  • Patent number: 11426244
    Abstract: A medical or dental system with at least one first transmitting and/or receiving unit and at least one second transmitting and/or receiving unit, wherein the at least two transmitting and/or receiving units are designed for the capacitive coupling of electric signals into and/or out of a human body, so that an electric path which extends through the human body of the user and/or of the person to be treated can be established for the transmission of electric signals between the at least one first transmitting and/or receiving unit and the at least one second transmitting and/or receiving unit, in order to transmit data between the at least two transmitting and/or receiving units.

  • Patent number: 9377775
    Abstract: A method and device for programming a cordless handpiece used for root canal treatment and having a first memory and a tool holder for a treatment tool are described. The method includes providing a first data volume having a plurality of data sets in a second memory separate from the first memory, each of the data sets comprising at least one parameter assigned to the cordless handpiece and/or to the treatment tool, selecting at least some of the data sets from the first data volume in the second memory, transmitting the selected data sets from the second memory to the first memory of the handpiece, and selecting a data set from the updated first memory for operation of the handpiece.

  • Patent number: 7535135
    Abstract: A brushless electric motor which has a rotor magnet, a coil apparatus for electromagnetically driving the rotor magnet, a rotor shaft for transmitting a rotary movement, which is firmly connected to the rotor magnet and runs through a rotation axis of the rotor magnet, and at least one electromagnetic transducer element for detection of the magnetic field of the rotor magnet, in which the at least one electromagnetic transducer element is arranged outside the axial extent of the rotor magnet with respect to the rotation axis, and is arranged essentially within the maximum radial extent of the rotor magnet. The invention also relates to an instrument for a medical, in particular a dental, apparatus having a brushless electric motor such as this.
