  • Patent number: 7189344
    Abstract: A method for producing a synthetic material part such as, for example, a dental restorative part, is provided and includes spray applying with a spray device a material having at least a polymerizable synthetic material onto a base in succeeding layers. Each layer of the spray applied material is substantially continuously polymerized by the spray device and has a viscosity which permits working of the applied material in an unpolymerized condition thereof with the spray device. The method also includes hardening the one or more of the already applied layers prior to the application of subsequent layers.

  • Publication number: 20060010772
    Abstract: The invention relates to a path-guided window lifter for a motor vehicle, with a guideway in a guide plate, two slide elements interacting with the upper and lower side of the guide plate for guiding the follower perpendicular to the surface of the guide plate and with an additional slide element which interacts through slide faces with opposite flanks of the guideway and guides the follower in the surface of the guide plate. The object of the present invention is to develop a window lifter of this kind so that increased wear on the slide block can be counteracted. The slide faces are attached spring-elastically to the additional slide element.

  • Patent number: 6338771
    Abstract: In a process and an apparatus for detaching a lining of thin composite material from a central region, the detachment operation is effected in a continuous procedure with the composite material in the form of an endless web. The composite material passes as a treatment region successively through an initial dissolution region and a deactivation region, in each of which inter alia moisture is fed to the composite material. The residence times in those regions are controllable independently of each other and at least at the end of those regions a respective operation for the preliminary removal of moisture from the composite material is effected. After the last region the composite material is subjected to a drying operation and the lining is detached from the central material by their being moved away from each other.
