  • Patent number: 11955021
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method and system (10) for classifying vehicle behaviour, particularly abnormal behaviour of civil aircraft (12). The method may comprise receiving aircraft data from an aircraft (12) which is to be classified; and determining whether the received aircraft data comprises identification information for the aircraft (12). In response to a determination that the received aircraft data comprises identification information, the method may comprise using said identification information to classify the behaviour of the aircraft (12). In response to a determination that the received aircraft data does not comprises identification information, the method may comprise obtaining the position of the aircraft and comparing the obtained position to an expected route for the aircraft to classify the behaviour of the aircraft (12).

  • Publication number: 20240108555
    Abstract: The present invention relates to free-radical-polymerizable compositions and to the use thereof in stereolithography and/or 3D printing, especially for the 3D printing of dental shaped components, such as dental transfer splints, IBTs, transfer keys and drilling templates. The free-radical-polymerizable compositions have the characteristic feature that, after polymerization, they exhibit practically no adhesion to other (meth)acrylic systems.

  • Patent number: 11351407
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optimized foam former (1) for foaming a foam-water concentrate, which foam former consists of a curved grate having diamond-shaped openings (13) and sharp edges (12). The structure of the foam former increases the foam formation and ensures uniform distribution of the foam over a large area. Existing water sprinklers having a nozzle (3) and a spray disk (2) can be provided with the foam former (1) and thus converted into foam sprinklers in a simple manner. The foam former (1) is arranged in such a way that the foam former (1) protrudes beyond the spray disk (2) toward the nozzle (3).
