Infrared face image data is obtained (11) on a person (P) who is a subject of discrimination using an image signal (VDA) from a television camera (2A); the cheek region and jaw region temperatures of the subject (P) are sampled based on the infrared face image data; the averages of the temperatures are calculated (15, 16); cheek data / jaw data is calculated (17); and a cheek emphasized variance value is calculated (18). The cheek data / jaw data and cheek emphasized variance value are mapped on an XY plane (19), and gender discrimination of the person (P) is conducted based on the result. In addition, gender discrimination is conducted using the cheek data / jaw data (21) and gender discrimination is conducted using the cheek emphasized variance value (22), and gender identification is conducted in accordance with agreement between two or more of the multiple gender discrimination results (24).

A hand tool having first and second plier units attached to one another where a jaw region is operatively configured to have a work piece to be placed therein and a handle region is configured to be used by the user of the tool to grasp the work piece. A tension member is provided to be positioned past a dead point axis so as to apply a clamping force upon the jaw member and the hand tool maintains a grip upon the work piece without continuous interaction with the user of the tool.

An osteosynthesis plate is described, which is suitable for treating jaw fractures. The osteosynthesis plate has a plane of the plate as well as two plate sections 12, 14 with associated longitudinal axes 16, 18 extending substantially within the plane of the plate and inclined or staggered with respect to one another. Through openings 20, 22 inclined to the plane of the plate are formed in each of the two plate sections 12, 14. The angular alignments of the through openings 20, 22 within the plane of the plate differ with respect to a longitudinal axis 16 serving as reference line from one another by less than approximately 60°. In applications in the jaw region this slight deviation of the angular alignments permits an intraoral securement of the osteosynthesis plate. A transbuccal access through the cheek can thus be dispensed with.

The invention relates to a medical tool and to a method for using the medical tool for removing tooth fragments, in particular tooth roots and / or remainders of tooth roots, from a tooth socket or an alveole in the region of the jaw.

A method is provided for relief of head, face and jaw pain by achieving the release of intra oral muscle spasms, trigger points, and myofascial dysfunction. The steps include locating intra oral treatment points, including locations of intra oral muscle spasms, trigger points, and myofascial dysfunction, in the mouth and jaw region of a human subject. A handheld device is provided with a central gripping portion, a first generally arcuate arm extending from one end of the gripping portion and terminating in a generally bulbous tip, and a second generally arcuate arm extending from the other end of the gripping portion and terminating in a generally flattened tip. The subject's mouth is opened sufficiently to pass one of the tips into the mouth. One of the tips is inserted in the subject's mouth and the tip is brought into contact with one of the treatment points. Pressure is applied to the treatment point until a release response occurs.

The present invention provides a mask. The mask plate includes: a rectangular area; two jaw areas, the two jaw areas are respectively located on two opposite sides of the rectangular area, and the jaw areas have first sides and The third side, the second side and the fourth side, the first side is located on the side of the rectangular area, and the minimum horizontal distance between the second side and the fourth side is smaller than the side length of the first side. Therefore, when the mask is stretched, the flatness and sag of the mask can be effectively improved; and compared with the mask of the existing structure, the number of jaw areas of the mask of the present application Less, it can reduce the complexity of stretching and simplify the simulation; at the same time, it can break through the limit on the size of the mask and design a mask with a larger size.

An orthodontic device for the segmental distalization of a posterior jawbone area is disclosed. The orthodontic device comprises a mesial element having a mesial base surface for attachment to a premolar or a canine, a projection for coupling with a traction element, and an arm comprising an elongate transverse pin at a distal end of the arm, and a distal base having a distal base surface configured for attachment to a molar, and a receptacle for receiving the transverse pin. A first axis is defined as being substantially perpendicular to the distal base surface, and the transverse pin has a mesial surface and a distal surface, an interior shape of the receptacle is such that the rotation about the first axis is limited by the mesial and / or distal surface touching against an inside of thereceptacle. The disclosure also relates to orthodontic kits.

The invention discloses an anti-skid pliers handle for multifunctional folding pliers and a manufacturing method thereof. The main body of the pliers handle adopts an integrated design, and the upper surface and the lower surface are provided with sinking platforms. The surfaces are connected, and the anti-slip part covers the outer surface of the main body of the pliers handle and the area where the sinking platform is located. In this way, the anti-slip part can be firmly combined with the pliers handle, and the upper and lower surfaces of the pliers handle and the side anti-slip parts form a complete whole, which enhances the firmness and anti-slip performance of the anti-slip part. In particular, since the main body of the pliers handle is an integral structure, the main body of the pliers handle can be directly put into the injection mold, and the non-slip part and the pliers handle are integrally formed and closely combined by using the overmolding process. At the same time, a number of ribs arranged in parallel can be provided on the side of the anti-skid component to enhance the anti-skid performance. Through the perfect combination of structure and technology, compared with traditional products and processing methods, the present invention reduces assembly time, improves production efficiency and reduces cost.

The invention belongs to the technical field of radiotherapy, and relates to an automatic detection and correction method, device and storage medium for head tilt in CT images. The method includes the following steps: performing binarization operation on the whole body CT image; searching for the maximum connected region, deleting all non-maximally connected regions, and removing the non-main body parts in each layer of CT images, and only keeping the main body parts; judging shoulder The junction layer between the head and the neck; determine the best jaw bone layer; perform ellipse fitting on the jaw bone area in the best jaw bone layer; record the centroid of the jaw bone and the centroid of the fitting ellipse; determine the body position and implement head correction . The invention can quickly and effectively detect the inclination and orientation of the head in the CT image, and then provide accurate parameter information for the inclination correction of the head image; it has the advantages of low computational complexity, short time consumption, high noise resistance, and good data adaptation advantages; this method can also be extended to correct human body tilt in different scenarios, and has good scalability.
