Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for low-pressure casting of refractory metals, with a furnace chamber with one or a plurality of gas supply openings (6) and gas outlet openings (7), and a riser pipe (8) through a cover (5) of the furnace chamber, a melting container (3, 12) for the refractory metals arranged in the furnace chamber, and a heating device for heating the refractory metals in the melting container (3, 12). In the proposed arrangement, the melting container (3, 12) is formed as an exchangeable insert for a receiving mould (2) supporting the melting container (3, 12), which is arranged in the furnace chamber, wherein a thermally insulating layer (4, 17) is formed between the receiving mould (2) and the melting container (3, 12), or is integrated into the melting container (3, 12). With the proposed arrangement, a quick and easy exchange of the melting container for different alloys can also be carried out in the low-pressure casting of refractory metals.

Abstract: A separation device has a conveying channel configuration and a transport belt configuration. A conveying material can be conveyed via the conveying channel configuration on the transport belt configuration, the conveying channel configuration has differently inclined regions, and a speed cascade of the conveyed material stream can be achieved by the differently inclined regions. The separation of the conveyed material stream is improved in that the conveying channel configuration has at least one wedge groove.

Abstract: A set of elements is described for use in the production of a dental prosthesis (20), in particular of a crown, a bridge, an inlay or an onlay, comprising: a framework (3) and one or more model parts (5) for defining parts of the outer contour of a veneer (15) for the framework (3), wherein the model part or parts (5) can be mounted on the framework (3) in such a way that, at one and the same time, (i) a gap (7) remains between the model part or parts (5) and the framework (3) and (ii) the model part or parts (5) define parts [lacuna] the outer contour. Corresponding methods and systems are also described.

Abstract: A rear axle of a two-track motor vehicle is provided. The vehicle may have an independent wheel suspension with lower rods, which guide a wheel carrier, and an upper guide device, which engages with an extension arm of the wheel carrier. The extension arm guides in a region above a wheel mounted on the wheel carrier. The upper guide device is formed by a physical guiding path comprising a guide element, which can be displaced along said guiding path.

Abstract: A method is described for producing a metallic component, comprising the following steps: provision of a negative model for the component, which (i) is electrically: conductive or is rendered electrically conductive at least on the surface thereof or (ii) is porous and comprises an electrode inside, provision of a slip which comprises electrophoretically depositable metallic and optionally additionally ceramic particles, electrophoretic deposition of a layer of the particles from the slip onto the surface of the model, sintering or partial sintering of the deposited layer of particles.
