Abstract: A method is provided for generating a texture for a three-dimensional (3D) model of an oral structure. The method includes providing the 3D model of the oral structure in the form of a polygon mesh, identifying a set of points located on the polygon mesh, and determining, for each respective point in the set of points, a respective texture value. Each respective texture value is determined by identifying a set of frames, filtering the set of frames to identify a subset of frames, determining a set of candidate texture values for the respective texture value, computing, for each respective candidate texture value in the set of candidate texture values, a quality factor, and computing the respective texture value for the respective point by combining, based on their respective quality factors, candidate texture values selected from the set of candidate texture values.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for analysis of terminal sections of proteins comprising the steps of— providing one original isolated protein or a mixture of at least 2 original proteins,— digesting the original protein or mixture of original proteins by one exopeptidase, which is a carboxypeptidase or an aminopeptidase, to generate terminal peptide sections of the isolated protein or of the mixture of proteins, and free amino acids,— separating the terminal peptide sections from the free amino acids,— determining the masses, and preferably additionally determining fragmentation spectra, of the terminal peptide sections by mass spectrometry, preferably by ESI-MS/MS, and— comparing the determined masses, and preferably comparing the fragmentation spectra, to pre-determined masses of peptides to identify the amino acid sequences of the terminal peptide sections,— from the determined masses identifying terminal peptide sections— and assigning the terminal peptide sections having the same sequence of terminal a

Abstract: The invention relates to a container for receiving and transporting sensitive plate-like objects, in particular for transporting surface-modified glass substrates. The container comprises an upper part and a lower part. The lower part comprises two lateral sides, two longitudinal sides and a bottom which commonly circumscribe a hollow space for receiving plate-like objects. At each of the lateral sides a series of first ridges is arranged perpendicularly to the bottom, forming a plurality of guide grooves for the plate-like objects. The upper part comprises an inner surface which is parallel to the bottom when the container is closed. At the inner surface at least one second protruding ridge is arranged extending in parallel to both lateral sides along the total inner surface, thus limiting the mobility of the plate-like objects within the guide grooves.

Abstract: A receptacle for receiving plates having a sensitive surface is disclosed which is particularly suited for receiving glass plates having a sensitized surface. The receptacle comprises a container part (12) having four walls (16, 18) and a bottom (24), whereby a hollow space is circumscribed. The receptacle further comprises a removable top (14) for closing the container part (12). The container part (12) comprises guide grooves (28) located at two opposite walls (16, 18) for receiving plates (56). A flexible element (40) formed as a bent tongue is provided integrally with the bottom or cover for securing plates received within the receptacle (10) against movement in longitudinal direction.
