Abstract: A method for manufacturing a dental implant apparatus that comprises an implant and an implant support that can be placed next to one another by contact surfaces and that have contours providing security against rotation that are integrally molded on in one piece. The implant and an implant support have mutually matching contours that prevent a rotation of the implant and the implant support when placed next to one another. A tool system for carrying out the described methods and a dental implant apparatus that is manufactured in a corresponding manner are further disclosed. A contact surface of the implant is ground using a first grinding gauge that has a grinding surface having the shape of the contact surface of the implant attachment but not having the shape of the contour providing security against rotation of the implant.

Abstract: Disclosed is a preferably tubular food casing based on cellulose hydrate, one or both sides of which is/are provided with a coating containing crosslinked collagen fibrils and an also crosslinked, high-molecular gelatin. Preferably, low-molecular organic compounds comprising two or more reactive groups are used as crosslinking agents. The inventive food casing has characteristics resembling those of a skin fiber casing and is thus particularly suitable for producing raw sausages. The disclosed casing is virtually resistant against cellulytically active enzymes of mold-ripened raw sausages as a result of the coating used.

Abstract: The invention relates to a viscose and resin-bound non-woven fabric based on cellulose fibres, which is cross-linked to a urea methoylol having a low-molecular weight and which does not react with itself, which has, preferably, a cyclic structure. The urea methylol is preferably, dimethylol-ethylene-urea, substituted, optionally, in 4- and/or 5-positions, more preferably, dimethylol-dihydroxy-ethylene-urea, a 1,3-bis-hydroxymethyl-5-(C1-C6)alkyl-tetrahydro-1H-[1,3,5]triazine-2-one, preferably, dimethylol-ethyl-triazinone, dimethylol-propylene urea, dimethylol-hydroxy-propylene urea or tetramethylol-acetylene urea.

Abstract: A blade guide for supporting a reciprocating sickle blade in an agricultural mower. The blade guide includes a unitary, integrally formed structure formed of a resilient, molded thermoplastic material. To avoid wear, metallic wear plates are provided where the reciprocating sickle blade contacts the blade guide. The side edges of the wear plates cooperate with the reciprocating sickle blades to provide a cutting action as the sickle blades reciprocate. In one embodiment, the side edges of the wear plate are beveled to improve the cutting action. Preferably, the wear plates are molded in place during manufacture.

Abstract: A system for distributing wax or a similar substance in semi-solid form is provided which includes a liquid wax supply system, a wax conditioning system including a heat exchanger which cools the wax to a semi-solid state and an accumulator for storing conditioned wax until needed, and a die press or similar work station which receives semi-solid wax from the accumulator in a continuous stream or flow. Such a system allows a lost wax die press to operate without need to manually open and reload the press with wax. An automated control system according to the invention allows die press reloading to occur automatically when needed, and operates the wax conditioning system as needed to maintain a supply of wax in the accumulator. Wax tunneling problems are avoided by means of a piston disposed in the heat exchanger which is movably interposed between hot liquid wax entering the heat exchanger and cooler, semi-solid wax leaving the heat exchanger.
