Abstract: A method and apparatus for vibrating a dental scaler insert at its resonant frequency which includes an energizing coil and an automatically tuned oscillating circuit is disclosed. The oscillating circuit is automatically tuned to vibrate a scaler insert at its resonant frequency in response to an impedance of the energizing coil. The energizing coil impedance is responsive to a scaler insert positioned within the energizing coil. Additionally, the dental scaler device can be operated with scaling inserts having different mechanical resonant frequencies associated therewith. Accordingly, dental scaler inserts resonant at about 25kHz or 30kHz may be inserted and operated by the dental scaler device of the present invention. The apparatus for vibrating a dental scaler may also include a feature permitting the operator to temporarily increase an amplitude of vibration of the scaler insert to enable the operator to dislodge stubborn calculus from a patient's teeth.

Abstract: A method for selectively muting a portion of a digital audio file has a user account that is associated to a PC device and is managed by a remote server. The system for executing the method has a set of playback modulation processes that enable the user to control how an audio file is played. The method begins by inputting the audio file into a splitter process in order to identify a set of distinct audio tracks. The method then identifies every word found in the audio file and synchronizes a textual transcript of the words with a timeline of the song. The user is then prompted to mute a desired track from the set of distinct audio tracks. Additionally, the user can select a desired process to further manipulate one or more distinct tracks from the set of distinct audio tracks.

Abstract: A concrete mold device for vertically forming a concrete panel includes a plurality of concrete forms for collectively defining a mold cavity for receiving an uncured concrete mixture therein. The concrete forms can include a pair of opposing side wall forms to define side wall surfaces of the mold cavity and a pair of opposing end wall forms to define end wall surfaces of the mold cavity. An elongate lower support gasket can also be provided and can have an upper surface that defines a bottom surface of the mold cavity. The lower support gasket can have gasket side walls to abut against at least a portion of each of the side wall forms to provide a seal between the lower support gasket and the side wall forms to retain the concrete mixture within the mold cavity.

Abstract: A multi-modal system and method for providing automated directory assistance that can be personalized, and provide current information and promotions from a variety of businesses customers in need of goods and services that can be location sensitive. The multi-modal system can contain a database where business information can be categorized using parameters such as location sensitivity to make dialogs between customers and the system more efficient and valuable. Search results can be presented to customers using algorithms that prioritize the results using weighting schemes based on factors comprising for example proximity, relevancy, location, availability of promotions, and accessibility, and that randomize the prioritized results. The system abstracts the interface to this contact point, allowing businesses and customers to use different types of communication devices, including voice, messaging, web, and wap. Electronic marketing systems such as embedded customer relationship management, e-coupons, e-notifications, and location based services can also be included.

Abstract: Multimedia files, such as audio programming, are currently available to Internet users through a combination of their personal computer, an optional portable digital audio player, and an Internet connection. Many audio programs are now currently distributed over the Internet in a syndicated form known as a “podcast”, allowing users to access the latest version or “episode” of the program. The disclosed systems and methods provide a convenient, publicly-accessible system for allocating and using dedicated phone numbers to enable access to these programs. A person can simply place a telephone call and listen to such syndicated or otherwise distributed audio programming through the telephone network without the use of a computer or portable digital audio player.
