  • Publication number: 20250169930
    Abstract: The invention relates to a milling body for producing a dental molding, the milling body comprising a solid body made of a biocompatible first material, a cavity for receiving a fluid polymerizable plastics material being arranged on an upper side of the milling body, the cavity having a bottom and, starting from the edge of the bottom, the cavity being laterally delimited by a circumferential wall, the circumferential wall being annular, and the first material forming the bottom and the solid body extending as far as a lower side of the milling body, which lower side is arranged to be opposite the upper side of the milling body. The invention also relates to a method for producing dental prostheses using such a milling body, to a set, and to a dental molding produced using such a method.

  • Publication number: 20240245496
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing dental prostheses, having the steps of: A) producing a prosthetic base with at least one receptacle and one protruding pin or providing such a prosthetic base; B) producing or basally machining at least one dental molding with a basal cavity for receiving the pin and a lateral opening in the circumferential surface, such that the basal cavity is accessible via the lateral opening; C) subsequently applying an adhesive into the basal cavity and/or into the at least one receptacle; D) subsequently inserting the at least one dental molding into the at least one receptacle of the prosthetic base, such that the protruding pin is arranged inside the basal cavity; E) subsequently pushing the at least one dental molding into the at least one receptacle, and excess adhesive exiting through the lateral opening in the circumferential surface, wherein the lateral opening protrudes at least in places in the coronal direction beyond an adjoining gingival margin of the pros

  • Patent number: 11637445
    Abstract: A method for operating an electric island power network having a renewable energy generation plant, a conventional energy generation plant, an energy store, and an energy consumer, includes: defining first operating parameters for the network for when a frequency and/or voltage of the network is outside defined limits; operating the network using the first operating parameters causing the frequency and voltage of the network to both be within the defined limits; defining second operating parameters for the network after the expiration of a defined time span over which the frequency and voltage have remained within the defined limits, the second operating parameters being defined such that operating the network using the second operating parameters causes the network to operate cost-optimally. If verified that the second operating parameters ensure that the frequency and voltage remain within the defined limits, operation using the second operating parameters is maintained. Otherwise, it is discontinued.

  • Patent number: 4914691
    Abstract: One of a pack of flexible cards is removed from a container and placed in a recess in a telephone set. The cards serve as small, portable directories for a plurality of subscriber numbers. Four repertory buttons take the form of a touch-sensitive keypad and are disposed in the bottom of the recess under the respective inscription areas of the card. An electronic telephone number memory is built into the telephone set together with a microprocessor and a line and dialing unit. The cards further include either a combination of notches as a four-bit card identification or an optical three-bit identification. The notches are detected by electromechanical feelers in the recess and, together with the repertory buttons, determine the storage addresses of the telephone numbers. In the case of optical identification, each card comprises an inscription carrier and, adhering thereto, a transparent cover film which can be removed and replaced a number of times.
