  • Patent number: 7926823
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for damping vibrations on chassis bearings of motor vehicles, and a device for implementing the process. A process and a device are to be presented with which outstanding vibration damping and vibration isolation and noise insulation can be achieved over a wide frequency range with consideration of the driving states and roadway conditions which occur in motor vehicles. For this purpose it is proposed that the driving state of the motor vehicle and/or the roadway conditions are detected by way of sensors and that the at least one chassis bearing is modified to different characteristics to change its stiffness and/or damping depending on the detected parameters.

  • Patent number: 5220751
    Abstract: A processing or machining installation, especially for dental purposes, with two combined different processing apparatuses. The installation possesses a common control and suctioning arrangement, and also incorporates a control circuit for the currently activated processing or treating apparatus, through the intermediary of which there is always compulsorily actuated the suctioning device in conjunction therewith.

  • Patent number: 5197835
    Abstract: Work-bench for machining dental elements, fitted with a safety device. The invention relates to a work-bench for machining dental elements such as denture models or the like comprising a housing, a driving motor located in the housing, a milling cutter that projects above the housing and is driven by the motor, and a bearing member for the dental element to be machined that is arranged above the milling cutter and is movable relative thereto, wherein, to provide a simple form of workpiece bearing member and safety device, together with easy changing of the milling cutter and simple dust removal, said support can pivot about a vertical axis above said milling cutter and can also be swung away from said milling cutter about a horizontal axis.
