| 20110017220 | SELF-TITRATABLE MANDIBULAR REPOSITIONING DEVICE - The present technology provides a mandibular repositioning device (MRD) which may be self titratable. The MRD may be repositioned relative to the maxilla, e.g., the mandible may be brought, via the device, to a position forward of a neutral resting and/or bite position. The MRD allows for adjusting the maintained forward position by simply biting-down to preserve the desired degree of mandibular advancement. The present technology also allows for movement of the mandible in a lateral direction. The lateral movement is allowed for any forward longitudinal positioning of the mandible. The MRD may use a plurality of components that are coupled together and allow for lateral and longitudinal motion between each other. The present technology may be used in MRDs which may be self-fitted, typically by immersing the device in hot water and then biting into the device, making an impression of the teeth in the softened thermoplastic polymer. It may also be applied to MRDs that do not require any fitting to the teeth and to devices that are custom-fabricated by dental labs. | 01-27-2011 |

| 20110206197 | Method and System of Enabling Electronic Communication Without Knowledge of Receiving Party's Electronic Contact Information - By providing identification information for a second party, a first party may access address profiles to send an electronic communication to the second party without knowing the electronic contact information for the second party. The address profiles are created by collecting electronic contact information from a plurality of public and private sources. A code may then be assigned to the information from each source for each party identified. Codes from respective sources may then be analyzed for similarities in order to identify codes that may correspond to the same party above a similarity threshold. When codes correspond above the similarity threshold for the same party, an address profile may be associated with the codes and may be associated with the same party. An internal identifier may then be assigned to the address profile to, for example, identify the address profile and/or the matched codes associated with the address profile so that the address profile may be accessed without knowledge of whose address profile is be accessed. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20110305603 | Embedded Photocatalyst for Hydrogen Perioxide Protection - Embodiments of the present invention combine a suitable photocatalyst with a non-conducting matrix such as plastic or rubber for the purpose of the production of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of light of a suitable frequency or frequencies and oxygenated, acidic water. A suitable photocatalyst such as Anatase titanium dioxide is combined at low temperature (>˜700 F) with a plastic such as polypropylene as one would a pigment. The impregnated plastic can be immersed in water to about an inch whereupon the excess hydrogen ion in the water combines with dissolved oxygen to produce hydrogen peroxide upon irradiation. Hydrogen peroxide is a excellent oxidizer and disinfectant and purifier and goes on to kill bacteria, algae, etc. in the water, as well as to precipitate hardness. Unused hydrogen peroxide breaks down into hydrogen ion and free oxygen in a short time. | 12-15-2011 |
