The present disclosure includes: a communicator capable of communicating with an other device via an established communication channel; and a controller. When receiving a request to establish a session from the other device via the communication channel, the controller generates session information for identifying the session according to a state of the communication channel, through which the request is received, and transmits the generated session information to the other device via the communicator. When the session information is received from the other device via the communicator, and the state of the communication channel, through which the session information is received, does not conform to a state of the communication channel corresponding to the session information, the controller invalidates the session based on the session information.

The present invention relates to an orthodontic bracket system adapted to minimize forces of resistance, enhance treatment efficiency, and reduce overall treatment duration. The bracket may comprise three tie wings, with two positioned coronally and one gingivally at approximately the midpoint between them. The tie wings' slot portions are rounded to reduce friction, binding, and notching. The bracket slot base may comprise two semicylindrical prominences, aiming at reducing the contact area between the archwire and the slot. The orthodontic system is compatible with various orthodontic materials, including but not limited to stainless steel, titanium, ceramics, and medical-grade polymers.

A data transmission device comprising: a transmitter that transmits data; a storage that stores a transmission destination of the data; and one or more controllers that control encryption of the data, wherein the storage stores encryption setting for encrypting the data in association with the transmission destination, and the one or more controllers receive an editing instruction for the encryption setting according to whether or not the encryption setting is applicable to the data, and transmit encrypted data to the transmission destination via the transmitter.

An information processing apparatus includes: a display, a state detector that detects a state of the information processing apparatus; an event determiner that determines occurrence of an event requiring displaying of a warning screen; and one or more controllers, wherein the one or more controllers display, on the display, a setting screen enabling displaying corresponding to the event, and suppress the displaying of the warning screen on the display based on the state of the information processing apparatus detected by the state detector when the event determiner determines the occurrence of the event requiring the displaying of the warning screen.

An anti-slip cover (110) for example for a therapeutic cushion (100) of a wheelchair is provided. The cover comprises: a base layer (122) configured to cover the therapeutic cushion, the base layer having directional stretching properties is possibly made of a two-way or four-way stretch material. The cover further comprises a layer of flexible anti-slip material (120). This anti-slip material may comprise a substrate such as a silicone or urethane put on the fabric typically by, but not limited to, a silk screen process. The anti-slip material is affixed over the base layer and is forming patterns (420, 520, 620, 720, 820, 920, 1120) allowing increased stretchability configured to retain the buttocks of a user in a proper therapeutic position. The pattern comprises: a low friction area (116) positioned to receive ischium/sacrum of the user; an area (117) positioned to receive gluteal portion of the user, the gluteal area having a friction coefficient higher than a friction coefficient of the ischium/sacrum area; and an area (118) to receive the thigh portion of the user having a friction coefficient higher than the friction coefficient of the ischium/sacrum area.

There is provided a dental handpiece comprising a configuration to suppress heat generation per se by a simple configuration. According to the present disclosure, a dental handpiece is a dental handpiece configured to drive a cutting tool to rotate the cutting tool. The dental handpiece includes: a head configured to accommodate the cutting tool rotatably; a first bearing provided on an insertion side on which the cutting tool is inserted into the head, and configured to hold the cutting tool rotatably; a second bearing provided on a side opposite to the insertion side of the head and configured to hold the cutting tool rotatably; and a driving mechanism configured to rotate the cutting tool held by the first and second bearings. The first and second bearings each have a cage to hold balls, each cage being formed of a different material.

A semiconductor device (100) is proposed. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate (102) including at least a first semiconductor substrate portion (1021) and a second semiconductor substrate portion (1022) separated from one another by a first part (1041) of an intermediate dielectric structure (104) along a first lateral direction (x1). The semiconductor device (100) further includes a patterned first metal layer (106) over a first surface (1081) of the semiconductor substrate (102), wherein a first part (1061) of the patterned first metal layer (106) electrically connects the first and second semiconductor substrate portions (1021, 1022) at the first surface (1081). Each of the first and second semiconductor substrate portions (1021, 1022) includes a main portion (1023) adjoining the first surface (1081) and an auxiliary portion (1024) adjoining a second surface (1082) opposite to the first surface (1081), and, with respect to each of the first and second semiconductor substrate portions (1021, 1022), a width (w12, w22) of the auxiliary portion (1024) along the first lateral direction (x1) is larger than a width (w11, w21) of the main portion (1023) along the first lateral direction (x1).

A support apparatus is configured to support a procedure using a dental implant including a plurality of members. The support apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire three-dimensional data representing a three-dimensional geometry of an interior of an oral cavity including teeth forming a dentition and a jawbone; a computing unit configured to determine a position for each of the plurality of members in the oral cavity based on the three-dimensional data acquired by the acquisition unit, and adjust the determined position of at least one of the plurality of members based on a positional relationship between the plurality of members; and an output unit configured to output support information representing a position for each of the plurality of members after the adjustment performed by the computing unit.

Ein mikroelektromechanischer Drehratensensor (100) weist eine flexible Ringstruktur (110), die in Ruhe einen Kreis formt und geeignet ist, im Wesentlichen parallel zu der Ebene des Kreises über einem Substrat eine Anregungsschwingung auszuführen, der bei einer Drehung der Ringstruktur (110) eine durch die Corioliskraft erzeugte Detektionsschwingung überlagert wird, und zumindest eine Kopplungsstruktur (120) auf, die mit der Ringstruktur (110) verbunden und derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie geeignet ist, zusammen mit auf dem Substrat feststehenden Elektroden (130) einen Quadraturfehler des Drehratensensors (100) zu kompensieren.
