Abstract

A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: determining an incrementally progressive series of adjustment appliances, each of the series of adjustment appliances having geometries selected to progressively reposition teeth; and determining for each of the series of adjustment appliances, a vertical displacement and a forward mandibular position for treating sleep apnea. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

Assignee

Margaret Anderson (Jackson, MS)

International Classification

H04N 7/18

U.S. Classification

348148000

Abstract

A back seat monitoring apparatus is provided for a vehicle which includes a back seat, an interior ceiling, a dashboard, and a steering wheel. The subject apparatus includes a closed-circuit television camera mounted on the interior ceiling for viewing the back seat. A monitor screen is mounted in the vehicle for forward viewing by a driver of the vehicle who is sitting on the front seat. The monitor screen is electrically connected to the closed-circuit television camera. With the invention, the driver can safely face forward while observing the monitor screen which displays what is happening on the back seat. The closed-circuit television camera and the monitor screen are battery powered, preferably by the vehicle battery. Preferably, the monitor screen is mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle. An actuator switch, for activating the closed-circuit television camera and/or the monitor screen, can be mounted on the steering wheel of the vehicle.

U.S. Classification

Abstract

A plant pot drainage system has a pot or planter-type container with potting soil. Lightweight, non-mineral rock shaped filler elements are located in the lower section of the container. The elements are irregular in shape, allowing the potting soil to fill spaces between the elements. This promotes drainage and proper root growth within the container. The elements are formed from synthetic, crush-proof material, for example high strength plastic, and can be hollow, to enhance the lightweight nature of the elements. Use of these filler elements ensures that the planted container can be easily lifted and readily transported.
