Polymerizable dental materials are provided containing at least one polymerizable monomer and/or polymer and a finely divided inorganic filler, said filler being present in an amount of about 10 to 90% based on the weight of the material and having a particle size within the range of 10 to 400 m.mu., said material when polymerized having an extremely high compressive strength, excellent transparency and a very smooth homogeneous surface.

An elongated tubular barrel is provided having front and rear end portions. The rear end portion of the barrel is externally threaded and removably threadedly engaged in a forwardly opening threaded counterbore formed in an elongated breech body having a bore formed longitudinally therethrough with its forward end opening into the aforementioned counterbore. A firing pin is longitudinally received and reciprocal in the bore formed through the breech body and the rear end of the breech body inclu...

The invention relates to the use of a non-woven fabric which is over-stitched by means of stitching threads as a supporting material for medical purposes. The invention is characterized in that the maximum tensile force of supporting material is equal to at least 30 N/cm and at least one side of the supporting material is partially or completely coated with a self-adhesive mass.

Suction tube for surgical purposes, especially for draining of body compartments in connection to an organ, which suction tube comprise an inner tube, whose distal end is open and a outer tube, provided with a peripherally arranged holes, wherein the outer tube exhibits a cross section having at least one essentially flat side, being faced against the organ during draining.

The glass container stores and preserves pharmaceutical or diagnostic solutions for medicinal purposes. So that the container is free of silicones and other residues, it is provided with an amorphous, transparent anti-adherent coating (4) over its entire interior surface from its bottom over the wall (3) to the closure device (2). This anti-adherent coating (4) is free of heavy metals, free of silicones, is stable after autoclaving at about 120.degree. C. for about 20 min or hot air sterilizatio...

A precision resistor for use in electrical circuits arranged on printed circuit boards is produced from a band of thermally conductive alloy. The band is selectively surface treated with a conductive coating to improve solderability in the region of the resistor where it is connected to conductors of the circuit board.

The invention relates to a vessel for metallurgical purposes intended for transporting molten metals. The tank has a metal jacket provided with a heat-proof lining. Two lifting lugs are disposed on the outer side opposite one another, each of which is supported by a lug shield connected to the metal jacket. The lug shield is disposed so as to limit movement in vertical and peripheral direction. Alternatively, the vessel can be made of sections of pipe, with the lug shield connected to a reinforc...

A clock for educational purposes comprising a minute hand and an hour hand, both rotatably mounted at the center of the clockface, openings formed in the clockface at locations where the hours and minutes are indicated, and rotating members rotatably supported in the clock and each marked on its face with an hour indicating figure and a minute indicating figure. The surface of each rotating member is partially exposed through respective ones of the openings, and an arm is provided to rotate with...

Essentially inelastic backing material for medical purposes, characterized in that the backing material has an addition of high-strength fibers, multi-strand yarns, mixed multistrands or filaments having an ultimate tensile stress strength of at least 60 cN/tex, preferably from 80 to 500 cN/tex, the high-strength fibers, multi-strand yarns, mixed multistrands or filaments having a water absorption of less than 10%, preferably less than 5% and, with particular preference, less than 3% and the hig...
