As disclosed in U. S. Pat. No. 6,246,558; there is disclosed resettable circuit interrupting devices, such as GFCI devices, that include a reset lockout portion that prevents the reestablishing of electrical continuity if the circuit interrupting portion is non-operational. There is here disclosed a circuit interrupting portion which prevents the armature of a solenoid from moving if the circuit interrupting portion is not operational.

A GFCI having a fault indicator device or signaling device that provides a continuous audible/visual indication of a failure condition of the GFCI is disclosed herein. A failure condition may occur when continuous current flows through the terminals of a trip coil caused by a failed or damaged component such as a TRIAC or SCR of a GFCI. The failure indicator is coupled across the trip coil in the trip mechanism thereby allowing the indicator to detect the current flow. By placing such a visual and/or audible signaling device across the trip coil terminals, the shorted TRIAC or SCR provides continuous power to the coil terminals and the signaling device, even after the coil has burned out, thereby reminding a user to replace the GFCI receptacle. The signaling device can be implemented as an LED, neon lamp, buzzer or other device. The signaling device also can be activated momentarily in normal operating situations whenever the trip coil of the GFCI detects a ground fault condition or when a reset button is pressed.

Mastication force dampening dental implant has a cylindrical casing adapted to be implanted in a jawbone. A resilient insert is mounted in the casing and has a first shaftway. A nut is anchored in the insert coaxially with the first shaftway. A threaded shaft is mounted in the first shaftway, the shaft being threaded into the nut. The shaft has a second shaftway in its top portion. A head is fixedly connected to the first shaft at the top of the casing. A tooth or denture retention post is mounted on the head. The retention post is removably mounted in the top of the second shaftway.

One form of artificial modular denture, and the method of producing same, includes an assembly of hard prosthetic teeth permanently secured to a U-shaped hard base structure with a terminus of the hard base structure disposed a short distance rearwardly of the incisor areas of the assembly of the prosthetic teeth, with a palatal vault member adapted to substantially conform with the palatal vault area of the patient's mouth being fitted with the artificial denture. The palatal vault member being selected from a set of palatal vault members having differently contoured configurations, and retaining means is provided for individually releasably connecting the palatal vault members to the assembly so as to permit the selection of the most suitably fitting one of the set of palatal vault members for use as part of the artificial denture. Another form of artificial modular denture, and the method of producing same, includes a palatal vault member being formed only of deflectibly formable material and capable of being easily deflectibly formed upwardly and set into closely conforming relation with any one of a variety of different palatal vault areas of human mouths for preliminary impression forming of said palatal vault member in any one of several different human mouths. The palatal vault member being removably connected to the base, with the removably connected relationship capable of sustaining the forces applied to the palatal vault member by an uncured hardenably hard liner material in fluid form provided on the palatal vault member and the base recess during insertion in the patient's mouth and forming of the hard uncured material into impression conformance with the palatal vault member and the toothless gum area of the patient's mouth to form a hard liner.
