Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de contenant (110) et distributeur de poudre, doté d'un embout (114) de distribution, du type comprenant un ou plusieurs orifices de petite taille à travers lesquels la poudre est éjectée. Cet embout (114) est placé dans la paroi d'un contenant (110) qui est partiellement rempli de poudre lorsqu'il est utilisé, la poudre étant distribuée sous l'effet d'une compression du contenant (110) qui provoque la mise sous pression de son contenu. Un réservoir de poudre intermédiaire, formé à l'intérieur du conteneur (110), reçoit une partie de la poudre se trouvant dans le conteneur (110) lors de l'utilisation de ce dernier. Lorsqu'on comprime le conteneur, la poudre se trouvant dans ou sur ce réservoir intermédiaire est entraînée dans le flux d'air passant à travers le ou les orifices de l'embout, et évacué avec ce dernier. En général, seule la poudre se trouvant dans ou sur le réservoir intermédiaire est évacuée par l'embout (114) lors de chaque opération d'éjection. La compression du contenant provoque non seulement la sortie de la poudre contenue dans le réservoir intermédiaire par l'embout, mais entraîne également le remplacement de la poudre éjectée le réservoir intermédiaire par une nouvelle quantité de poudre contenue dans le contenant. Une solution de rechange ou additionnelle pour remplir le réservoir intermédiaire consiste à comprimer, incliner, renverser, ou incliner et comprimer brièvement le contenant. Le réservoir intermédiaire est ainsi rempli pendant ou après chaque distribution, et prêt à éjecter la poudre à la prochaine compression. L'embout est installé à l'extrémité d'un col formé dans le contenant, et le réservoir intermédiaire peut comprendre une plaque perforée, ou un filtre installé dans le col du contenant, juste au dessous de l'embout, mais espacé de ce dernier.

Abstract: The coating of dental substrates, such as the stumps of a working model or implants including ceramics, e.g. alumina, by means of electrophoresis results, especially because of the production of gas, in products unfit for use. It is therefore the aim of the invention to provide a coating method that allows for a high-quality coating of dental substrates in the shortest time possible, irrespective of the material constitution of the substrate. According to the inventive method, the substrate (stump 2 ) is fixated in an insulating mass ( 3 ) in a vertical holder ( 1 ). The substrate is coated with a separating agent and a hygroscopic layer and a further layer is applied thereon by shortly dipping the stump into the slip ( 6 ). The current used for electrophoresis is supplied via the layer ( 7 ) so formed. The inventive method, when used for non-conducting substrates, requires no silver enamel or the like. The method can also be used for conducting substrates, e.g. titanium implants, as the current flows only via the layer ( 7 ).

Abstract: A simple technique for introducing a hybrid alignment or a homeotropic (vertical) alignment into liquid crystal films, which, by their nature, tend to have a horizontal alignment of liquid crystal molecules. The technique does not require special alignment films. 
     A liquid crystal composition for forming a liquid crystal film contains a polymerizable liquid crystal compound and a hydrolysate of an alkoxysilane compound. The hydrolysate of the alkoxysilane compound contains a siloxane oligomer of which degree of polymerization is from 2 to 25. Furthermore, the alkoxysilane compound is a trialkoxysilane compound having a functional group. This liquid crystal film composition can be produced by hydrolyzing an alkoxysilane compound to obtain a hydrolysate and then uniformly mixing the hydrolysate with a polymerizable liquid crystal compound. Alternatively, it can be obtained by uniformly mixing the alkoxysilane compound with the polymerizable liquid crystal compound and subsequently hydrolyzing the alkoxysilane compound in the mixture. One mole of the alkoxysilane compound is preferably hydrolyzed with 0.1d to 2.0d mol of water, given that the number of alkoxyl groups in a molecule of the alkoxysilane compound is d. An optically anisotropic film can be obtained by applying the liquid crystal film composition to a base film, causing the liquid crystal molecules in the composition to align in a nematic alignment, and curing the composition. The alignment of the liquid crystal molecules in the film is preferably a nematic hybrid or nematic homeotropic (vertical) alignment.
