    Abstract: A dental appliance for positioning a patient's teeth includes a removable orthodontic tooth positioning appliance having teeth receiving cavities shaped to directly receive at least some of the patient's teeth and apply a resilient positioning force to the patient's teeth. The appliance includes a hard polymer layer having a hard polymer layer elastic modulus disposed between a first soft polymer layer having a first soft polymer layer elastic modulus and a second soft polymer layer having a second soft polymer layer elastic modulus. The hard polymer layer elastic modulus is greater than each of the first soft polymer layer elastic modulus and the second soft polymer layer elastic modulus. At least one of the first soft polymer layer and the second soft polymer layer has a flexural modulus of greater than about 35,000 psi.

  • Patent number: 12104045
    Abstract: The invention relates to opaque colored multilayer articles having a substrate layer based on polycarbonate or polymethylmethacrylate. The compositions of the substrate layer contain a titanium dioxide having particular properties as white pigment. Compared to the Kronos® 2230 white pigment which is conventionally used as white pigment for corresponding compositions and has more particularly been specially matched to polycarbonate, it is possible to achieve considerably higher weathering stability of the colored shaped bodies provided that a UV absorber-containing coating has been applied to the substrate layer. Color stability and gloss are maintained even after weathering, and brilliant colors can thus be assured.

  • Publication number: 20240301969
    Abstract: A line guide apparatus for guiding lines, such as cables, hoses or the like, in particular on an industrial robot. The line guide apparatus comprises links which are connected in articulated manner by a three-dimensionally deflectable articulated connection. Provision is made for the line guide apparatus to have a variable-length portion, which comprises a number of links which are connected together so as to be longitudinally adjustable relative to one another, wherein an elastically longitudinally expandable return element exerts a return force on the variable-length portion, which counteracts elongation of the variable-length portion. The links are in particular connected or couplable in such a way that longitudinal adjustment of two links relative to one another brings about relative rotation thereof.

  • Patent number: 12020581
    Abstract: A method for operating an at least temporarily unmanned aircraft, wherein a flight is performed according to a prior flight plan in an airspace controlled by a control instance. A flight direction is determined during the flight via a control device influenced via a data connection by a control instance. The data connection is temporarily unavailable, and a hazardous or emergency situation requiring deviation from the flight plan, is identified by the control device based on first sensor data. An avoidance route is determined by the control device based on a second sensor data, the avoidance route including a avoidance manoeuvre avoiding the hazardous or emergency situation, the avoidance route is used in the meantime to fly towards a destination area with the least possible volume of air traffic; and the necessary avoidance manoeuvre(s) are performed based on the second data by the control device in an autonomous staggering procedure.

  • Patent number: 11945346
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seat crash securing device (1) used for a vehicle seat of a motorized vehicle. The vehicle seat crash securing device (1) comprises a locking device for locking a height of a seat cushion frame. An actuator (3) is actuated in the case of a crash for tightening a belt rope (5). A blocking element in a blocking position holds a locking element of the locking device in an unlocked position. In a releasing position, the blocking element releases the locking element. The locking element is biased by a spring element into the locked position. The blocking element can be moved by a friction force generated by the actuator (3) from the blocking position into the releasing position. Preferably, the friction force is generated by a follower (8) (e.g. a friction wheel (9)), the follower (8) being pressed against the belt rope (5). The movement of the follower (8) is coupled to the movement of the blocking element.

  • Patent number: 11698392
    Abstract: A Rogowski coil is used for determining the magnitude of the electrical current of a conductor of a low-voltage AC circuit, which outputs an analogue voltage which is equivalent to the magnitude of the electrical current of the conductor. The Rogowski coil is connected to an analogue integrator, which is followed by an analogue-digital converter, which converts the integrated analogue voltage into a digital signal which is further processed by a microprocessor in such a way that the phase shift generated by the Rogowski coil and the components connected downstream of the Rogowski coil is compensated such that there are in-phase current values for the detection of error situations in order to protect the low-voltage AC circuit, in particular for a low-voltage power switch or an arc fault detection unit.

  • Patent number: 11556531
    Abstract: Crux detection in search definition sets is provided herein. Crux detection can include generating a hierarchical representation of a search definition set. The hierarchical representation can be reduced by removing search definitions unrelated to a target search definition. The search definitions in the reduced hierarchical representation can be focused by removing inapplicable elements or operations in the search definitions. Focusing the search definitions in the reduced hierarchical representation can include removing context-irrelevant elements and/or removing search-definition-irrelevant elements. The focused reduced hierarchical representation can be analyzed to identify implementation cruxes in the search definitions. Cruxes can include performance-impacting elements of the search definitions. The cruxes can be tagged and provided for redevelopment or analysis.
