Abstract:
A non-contact laser handpiece contains optical components modified to provide a high- density uniform laser beam at a distance from the handpiece that minimizes effects of back reflection.
Abstract:
A satellite platform facilitates the dividing of a laser system into functional modules, and provides one or more of the functional module (e.g. articulated arm, handpiece, control panel) in a user's operational space while part, or a majority of the laser system may remain away from the user's operational space (e.g., on the wall, on the counter-top or at the walk-way).
Abstract:
A laser device that includes a dual pulse-width laser-pumping circuit generates long and short laser pulses. The laser-pumping circuit employs a single power supply with dual high voltage outputs that are selectable under control of a user. The laser device conveniently generates long and short laser pulses or a mix of the two for performing specialized surgical procedures.
Abstract:
A system and method are described for controlling acceptance of a fiber connector. A configurable adapter is employed for connecting fiber connectors to a laser housing. A specific version of the adapter permits connecting both first- or general-purpose and second- or specific-purpose fiber connectors to the laser housing. A less versatile configuration of the adapter permits connecting first- or general-purpose fiber connectors to the laser housing, but rejects second- or specific-purpose fiber connectors.
Abstract:
Se describen piezas bucales que tienen superficies texturizadas activadas que pueden implementarse usando mecanismos de movimiento repetitivos y fuentes emisoras de energia (por ejemplo, radiacion electromagnetica). Las piezas bucales pueden emplearse para proporcionar deteccion, tratamiento y manejo de condiciones, que incluyen decoloracion de dientes y enfermedad periodontal. Implementaciones pueden incluir una pieza bucal de bajo perfil o una pieza bucal que cubre solo los lados frontales de los dientes superiores e inferiores. Otras combinaciones puede incluir implementaciones de toda la boca, adecuadas para cubrir simultaneamente parte o todas las hileras de dientes superiores e inferiores del paciente. Las superficies texturizada activadas pueden incluir topografia superficial que consiste de cerdas.
Abstract:
Outputs of a plurality of electromagnetic energy emitting devices are merged to create merged electromagnetic energy. The merged electromagnetic energy illuminates a target with a spot size larger than a spot size obtained with a single electromagnetic energy emitting device.
