  • Patent number: 11217954
    Abstract: A method provides for producing a cable connection assembly including an electrical cable connected to a cable connector. The cable connector is positioned on a conductor end portion, so that a portion of the insulating layer is at least partially surrounded by the cable connector. The conductor end portion is disposed within a fastening tube, so that a first tube portion of the fastening tube surrounds the cable connector, and a second tube portion of the fastening tube surrounds the cable jacket. The fastening tube is pressed between strip-shaped pressing surfaces which are disposed around a central axis at a constant distance therefrom. During the pressing step, the first tube portion is pressed to a first inner diameter and the second tube portion is pressed to a second inner diameter greater than the first inner diameter.

  • Patent number: 9532859
    Abstract: An electronic register device for recording movements of the lower jaw of a person relative to the upper jaw of the person, the device having a bite fork for recording a position of the upper jaw relative to reference points on the head of the person, wherein the bite fork is designed to receive a plastic compound for recording an impression of the dentition of the upper jaw. The register device further includes a lower-jaw attachment for recording movements of the lower jaw relative to the upper jaw. In addition, the register device has a reference body, wherein the register device is designed so that the reference body can be connected in a fixed position to the bite fork. The bite fork and the reference body connected thereto in a fixed position are designed in such a way that both the impression and also the reference body can be recorded by a scanning procedure. In this way, it is possible to establish a relationship between the scanned impression and the movement data recorded by the register device.

  • Publication number: 20100143859
    Abstract: A dental face-bow comprising a base part, two side arms that extend from the base part and two positioning elements, for example ear pieces for positioning the face-bow on the head of the patient. The positioning elements are situated on the side arms and can be displaced in relation to the side arms. The face-bow is also provided with a displacement device which is used to simultaneously displace the two positioning elements in relation to the side arms. To drive the positioning elements, a dial, which is situated on the base part, can be used for example to turn a flexible shaft that is rotatably mounted inside the two side arms. the two ends of the shaft are equipped with gears that co-operate with gear rods on the positioning elements. This arrangement permits the face-bow to be placed on a patient extremely gently, as there is in particular no relative displacement of the side arms.
