative terminal. At least one of the positive terminal and the negative terminal carries a tool, which can be a screwdriver tip. The tool can be, for example, a Phillips screwdriver tip, a Slot-head tip, a Robertson-head tip, an Allen-wrench tip, a hexagonal-head tip, a TORX-head tip, and/or a key. In an alternative embodiment, the invention relates to a sleeve for receiving a battery that comprises a body portion having a cavity adapted to receive and retain the battery, and a tool portion carried by the body portion.

US Classification:

424 49, 977919

Abstract:

A diamond dust polishing agent for home use and professional use in the care of natural tooth enamel and dental veneers comprised of a quantity of diamond dust coated with a lubricant in conjunction with a paste for carrying the lubricant coated diamond dust, or other semi-precious, non-toxic abrasive dust, said diamond dust being of a size of approximately 500 nanometers or less to a size of approximately 5 nanometers. The size of the dust of both the diamond and the semi-precious stone may vary, depending on the degree of abrasiveness and the lubricant employed. The diamond dust (and semi-precious dust) polishing agent permits the user to maintain the polish and luster of the natural tooth enamel and veneer at home without adversely abrading or damaging the surface thereof.

US Classification:

433142

Abstract:

A disposable tooth cleaning article for manually cleaning tooth surfaces is disclosed. The disposable tooth cleaning article extends in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, and has a finger faced surface and an outer surface. The disposable tooth cleaning article comprises a single sheet. The outer surface is provided with a diamond dust polishing agent for home use and professional use in the care of natural tooth enamel and dental veneers comprised of a quantity of diamond dust coated with a lubricant in conjunction with a paste for carrying the lubricant coated diamond dust, or other semi-precious, non-toxic abrasive dust, said diamond dust being of a size of approximately 500 nanometers or less to a size of approximately 5 nanometers. The size of the dust of both the diamond and the semi-precious stone may vary, depending on the degree of abrasiveness and the lubricant employed.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Michael Herman - Brooklyn NY

International Classification:

A61B 500

US Classification:

364413

Abstract:

A method, apparatus and procedure whereby a probe, which in the preferred embodiment is a fiber optic catheter, is used in vivo to acquire intra-cellular data from a host. Under computer control, the system detects the specific nature of the host subject's cell kinetic processes. Cells are assumed to always acquire information about their environs and this information is detected and recognized as constituting friendly or unfriendly environments. Using physical analogies, the computer tracks pairing and unpairing of nucleotide sequences as biological radar. A reference analog is used to vary the view of the data-base so that selected portions or subsets of the available analogies lend themselves to sensory presentation from the computer to the user. Provision is made for interactive human communication with the host's metabolism while microscopic resolution and forecasting are obtained. The method and procedure is analog driven and may be embodied in a variety of hardware and software mixes.
