  • Patent number: 5064877
    Abstract: A process is described for fixing an inorganic species in an organic matr which comprises bringing a compound of the formula MR.sub.n in which M is selected from sub-group metals, lanthanides, actinides, Al, Sn, B and Si, and the radicals R can be replaced by a complexing agent, into contact with a complexing agent, the complexing agent containing a functional group which is capable of participating in a polymerization or polycondensation reaction. After complexing, hydrolysis and condensation are preferably first carried out, followed by polymerization or polycondensation.

  • Patent number: 4941993
    Abstract: A process is described for the production of condensation products which be converted into glass, in which at least one silicon compound which can be hydrolyzed to form SiO.sub.2, at least one compound which can be hydrolyzed to form Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, B.sub.2 O.sub.3 or TiO.sub.2 and at least one hydrolyzable alkali metal compound or alkaline earth metal compound is brought into contact with at least the stoichiometrically necessary amount of water. The hydrolysis is carried out according to the invention in the presence of a complexing agent selected from the group consisting of .beta.-carbonyl carboxylic esters and C.sub.2 to C.sub.5 carboxylic acids and their carboxylate ions, which prevents precipitates of hydrolysis products of the very reactive aluminum and boron compounds forming while the less reactive silicon compounds remain unchanged or are only partially hydrolyzed.

  • Patent number: 4934766
    Abstract: An equipment stand, in particular for dental implements, which consists of a carrier possessing holders for the dental implements or instruments. A stand which extends in a vertical direction, concurrently forms the carrier possessing the implement holders, so as to thereby eliminate a separate component as a carrier in the form of a cross-bar, and consequently avoids a complex construction. Furthermore, through a superimposed arrangement of the implement holders there is afforded a good overview of the implements which are located in the holders.

  • Patent number: 4607413
    Abstract: A work position or station including a suctioning device incorporating a suctioning opening for the aspiration of suctionable material which is produced during the processing of workpieces, and a protective plate which guides the suctionable material into the suctioning opening. The protective plate concurrently screens the working personnel carrying out the processing, in particular the head of the person, against the incident suctionable material. The protective plate which is carried by a special mounting support can be moved upwardly prior to the implementing of work without the formation of suctionable material, upwardly away from the suctioning opening in a simple manner into a non-hindering inoperative position.
