A dentist advisor system includes signaling apparatus by which a patient can non-verbally advise a dentist to interrupt or terminate a dental procedure being performed by the dentist positioned on one side of the patient, and a selected tactile surface selectively operatively associating the signaling apparatus with the hand of the patient on the side of the patient opposite the dentist. Additionally the invention relates to a method and software for data packages received from a transmitting device to at least one receiving device, independent of said transmitting device. The method forecasts an extrapolated volume of production at the time of a forecasted export event.
