Citing his friendship with Potter County Sheriff Michael Shumate and his wife, Beverly, the presiding judge in their divorce case removed himself on Thursday, court records show.
108th District Judge Ebelardo "Abe" Lopez signed the recusal order Thursday, which calls on Texas 9th Administrative Judicial Region Judge Kelly G. Moore to assign a new presiding judge, court records show.
"Due to the nature of my relationship with both parties of the above referenced matter, I have taken the liberty to recuse myself," Lopez wrote in a Jan. 12 letter to attorneys on both sides.
Lopez granted a temporary restraining order against Beverly Shumate when Michael Shumate filed for divorce in his court, court records show.
An injunction hearing was scheduled in Lopez's court for next week. It was not known Friday what impact the recusal will have on scheduling.
Michael Shumate, who has been sheriff since 2001, filed for divorce Wednesday morning, about two hours before an apparent domestic disturbance occurred at their home in the 6200 block of Adirondack Trail that afternoon, reports show.
Beverly Shumate told police that Michael Shumate had shoved her during the incident. Beverly Shumate did not require medical treatment.
No charges had been filed as of Friday.

On October 13, the San Diego Chargers put Shawne Merriman on the reserved-injury list with a "minor injury designation."
That move meant that the linebacker would eventually be put on waivers, allowing teams to pick up Merriman's contract.
It is very possible that Merriman will clear waivers, especially since he has dealt with injuries throughout his career.
In three games this season, Merriman only managed to record three tackles. If a team claims Merriman, they will have to take on his $3.269 million salary.
It comes down to whether or not a team, most likely contending for a playoff spot, wants to take a chance on Merriman and have him on the roster for the second half of the season.
It may be more likely that a team waits for Merriman to clear waivers and signs him to a less expensive contract.
Here are 10 teams that may acquire Shawne Merriman.

In what is one of college football's biggest games this weekend, No. 17 Stanford (4-1) travels to South Bend to take on No. 7 Notre Dame (5-0). Saturday's matchup is pivotal for both teams, and the presence of ESPN's College Gameday crew only adds to the atmosphere.
The Fighting Irish will try to stay perfect and improve to 6-0.
Stanford will provide them with one of their biggest challenges of the season so far.
The Cardinal look to prove a point and show that they're still one of the best teams in the nation despite losing to the Washington Huskies a couple of weeks ago.
The Cardinal also can make history with a win. They'd be the first team to beat USC and Notre Dame four consecutive times.
Notre Dame, on paper, will be Stanford's second-most difficult opponent so far this season, but the way they match up with the Cardinal will likely make this game more difficult than the one against USC.
Stanford is arguably very similar to the Michigan State Spartans. They both love to run the ball with their star running backs and have very tough defenses. Unfortunately for the Cardinal, Notre Dame managed to beat the Spartans 20-3.
David Shaw and the Cardinal will need many things to go their way in order to upset the Irish.
Here are five keys to the game for Stanford.

PowerColor HD4870 Reviewajmatson -
Category: Video Cards
Price: $399
» Discuss this article (3)
If you recently read our review of the PowerColor HD 4850, then like me you are anxious to find out about the next level card based on the RV770 core, the HD 4870. The HD 4870 takes the memory from the previous standard of GDDR3 to the new GDDR5 which, even with lower memory clock speeds, boasts a higher memory bandwidth over GDDR3, all with a 256-bit memory bus versus the 512-bit that the new NVIDIA GTX series cards are using. The one thing that I am concerned with in the HD 4870 card is whether the overheating issue that is plaguing the early HD 4800 series cards has been fixed with the Dual Slot style cooler. Also, this is an opportunity for ATI to give NVIDIA a run for its money by competing with its new line of GTX cards. Will they be able to make the comeback all have been expecting?
PowerColor has had much success in its line of ATI graphics cards and is no stranger to pumping out good models, as we saw with the release of its HD 4850 card. The HD supports ATI's CrossfireX multi-GPU technology allowing up to four GPUs to be linked together for the ultimate scalability. Paired with the right board, these could be the revolution that gamers need to run their games at high resolutions with maximum settings for the most realistic gameplay ever. Without any further waste of time, let's get down and dirty with PowerColor's new HD 4870 video card.
Closer Look:
The PowerColor HD 4870 has just about the same packaging as the HD 4850. The difference you can see right off the bat is the memory specification of the HD 4870. The back of the packaging has a list of the specifications and features that the PowerColor HD 4870 offers. If you look over to the left side of the box, PowerColor has listed the power and system requirements for the HD 4870 card.
Now that everything has been laid out, let's take a better look at the card itself.

