  • Publication number: 20210291329
    Abstract: A handheld machine tool, in particular an impact driver, having a drive train for driving a tool receptacle, provided for receiving a tool, in particular a screwdriver tool, about a rotation axis, wherein the drive train has a drive motor, an output shaft element, on which the tool receptacle is arranged, and a drive shaft, which is drivable by the drive motor, for driving the output shaft element, wherein the output shaft element is rotatably mounted by means of an output pivot bearing and the drive shaft is rotatably mounted by means of a drive pivot bearing about the rotation axis in respect of a machine housing, and wherein the output shaft element rotatably mounted by means of a shaft bearing arrangement on the drive shaft about the rotation axis. The shaft bearing arrangement has at least two shaft bearings, which are arranged adjacent to each other in relation to the rotation axis and differ by at least one mechanical property.

  • Patent number: 10130446
    Abstract: Method for determining a position and an orientation of a dental implant includes scanning a surface of a scan body connected to the implant wherein a plurality of data points is determined which correspond to positions of points that are located on the surface of the scan body. The method further included reconstructing at least three planes based on the data points, reconstructing intersection information of the reconstructed planes, where the intersection information includes the reconstruction of straight intersection lines and of intersection points, and determining the position and the orientation of the implant based on the reconstructed intersection information.

  • Patent number: 9351765
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a securing device that is used to secure a fixation device to two bone portions to promote healing between the two bone portions. The bone portions commonly include a skull bone portion and a skull bone flap or implant, and the fixation device is commonly a cranial clamp. The securing device provides for securing the fixation device in a uniform, single movement as opposed to currently available products. The securing device has two handles pivotably connected, and a gripping means moveably associated with one handle. As the handles are activated, the gripping means travels proximally along the one handle and grips an elongated section of the fixation device and exerts a tensioning force along the shaft of the elongated section prior to the cutting means cutting the elongated shaft to secure the fixation device in place.
