  • Patent number: 4478579
    Abstract: The invention concerns a snugly fitting denture such as bridges and the like, consisting of a metallic foundation and of a ceramic facing shell as well as a process to its manufacture. It is the object of this invention to develop a compact system for a snugly fitting denture with high firmness and mechanical loading capacity as well as with prolonged durability under the conditions prevailing in the oral cavity. This is achieved by the fact that the metallic foundation consists of a base metal alloy with a silane-content of .ltoreq.0.5% and that the ceramic facing shell is provided with a silicon-coupled adhesive plastic part. The metal base is silanized in an ultrasound bath, highly fluid prosthesis plastic is applied to its labial aspect and the facing shell is pressed-on. Thus a solid chemical bonding develops between foundation and facing shell. This compact system is without slits and does not offer any possibilities of aggression to harmful influences existing in the milieu of the oral cavity.

  • Patent number: 4442411
    Abstract: Circuit for the load-proportional adjustment of the driving current of a single-ended output transistor of a transistor amplifier for a variable load of the output transistor, the output transistor having a base-emitter voltage and being operated in a common emitter circuit, having a control branch feeding the driving current to the output transistor, including a sensing transistor stage having an output circuit and being driven by the base-emitter voltage of the output transistor, a transistor serving as a driver transistor for the output transistor and being controlled by the control branch, and a coupling circuit through which current in the output circuit of the sensing transistor is feedable to the transistor serving as a driver transistor.
