Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100034750COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF DEMINERALISATION - The invention relates to a composition for the detection of tooth demineralisation. More specifically, the invention concerns a composition comprising a complex capable of producing an optical signal characteristic of the presence of free ions, the pharmaceutical uses of such a composition, and methods and a kit for the detection of active demineralisation at tooth surfaces using such a composition.02-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080280248Dental Electrode Assembly - There is described an electrode assembly for passing electrical current through at least part of a tooth, the assembly comprising: an electrode holder; and a plurality of resilient projecting elements coupled to the holder, each element comprising one or more electrodes, the assembly being arranged in use such that when the assembly is positioned adjacent a tooth, the electrodes contact respective parts of at least one surface of the tooth. The assembly is preferably for use in A.C. impedance spectroscopy for caries detection and monitoring.11-13-2008
20100137722NON-IONISING IMAGER - A medical imager, primarily for use in oral and dental applications. The imager has a source for providing a plurality of collimated beams of non-ionizing radiation, in particular near-infrared light, and a plurality of correlated detectors. Each detector is arranged to receive unscattered light from one or part of one of said collimated beams and scattered light from one or more other beams. The imager further comprises means for using both the unscattered and scattered light to form an image. 06-03-2010
20100303925REMINERALISATION OF CALCIFIED TISSUE - The disclosure concerns cosmetic and therapeutic treatment of tissue, such as tooth, to effect, for instance, whitening and tissue re-building through mineralisation and including kits for use in the methods.12-02-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120055669SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING A PARAMETER OF A SUBTERRANEAN FORMATION USING SWELLABLE MATERIALS - A system for monitoring a parameter of a subterranean formation using swellable materials is disclosed. The system may include a sensor device configured to detect a parameter of a subterranean formation. The system may also include a swellable material configured to position the sensor device toward a surface of the subterranean formation by swelling of the swellable material. The system may further include a telescoping section coupled to the sensor device and emplaced in the swellable material. The telescoping section may be configured to extend with the positioning of the sensor device.03-08-2012

20100199609STACKABLE CONTAINERS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING, STACKING, AND SHIPPING THE SAME - Stackable containers that, in various embodiments, are adapted to be vertically and/or horizontally interlocked with other, like, containers to, for example, increase the stability of stacks of the containers. In one embodiment, a stackable container comprises: (A) a top surface comprising a shoulder portion that extends upwardly from the top surface and that is substantially disposed within a perimeter defined by the top surface; (B) a bottom surface defining a stacking recess; (C) a plurality of substantially vertical side surfaces that extend between the top surface and the bottom surface. In various embodiments, a recessed portion of the bottom surface adjacent the stacking recess is adapted to substantially mate with at least a portion of a shoulder portion of a like container.08-12-2010
