20110275028 | GINGIVAL TISSUE RETRACTION DEVICE AND METHOD - A method and a device for effecting the cordless retraction of the gingival sulcus tissue that includes a dam shaped to be fitted onto a tooth. In one embodiment, the well of the dam is pre-filled with a predetermined amount of a flowable retraction material having a heavy viscosity or putty consistency. In another embodiment a hydrophilic material is added. The preloaded tooth dam is fitted to a prepared tooth so that when pressure is applied onto the tooth dam, the retraction material is displaced under pressure and forced into the sulcus, causing the gingival tissue to retract away from the tooth to enlarge the gingival sulcus. In another embodiment the cap is filled with a dilatant material. In another embodiment, the cap is filled with an impregnated compressible porous material. In yet another embodiment, the cap is pre-dosed with an astringent or hemostatic agent. | 11-10-2011 |

A mirrored surface may be placed on the central body portion for improving visibility in the mouth. In a unilateral bite block embodiment, the unilateral bite block is placed in only one side of the mouth. In another quadrant embodiment a bite extension extends out of an opposing side of the patent's mouth and facilitates holding the patient's mouth open. The bite block may be made inexpensively and is disposable. | 04-12-2012 |
20130149665 | DENTAL WEDGE WITH COATNG - A non-porous dental wedge having a surface coating of a material for aiding a dental procedure. A thin coating of an adhesive and particles having a particle size less than 200 microns is placed on the surface of the non-porous dental wedge. The material is preferable an astringent.

20130273495 | PRELOADED DENTAL CAP AND RETRACTION MATERIAL FOR GINGIVAL TISSUE RETRACTION - A method and a device for effecting the cordless retraction of the gingival sulcus tissue that includes a cap or dam to be fitted onto a tooth. The well of the cap is pre-filled with a predetermined amount of a flowable non-setting kaolin based retraction material having a heavy viscosity or putty consistency. The preloaded cap is fitted to a prepared tooth so that when pressure is applied onto the cap, the retraction material is displaced under pressure and forced to flow into the sulcus, causing the gingival tissue to retract away from the tooth to enlarge the gingival sulcus. An internal ridge aids in retaining the retraction material within the cap. | 10-17-2013 |
20140087330 | DENTAL RETRACTION CORD FACILITATING ABSORPTION AND BLOOD CLOTTING - A retraction cord for use in a dental procedure for widening the gingival sulcus containing kaolin. The kaolin acts as a hemostatic agent and an absorber or hydrophilic agent to reduce bleeding and dry the gingival sulcus. A binder may be used to aid in retention of the kaolin on the fibers of the retraction cord. A lubricant or release agent may be used preventing blood clots from sticking to the retraction cord upon removal. Kaolin is affected and has no adverse side effects. | 03-27-2014 |

20100044499 | Six rotor helicopter - A rotary wing aircraft is provided having at least three rotor pairs. Each rotor pair has an upper rotor and a lower rotor. During operation, the upper rotor and lower rotor rotate around a shared rotor axis with the upper rotor rotating in a first direction and the lower rotor rotating in an opposite direction By independently controlling the speed of rotation of each upper rotor and each lower rotor the aircraft can be made to ascend, descend, move forward, move backward, move side to side, yaw right and yaw left by only varying the relative speeds of rotations of the upper rotors and lower rotors. | 02-25-2010 |
20100108801 | Dual rotor helicopter with tilted rotational axes - A rotary wing aircraft apparatus includes a body and a rotor pair connected to the body by an arm. The rotor pair has an upper rotor driven by an upper motor and rotating about an upper rotor axis and a lower rotor driven by a lower motor and rotating about a lower rotor axis. The upper and lower rotor axes are tilted with respect to each other. Tilting the axes away from the arm increases the distance from the rotor blades to the arm, and decreases the risk of the blades of the rotor contacting the arm. In an aircraft with a plurality of arms extending from the body, and a rotor assembly connected to each arm, the arms can be pivoted from a flying position, where the arms extend laterally outward to a folded position where the arms are positioned substantially parallel and adjacent to each other. | 05-06-2010 |

The upper and lower rotor axes are tilted with respect to each other. Tilting the axes away from the arm increases the distance from the rotor blades to the arm, and decreases the risk of the blades of the rotor contacting the arm. In an aircraft with a plurality of arms extending from the body, and a rotor assembly connected to each arm, the arms can be pivoted from a flying position, where the arms extend laterally outward to a folded position where the arms are positioned substantially parallel and adjacent to each other. | 06-07-2012 |
20140061362 | VEHICLE WITH AERIAL AND GROUND MOBILITY - A combination rotor and wheel assembly for an unmanned vehicle with ground and aerial mobility has a rotor arm adapted to be attached at an inner end thereof to a vehicle body. A rotor is rotatably connected to an outer end of the rotor arm about a rotor axis, and a rotor drive mounted on the rotor arm rotates the rotor such that the rotor exerts an upward lift force on the rotor arm. An open spoked wheel is rotatably connected about the rotor axis independent of the rotor The diameter of the wheel is greater than that of the rotor, and a bottom edge of the wheel is below the rotor. A wheel drive rotates the wheel. Vehicles can have various numbers and orientations of the rotor and wheel assembly to provide aerial and ground mobility. | 03-06-2014 |
