| 20110312284 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURELY TRANSFERRING A MESSAGE - In a method and system for securely transferring a message (N) from a transmitter unit (SE) to a receiver unit (EE), a message sent by a transmitter unit (SE) is thereby transmitted to a receiving antenna array (EAA) comprising a plurality of receiving nodes (EK). The receiving nodes (EK) of the receiving antenna array (EAA) each verify the received message as originating from an authorized transmitter unit (SE) before the verified message is forwarded by each receiving node (EK) to the receiving unit (EE). The method and system effectively protects the message transmission from the introduction of undesired data by an attacker, and by an attack wherein the lifespan or operating time of the partially battery-powered nodes is reduced by increased current consumption. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20110158410 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING DATA BETWEEN NETWORK NODES - A method transmits data between network nodes of a network in a cryptographically protected manner. The network nodes are, for example, sensor nodes of a wireless sensor network. In the method, in order to transmit the data in a message, a NONCE value is created from a count value which is updated in the transmission of the message and from a constant value which is provided in a shared manner to the network nodes of the network. The data transmitted in the message is then encrypted and decrypted within the network nodes by a cryptographic key and the created NONCE value. The method offers in particular protection against replay attacks while at the same time minimizing the use of resources of the network nodes. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20100330528 | Dental Tool Displacement Apparatus and Method with Slow Rotational Motion - A dental tool displacement apparatus for use with a motorized power handle to displace a dental tool includes a tool holder having a receptacle for receiving the dental tool, and a drive arrangement. The drive arrangement defines a transmission from the motorized power handle to the tool holder such that the tool holder undergoes reciprocating motion parallel to the tool axis at a first frequency of oscillations per minute and rotates about the tool axis at a second frequency of rotations per minute. In some cases, the two types of motion are generated by an eccentric drive pin engaging an annular slot which has gear teeth along one side, thereby generating an angular rotation step of the tool holder during each reciprocating stroke. In some cases, the first frequency is at least one order of magnitude greater than the second frequency. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20090176189 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EXTRACTION OF BROKEN OBJECTS FROM ENCLOSED SPACES - The present invention is an extraction system capable of easily removing an object having a hollow interior from an enclosed space. The system comprises an overtube that is at least partially insertable into the enclosed space, and a wire comprising an elongated portion, a handle and an insertion end comprising one or more catching members. The catching member is in a straight configuration when the insertion end is confined within the overtube and assumes an open configuration when the insertion end is situated out of the overtube. Initially, the wire is introduced into the enclosed space within the overtube and the wire is pushed out of the overtube such that the catching members will enter the hollow interior of the object. The use of the extraction system is illustrated for the case of extracting a piece of an endodontic file broken during a root canal procedure. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100028830 | Dental Irrigator - The invention is a dental irrigator for delivering irrigant solution from an irrigation solution reservoir to the site of a dental procedure. The irrigator comprises: a hollow dental tool modified by the addition of one or more curved blades either formed directly on the neck of the tool or on a sleeve attached coaxially to the neck, one or more inlets associated with each of the curved blades, a housing that provides a watertight volume surrounding the inlets while allowing the tool to be freely moved with respect to the housing, and a supply hose, which conducts the irrigant solution at relatively low pressure from the reservoir to the housing. When the dental tool is attached to the distal end of a dental hand-piece and the hand-piece is activated causing the tool to move, irrigation solution enters the hollow interior of the neck of the tool and, as a result of the forces created by the motion of the curved blades, is delivered at relatively high pressure to the site. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20110168517 | Locking and securing device for a working area of a machine - A locking device for flaps or doors that are pivotable in or on a frame or housing. The invention in particular includes a door or flap lock that serves as a protection against collisions of objects and/or persons with moving or rotating machine parts, with the possibility of unlocking said door or flap lock by manual operation. The locking device includes a movable bolt disposed on the pivotable flap or door with said bolt being manually operable via a lever, handle, or knob and interlocking with a receiving opening for the bolt that is disposed on the frame. The bolt includes several engagement elements for interlocking with a housing- or frame-anchored receiving element, with said engagement elements arranged along the direction of the bolt's longitudinal axis, which approximately corresponds to the direction of movement of the bolt on opening or closing the pivotable flap or door. The interlocking engagement and receiving elements make it necessary at least on opening the flap or door to repeatedly operate the lever, handle, or knob in at least two opposite directions of movement, pivot, or turning, thus delaying any opening movement, leaving enough time for another, previously already initiated or actuated safety device to put a stop on rotating and/or moving parts of the machine. In addition, the invention relates to a securing device for a working area of a machine having movable and/or rotating parts. | 07-14-2011 |
