  • Publication number: 20110083526
    Abstract: A connecting apparatus is provided for an actuating cable on a receiver that includes, but is not limited to a base body, a receiving body for connection to the receiver, two separate housing parts, which surround the receiving body, two damping elements, which are each disposed between one of the housing parts and the base body, and a holder. The holder is displaceably coupled to the housing parts and can be connected to the actuating cable. On actuating the actuating cable, the holder exerts force on a housing part and on a damping element.

  • Publication number: 20100316972
    Abstract: Method for the production of a denture comprising the following steps:—collection of the biometric data of a patient, namely, the toothed or untoothed mandible and maxilla, the sizing of the jaws, the spatial position thereof relative to the skull, the condyle inclination and the movement of the mandible, and the recording of the mandible movement;—implementation of the data in a virtual articulator which is made available in the main memory of the data processing equipment;—CAD construction of the individual articulator preformed parts and dental molded bodies based on the collected patient data;—production of the individual articulator molded bodies and dental molded bodies by means of a generative manufacturing process based on the recorded biometric data;—incorporation of the individual articulator preformed parts and/or dental molded bodies into a standardized articulator housing, or complete generative manufacture of the articulator with individualized molded bodies.

  • Publication number: 20100135073
    Abstract: The invention relates to an organic electronic memory component having an electrode and a counterelectrode and an organic layer arrangement formed between said electrode and counterelectrode and in electrical contact herewith. wherein the organic layer arrangement comprises the following organic layers: an electrode-specific charge carrier transport layer and a counterelectrode-specific charge carrier-blocking layer and disposed between said electrode-specific charge carrier transport layer and counterelectrode-specific charge carrier-blocking layer a memory layer region having a charge carrier-storing layer and a further charge carrier-storing layer between which charge carrier-storing layer and a further charge carrier-storing layer is disposed a charge carrier barrier layer. Furthermore the invention relates to a method for the operating of an organic electronic memory component.

  • Patent number: 7058206
    Abstract: A method and device that increase the performance of prior art systems that recognize and display the contents of traffic signs. The amount of computer capacity required for real time operation is reduced and the display quality of the contents of known traffic signs is improved. The system for recognizing and/or displaying traffic signs comprises a camera and an evaluation unit connected thereto for image recognition and/or display. The system uses information stemming from at least one map-based navigation system and/or one travel information system in order to recognize and/or display the contents of traffic signs.

  • Patent number: 6801638
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process and a device, which make it possible to reliably, with the least amount of computing power, recognize traffic signs and to display these as memory aids for an observer. Image data of an image sensor are analyzed and classified in an information processing unit, and on the basis of the results classification image segments and/or symbolic image representing data stored in a memory unit are recorded in a memory unit and are displayed by means of a display unit. In the further processing of the image data, extracted objects are separated and classified into traffic sign specific upper classes and lower classes. Subsequently, a synthetic image of a traffic sign is generated, stored in a memory unit, and displayed by means of a display unit.

  • Patent number: 6690829
    Abstract: A process for the processing of signals by which signal S is optimally verified for association with objects of a desired class Zk (wherein (with 1<=k<=number of different classes) and differentiated from undesired objects. One or more classes ZA of undesired objects, and beyond this, as an additional class, a rejection class R is defined, to which all signals are assigned which are not clearly assignable to one of classes Zk or ZA. Herein the decision criteria under which a signal S is assigned to the reject class R is the comparison of the output value Preject with the adjustable threshold value t, which is provided by a classification algorithm.

  • Patent number: 6469616
    Abstract: The anti-theft system is placed in the initialization state by activating a key in the ignition lock in a predescribed manner that is unusual relative to the day to day operation. A bidirectional dialog then takes place with the key via an immobilizer system. If the dialog is recognized as authorized, a start value is transmitted, on the one hand from the immobilizer to the key and on the other hand from the key to the receiver of the lock system. The start value is used in the key to generate a rolling code, and is used in the receiver to generate a reference code to be compared with it.
