  • Patent number: 11941756
    Abstract: This invention discloses a computer-implemented method for determining production values for producing a custom-tailored knitted garment for a limb of a person. A 3D scan device acquires a three-dimensional data of a limb. A height value describing the dimension of a knitting row in the lengthwise direction of the limb and a total length value for at least one lengthwise section of the garment are provided, and the number of knitting rows for one section of the garment is determined by dividing the total length value by the height value. A circumference information describing the circumference of the limb is derived by evaluating the three-dimensional dataset. A circumference value for each n-th knitting row or each knitting row except every n-th knitting row is determined from the circumference information. The circumference value is used for determining production values for the knitted garment.

  • Patent number: 11629439
    Abstract: The invention relates to a compressive knitted fabric consisting of at least one stitch-forming basic knitting thread, at least one inserted and/or knitted elastic weft thread and at least one plush thread plaited, at least partially, onto the basic knitting thread and forming plush loops, wherein the at least one plush thread is an adhesive thread in order to give the compressive knitted fabric an anti-slip effect.

  • Patent number: 11426244
    Abstract: A medical or dental system with at least one first transmitting and/or receiving unit and at least one second transmitting and/or receiving unit, wherein the at least two transmitting and/or receiving units are designed for the capacitive coupling of electric signals into and/or out of a human body, so that an electric path which extends through the human body of the user and/or of the person to be treated can be established for the transmission of electric signals between the at least one first transmitting and/or receiving unit and the at least one second transmitting and/or receiving unit, in order to transmit data between the at least two transmitting and/or receiving units.

  • Publication number: 20210274874
    Abstract: Computer-implemented method for determining production values for producing a custom-tailored, in particular skin-tight, knitted garment (31) for a limb (3) of a person, comprising the steps of receiving a three-dimensional dataset (11) of the limb (3) acquired using a 3D scan device (21), receiving at least one height value describing the dimension of a knitting row (9) in the lengthwise direction of the limb (3) and at least one total length value for at least one lengthwise section (4) of the garment (31) and determining a number of knitting rows (9) for the at least one section (4) of the garment (31) by dividing the total length value by the height value, evaluating the three-dimensional dataset (11) to derive a circumference information describing the circumference of the limb (3) along at least the length of the limb (3) covered by the at least one section (4), from the circumference information, determining a circumference value for each n-th knitting row (9) or each knitting row (9) except every n

  • Patent number: 10874480
    Abstract: A coupling device for detachably connecting a medical or dental instrument to a drive unit or a supply hose for transfer of at least one of data, energy, a driving movement and a working medium between the drive unit or the supply hose and the instrument includes a first coupling element and a second coupling element. One of the coupling elements includes a coupling recess and the other includes a coupling protrusion insertable therein. One of the coupling elements includes a positioning element and the other includes an indentation into which the positioning element can be inserted to position the coupling elements in a defined angular position about a shared axis. One of the coupling elements includes a memory unit for storage of data and the other includes a transfer unit, so that data can be transferred from the memory unit by the transfer unit to the other coupling element.
