Each male retention member includes a ball portion pivotally movable when coupled to a respective female retention structure and a mounting portion configured to mount to a patient's tooth. In use, respective male retention members may be coupled to respective female retention structures and to a selected dentition of the patient.

Abstract: The invention concerns a rolling element cage (32) made of a metal strip material that is profiled, stamped, cut to length, and bent into a round shape, wherein the ends of the cut-to-length strip sections are joined together by welding. In order to make it possible to influence the lubricant distribution in the bearing and the vibration characteristics of the cage and thus of the overall bearing system, according to the invention the strip section ends (34, 36) are joined together with a predetermined axial offset (a) and/or radial offset (b).

Abstract: The invention concerns a rolling bearing with a rolling bearing cage (1) having a plurality of rolling element pockets (2) arranged in at least one row to receive at least one row of rolling elements, wherein the rolling bearing cage (1) consists of two lateral rings (3) and a plurality of crosspieces (4) connecting them, between which crosspieces are formed the rolling element pockets (2), and having at least one empty pocket (5). In order to achieve cost-effective manufacture of the rolling bearing cage (1) with the fewest possible changes as compared to a rolling bearing cage fully populated with rolling elements, provision is made according to the invention that the rolling bearing cage (1) is equipped with fewer rolling elements in one row than corresponds to the number of rolling element pockets (2), causing the rolling bearing cage (1) to have empty pockets (5) without rolling elements in the at least one row of rolling element pockets (2).

Abstract: This invention relates to methods for correlating at least one media path and a signaling session of a packet-switched network and to an implementation of these methods in hardware and software. To overcoming one or more of the limitations and challenges on the correlation of signaling plane and media plane of services, the invention defines a key, which can be used for correlation of media streams and signaling sessions. The invention is based on a signaling probe identifying new services and associated media paths of the media plane by detecting their corresponding signaling sessions and determining for each service a signaling session identifier. The signaling probe registers the signaling sessions and their media paths at a correlation unit using the signaling session identifiers as a key, which allows a media probe to query the correlation unit for respective signaling session identifiers that correspond to media paths detected in the media plane traffic.

Abstract: The invention relates to the technical field of nanoparticles. The subject matter of the invention is a method for treating nanoparticles for the reduction of ligand spheres.
