A panel has a core of wood material or a wood material / plastic mixture, a top and an underside, and two opposite side edges, which have profiles that correspond to each other such that two identically configured panels can be connected and locked to one another in the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) directions by an essentially vertical joining movement. The locking in the horizontal direction (H) can be brought about by a hook connection with an upper locking section having a hook element and a lower locking section having a hook element. The locking in the vertical direction (V) can be brought about by at least one tongue element that is formed from the core in one piece and can be moved in the horizontal direction (H). The at least one tongue element provided on the lower locking section is free with respect to the core in the direction of the opposite side edge by means of an essentially vertical slot and during the joining movement snaps in behind a locking edge extending essentially in the horizontal direction (H), which locking edge is embodied on a locking projection. The tongue element is connected to the core on at least one of its two ends in the direction of its side edge (II), and the width (B1, B2) of the locking edge is different in size over the length (L) of the opposite side edge (I).

A hand-held power tool includes a spring-mounted decoupling device (16) for supporting a tool handle (14) on a tool housing (4) and having a first support arrangement (18) including a connecting device (22) pivotally supported relative to the housing by a housing-side pivotal support (28) and relative to the handle (14) by a handle-side pivotal support (32), and a second support arrangement (20) that is spaced from the operational axis (A) in a second direction (y) perpendicular to the first direction (z) further away than the first support arrangement (18).

Orthodontic attachment devices for interacting with an orthodontic appliance are described. Described herein are orthodontic attachment devices that include one or more features to improve the bonding to the teeth, improve the appearance of the orthodontic attachment device, improve the transfer of force from the orthodontic appliance to the tooth / teeth, improve the connection between the orthodontic attachment device and the orthodontic appliance, improve the ease and ability of removal of the appliance from the teeth, reduce the weight of the orthodontic attachment device, increase the stability of the connection of the orthodontic attachment device on the tooth, and / or reduce the number of steps for applying the orthodontic attachment device to the patient's teeth.

A system and method for repositioning teeth in a patient jaw includes an attachment bonded to a tooth. The attachment has at least one force receiving component for receiving a force. A polymeric shell repositioning appliance is positioned over at least some of the teeth in the patient jaw. The polymeric shell has at least one force transmitting component for engaging the force receiving component to form a locus of engagement. The locus of engagement transmits the force and moves but is maintained as the tooth is repositioned. In specific embodiments the locus of engagement is maintained over a substantial range of motion. The force transmitted at the locus of engagement increases in response to the tooth lagging an intended position. A space between the positioned appliance and the tooth permits the tooth to move into an intended position.

A sandwich structure is provided that includes a corrugated layer with at least one core layer (structure) made of a periodic array of adjacent truncated upward facing peaks and truncated downward facing valleys. Each truncated peak has a bonding land of an area A1. Each truncated valley has a bonding land of an area A2. A ratio of A1 / A2 is less than 2. A distance D is between neighboring peaks, and a distance D is also between neighboring valleys. The corrugated layer is made from an initially flat sheet thickness of t. A first sheet layer is physically coupled to bonding lands of the truncated peaks. A second sheet layer is physically coupled to bonding lands of the truncated valleys.

The invention relates to a support element (105) for a wiper drive (100), comprising a receiving portion (130) for attaching the wiper drive (100), a bearing point (135) for fixing the support element (105) to a surrounding structure (110), and a predetermined breaking point (140). A specified gap (150) lies between the support element (105) and the surrounding structure (110) at a contact portion (142) of the support element (105), the width of said gap being dependent on a force that acts on the support element (105) such that the contact portion (142) comes into contact with the surrounding structure (110) only when a specified force acting on the support element (105) is exceeded.

A pole, for use in skiing or other sport, of the type that includes a grip handle at its upper end, wherein the handle includes a support extending from its side wall and adapted to cooperate with the thumb of a user, so as to constitute an additional mechanism for the axial transmission of forces, by the thumb, when the hand is closed on the handle of the pole.

A process for producing semiconductor wafers by double-sided polishing between two rotating, upper and lower polishing plates, which are covered with polishing cloth, while an alkaline polishing abrasive with colloidal solid fractions is being supplied, the semiconductor wafers being guided by carriers which have circumferential gear teeth and are set in rotation by complementary outer gear teeth and inner gear teeth of the polishing machine, which is distinguished by the following process steps:(a) at least one of the two sets of gear teeth of the polishing machine is at least from time to time sprayed with a liquid which substantially comprises water,(b) the alkaline polishing abrasive is fed continuously to the semiconductor wafers in a closed supply device. There is also a device which is suitable for carrying out the process.

A mowing blade that performs an oscillating linear motion, has a blade bar, with at least two bar sections that are located one behind the other along a longitudinal axis. The front faces of the sections abut one another and have respective recesses. The thickness of the bar sections is reduced in recessed areas. A connecting fish plate, which can for example be constructed from a high strength material, is placed in the recesses. The blade sections, bar sections and fish plate are connected by cap screws and securing nuts. A blade section covers the butt joint between the two bar sections. The configuration enables absorption of inertial forces caused by the backwards and forwards reciprocating motion and compressive forces that result from the motion in the connection region.