Rexnord earnings jump, sales remain flat
Rexnord Corp. reported a nearly three-fold increase in fiscal fourth-quarter net income, even as sales remained flat, the company said Tuesday.
The West Milwaukee-based manufacturer of process and motion-control equipment and water management products said net income rose to $23.9 million, or 24 cents a share, from $8.6 million, or 12 cents, a year earlier. Year-ago results included a loss from discontinued operations of $6.3 million, or 9 cents a share.
Excluding the year-ago loss, Rexnord's earnings rose 60.4%.
Sales for the three months ended March 31 rose to $540.3 million from $540.1 million.
Revenue from Rexnord's Process & Motion Control division declined about 5% to $340 million due to lower shipments to mining customers. Water Management sales rose 11% to $200 million on an increase in shipments to Rexnord's global water infrastructure markets.
For the current quarter, Rexnord expects sales of $489 million to $499 million and adjusted earnings of 17 cents to 19 cents a share.
The company, which announced in February that it had hired Goldman Sachs and Co. to conduct a strategic review of the business, including a possible sale of the company, said its board of directors continues to review the company's various strategic alternatives and expects to complete the review by the end of the fiscal first quarter.

Really nice!
Thanks, Gina! I did another pillow from this block pattern without the cording, but with quilting. I put this one together with cording left over from a matching seat cover. After I got it all put together, I realized I forgot to quilt it! But I think this pattern is so great for stripes that it stands on its own.
I think the bias cording makes for a terrific complementary frame.

Marina LeBlanc
February 8, 2004
7 lbs. 1 oz.
Charm, beauty, impeccable timing: Clearly, tiny Marina LeBlanc is a baby with acting in her blood. Rather than share the stage with dad Matt LeBlanc, Marina waited until her father finished taping the final episode of Friends. Sixteen days later she had the limelight to herself as she made her world debut—a tad overdue—at 2:50 p.m. on Feb. 8 at Los Angeles's Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. A proud LeBlanc, 36, began placing excited calls to friends and family. "Matt has been wanting this for so long," says Friends executive producer Kevin Bright.
"There's nothing he won't do for that little girl."
"I'm looking at her right now," a plainly mesmerized LeBlanc told Bright by phone the next day, "and it's just the most amazing thing that's ever happened in my life."
Though Marina is LeBlanc's first child, he already has ample experience with fatherhood. During the five-year engagement that preceded his marriage last May to model Melissa McKnight, 38, LeBlanc developed tight bonds with her two children from a previous marriage, Tyler, now 13, and Jacquelyn, 9. The family shares a ranch north of L.A., where LeBlanc spends his free hours dirt-biking with Tyler and horsing around with both kids. "At heart, Matt's a kid, so he's just dealing with his peer group," says Bright. "They're a wonderful family unit."
With production on his upcoming sitcom Joey not slated to begin until April, LeBlanc plans to spend the next few weeks getting used to life with Marina. "He's going to be a great dad," says Friends pal Matthew Perry. "He's had years of practice." Of course, spit-up, diapers and all the other things that go with having an infant in the house are new. "Being the daddy of a baby is a different ball game," says Maggie Wheeler, who plays Janice on Friends.

