Abstract: The invention provides for a dental or surgical handpiece with an elongated handle sleeve (110) and a head piece (50) attached to the front end of the handle sleeve (110) that serves to to detachably receive a dental tool as well as for a clamping mechanism (20) formed in the head piece (50) to detachably hold the tool, the clamping mechanism (20) having a push-button (10) for actuating the clamping mechanism (20). The handpiece further has an RFID transponder (5) for identifying the handpiece. The push-button (10) consists of a heat-insulating electrically non-conductive plastic or m ceramic material with a plate-shaped recess that holds the RFID transponder (5). The push-button (10) has a flat round shape so that the RFID transponder (5), because of the equally flat round shape of its coil, can be integrated very well into it. Particularly advantageous ambient electrical conditions can be achieved for the RFID transponder as the push-button (10) is made of an electrically non-conductive material.

Abstract: The present invention provides a reaction mixture comprising a blend of a first isocyanate-based uretdione-containing resin and a second isocyanate-based uretdione-containing resin, a neutralized polyol and a tertiary amine catalyst, and optionally, an additive package selected from the group consisting of flow control additives, pigments (colorants), wetting agents, and solvents, wherein the first isocyanate and the second isocyanate are different. The first isocyanate-based uretdione-containing resin and the second isocyanate-based uretdione-containing resin may be cold blended or hot blended. Coatings, adhesives, castings, composites, and sealants made from hot blended formulations exhibit superior performance over those made from cold blended formulations.

Abstract: The present invention provides a reaction mixture comprising a hot blend of a first isocyanate-based uretdione resin and a second isocyanate-based uretdione resin, a neutralized polyol and a tertiary amine catalyst, and optionally, an additive package selected from the group consisting of flow control additives, pigments (colorants), wetting agents, and solvents, wherein the first isocyanate and the second isocyanate are different. The isocyanate-based uretdiones that have been hot blended together produce coatings, adhesives, castings, composites, and sealants, which exhibit better performance properties (such as microhardness) than those coatings, adhesives, castings, composites, and sealants produced from the constituent isocyanate-based uretdiones alone.

Abstract: An electric-motor arrangement for a medical, in particular dental, handpiece that has a motor housing and a rotor which is arranged in the motor housing so that it can be rotated about an axis via a first bearing and a second bearing. A stator is arranged around the rotor in relation to the axis. The first bearing is received in a first bearing flange, and the second bearing is received in a second bearing flange. Both bearing flanges are composed of metal and adjoin the motor housing directly by way of their circumferential faces. As a result, running noise and vibrations can be reduced. Moreover, premature wear and/or failure can be prevented.
