Abstract:
A system for making a dental restoration, comprising a 3D digitizer for producing a 3D model digital representation of a dental restoration model, a computer in communication with the 3D digitizer and capable of creating a dental restoration milling trajectory for a selected block of given dimension and given dental restoration material, based on the 3D model, and a laser milling apparatus in communication with the computer and capable of laser milling the dental restoration from the selected block positioned therein using the milling trajectory created by the computer. The laser milling apparatus includes one or more sensor for continuously monitoring the laser milling of the selected block and to provide feedback to the computer such that the milling trajectory is continuously adjusted by the computer using the feedback from the one or more sensor.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for servicing and/or monitoring a field device (1) of process and automation technology. The invention includes that at least one photograph is taken of at least one section (2) of the field device (1), that the photograph is evaluated and/or processed in such a manner, that there results at least one piece of information concerning an access location (11) for field device data related to the field device (1), and/or information for identification of the field device (1), that a request for data is made to the access location (11), and that, in response to the request for data, field device data are supplied. Furthermore, the invention concerns a corresponding field device.

Abstract:
A method for producing an item data set representing the three-dimensional configuration of an item includes accepting a first input data set, the first input data set including first data representing at least a first three-dimensional configuration of a first three-dimensional object; accepting a second input data set, the second input data set including second data representing at least a second three-dimensional configuration of a second three-dimensional object; adapting one or both of the first data input set and the second data input set to be combined to obtain an item data set representing a three-dimensional configuration of the item; and combining the first input data set and the second input data set to obtain the item data set. Other methods and systems for producing item data sets and items.
Abstract:
An apparatus for modifying the attitude of a golf ball having burrs formed thereon, the apparatus having a second station in which a CCD camera takes image data of the golf ball while rotating, one time, the golf ball around the X-axis by a step motor, and the rotational angle around the X-axis and that around the Z-axis, with which the equator having burrs formed thereon are required to be horizontal, are calculated in accordance with the image data; fourth and fifth stations in which step motors rotate the golf ball around the X-axis and Z-axis by the foregoing angles to-modify the attitude of the golf ball; and a sixth station in which a CCD camera takes image data of the golf ball to finely modify the attitude of the golf ball by step motors.
