  • Publication number: 20230036932
    Abstract: The invention concerns sensors (1) for detection of gas, in particular sensors for detection of transcutaneous gas such as CO2, and methods for manufacturing a sensor (1). The sensor (1) comprises at least one radiation source (3) for emitting radiation, at least one detector (4) for detection of radiation emitted by the radiation source (3), and at least one measurement chamber (6) for receiving the sample gas. The radiation source (3), the detector (4), and the measurement chamber (6) are arranged such that at least a part of the radiation propagates along a path passing through the measurement chamber (6). The sensor (1) further comprises a casing (7), wherein the radiation source (3), the detector (4), the measurement chamber (6) are arranged. The sensor (1) has a contact face (8) which is directable towards a measuring site and the sensor (1) has at least one gas-access channel (9) enabling gas to migrate from the contact face (8) into the measurement chamber (6).

  • Patent number: 10953504
    Abstract: The invention relates to a blank holder for a dental milling machine. The blank holder has a clamping frame with a receptacle for a blank. The clamping frame includes a first frame part and a second frame part which are pivotable relative to one another to open the receptacle. A first clamping face is formed on the first frame part and a second clamping face is formed on the second frame part. The clamping faces engage an outer periphery of the blank with the clamping frame closed. To configure a blank holder so that the blank is fixed in the clamping frame in a play-free manner, provision is made to form one of the clamping faces on an annular clamping ring. The clamping ring is held on a frame part and is displaceable counter to a force in the axial direction.
