Abstract: For producing dentures, a new method and a device render it possible to evaluate and shape movements generated by the individual jaw joints of the patient such that work with appropriate articulators becomes possible, which employ the individual jaw joints as articulation joints and thus carry out the identical movements. The known articulators are equipped with joint-space duplicates such that they can be employed with optimal equipment for the respective patient. The support pin is moved back as fixing pin in the retral space of the articulator such that it does not constitute an impediment when working on and when inspecting the jaw models arranged on the frame upper part and the frame base part. Moreover, setting different biting positions is made significantly easier, because the frame upper part is fixed to a swivel arch of the frame base part by an adjustable position stabilizer but can also be detached.

Abstract: A drilling tool is disclosed. The drilling tool includes a drilling stub, a cutting element attached to the drilling stub, and a fastening section for fastening onto a tool holder. The fastening section is divided into at least one guide region and one locking region, where at least one interlocking geometry, which protrudes in the axial direction beyond the remaining locking region, and which in particular is a bulge, is designed for transmission of a torque from the tool holder to the drilling tool, and the at least one interlocking geometry has two abutting surfaces each in the tangential direction. One first abutting surface of the two abutting surfaces is designed essentially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the drilling tool and the first abutting surface serves to transmit the torque.

The nitrilase according to the invention is related to nitrilase from acidovorax facilis.

Abstract: A gaming system identifies players in a game. A player interaction score may be computed for an identified player. One or more engagement actions may be generated based on the player interaction score. The gaming system may engage the identified player according to the one or more engagement actions. In some embodiments, the player interaction score may be used to categorize the identified player in a player segment, which in turn may be used as a basis for generating engagement actions.

Abstract: A gaming system may include an event filter to identify players as targets for engagement. The player may be modeled to predict what they might do under a given situation. One or more engagement actions may be developed based at least on the player's predicted behaviour. The player is then engaged in accordance with the engagement actions. Results from engagements with many players may be assessed and the gaming system may be adjusted according to the assessment.

Abstract: A game system identifies players in a game. A player model may be provided that predicts whether or not an identified player is going to make a payment. Additional player models may be provided that predict whether or not a player is going to make a payment for specific virtual items in the game. The game system may engage the identified player based on the virtual items the player is predicted to make payments on.

Abstract: A gaming system may include an event filter to identify a player as a target for engagement. The gaming system may engage the player in a dialogue with a non-player character to conduct a discussion with the player relating to the events that resulted in engaging the player. In some embodiments, the dialogue may include a pre-event game analysis. The dialogue may include recommendations or suggestions for improving the player's performance, and may include offering virtual game items to the player.

Abstract: A method for determining a suitability of a route including a plurality of sections for traveling on by a driver of a vehicle. The method has a step of determining a fatigue prediction value, which predicts a fatigue of the driver of the vehicle for at least one section of the route. The method also has a step of carrying out a comparison of the fatigue prediction value to a maximum fatigue value that is assigned to the at least one section of the route. Finally, the method has a step of weighting the route with a fatigue weighting that is a function of the comparison, in order to determine the suitability of the route for traveling on by the driver.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method is provided for transmitting data. In this method, a number from a sequence of numbers is identified, and each number from the sequence is associated with a time interval. A random number is generated and it is compared with the identified number. In reference to the time interval associated with the identified number, transmission of the data to the electronic device is initiated based on the comparison.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining and regulating the temperature of an article with inductive properties which is heated inductively by means of an induction device, wherein the induction device contains an induction coil, means for producing an induction resonant circuit and a support element arranged above the induction coil and having a first side, which acts as support face for the article, and a second side, which is directed towards the inductive coil. At least one temperature sensor is fitted to the second side. The resonant frequency of the induction resonant circuit is measured via detection means and the temperature of the article is calculated from the measured resonant frequency, wherein the resonant frequency is related to the temperature of the article by virtue of a mathematical function, and the function is determined by determining at least two absolute temperature calibration values of the article at respectively different resonant frequencies.

Abstract: A benchmarking computing application is configured to create a benchmark run for a segment of customer profiles. Customer profiles from the segment include a parameter, termed an adjustment parameter, that may affect energy consumption by the associated customer. The results of the benchmark run include energy consumption values for individual customer profiles in the segment, an average energy consumption value for the entire segment of customer profiles, and also adjustment energy consumption value. The adjustment energy consumption value reflects the portion of energy consumption by a particular customer attributed to the difference between the average value of the adjustment parameter for the segment and the value of the adjustment parameter for the particular customer profile.