Bornean orang-utan:Pongo pygmaeus
Sumatran orang-utan: Pongo abelii
Bornean orang-utan: at least 54,000
Sumatran orang-utan: 6,600
Bornean orang-utan: endangered
About orang-utans
There are two species of orang-utan – the Bornean and the Sumatran. Orang-utans used to roam as far north as southern China, and as far south as the Indonesian island of Java. Today they're only found on two islands – Sumatra and Borneo.
Orang-utans spend a lot of time alone but have loose relationships with other orang-utans in their community. They spend most of their lives in trees, where their long, strong arms help them swing through the forest canopy and hang from branches as they eat their favorite food – fruit.
Orang-utan numbers have declined by around 50% in the last 60 years, mainly because of loss of habitat.
Find out how you can help save orang-utans
Five facts about orang-utans
- Orang-utan means 'man of the forest' in the Malay language.
- 60% of an orang-utan's diet is fruit. The rest is young leaves, shoots, insects, soil, tree bark and sometimes even eggs and small vertebrates.
- An orang-utan's arms are longer than its legs, reaching its ankles when it stands.
- Infant orang-utans stay with their mothers for 7-11 years. An infant rides on its mother's body and sleeps in her nest until they are able to survive on their own.
- Orang-utans can live up to 50 years old in the wild.
Why orang-utans matter
Orang-utans are known as gardeners of the forest – playing a vital role in seed dispersal, especially for large seeds that are not spread by smaller animals.
Without the orang-utan these larger seeds would either be dispersed over shorter distances, dispersed less often, or not dispersed at all. This would affect the natural structure and functioning of the forest ecosystem – which is important to people and other animals.
The people of Borneo and Sumatra depend on the orang-utan's forest for food, water, income and defence. For example in the 2004 tsunami, coastal orang-utan habitat in Sumatra protected the communities that lay behind it by absorbing the power of the waves. Communities not sheltered this way faced devastation – losing property and lives.
The orang-utan's habitat is also home to other threatened animals – like the Sumatran tiger, clouded leopard, Asian elephant and Sumatran rhino. So by conserving the orang-utan's habitat, we're also benefiting other key species.
Threats to orang-utans
Agriculture and palm oil
A large number of wild orang-utans live outside of protected areas. Over the past 20 years, more than 80% of the orang-utan's habitat in Borneo and Sumatra has been lost to agricultural conversion – mainly for the production of palm oil, a product found in more than half of packaged products in our supermarkets.
Peat swamp forests that are home to high densities of orang-utans are often targeted for oil palm plantations.
Habitat loss
Road development, illegal timber harvesting and unsustainable logging, mining and human encroachment also result in habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation.
Illegal pet trade
Young orang-utans up to the age of seven are sought after for the illegal pet trade. When infants are targeted, usually the mother is killed. Illegal wildlife trade
How WWF is helping protect orang-utans
We work on many fronts - conserving orang-utan habitat, promoting more sustainable forestry and agricultural practices, and tackling the illegal wildlife trade.
Protecting the "Heart of Borneo"
We're working with Borneo's governments to conserve an area of forest known as the Heart of Borneo, through a network of protected and sustainably-managed areas where hunting and illegal logging are prohibited.
Restoring wildlife corridors
We're also working to identify and restore wildlife corridors between protected areas. This will reconnect previously fragmented orang-utan habitat so there will be large blocks of interconnected forests.
Promoting sustainable palm oil
In 2004, we helped set up the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil – RSPO. This promotes the production and use of sustainable palm oil, which ensures that income is filtered down to local people and important forests that are deemed to be of 'high conservation value' aren't cut down to make way for oil palm plantations.
We work with industries and individuals to encourage increased demand and supply of certified sustainable palm oil. So look out for the 'CSPO' logo on products in your supermarket.
Reducing the demand for the illegal pet trade
We're working with TRAFFIC (the wildlife trade monitoring network) to improve enforcement of wildlife laws that ban the trade in live orang-utans. And we're helping to reduce the demand for the illegal pet trade.
Success story: sustainable palm oil production increases by 630%
The global production of certified sustainable palm oil has increased from 1.3 million tonnes in 2009 to 8.2 million tonnes in 2013. And more work is being done to reduce the production of unsustainable palm oil that threatens the orang-utan's forest home.
European companies are leading the way in using sustainable palm oil – around 80% of the palm oil they use is sustainable.
Retailers using 100% sustainable palm oil include Boots, Co-op, Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's.

Iran's battered reformers seek election rebound
TEHRAN, Iran -- Reform-minded Iranians who have faced years of crackdowns looked Friday to claw back a bit of ground in a presidential election that gave them a chance to upend a vote that once appeared solidly in the hands of Tehran's ruling clerics.
While Iran's presidential elections offer a window into the political pecking order and security grip inside the country, they lack the drama of truly high stakes as the country's ruling clerics and their military guardians remain the ultimate powers.
Election officials began the ballot count after voters waited on line for hours in wilting heat at some polling stations in Tehran and other cities, while others cast ballots across the vast country. Voting was extended by five hours to meet demand, but also as possible political stagecraft to showcase the participation.
The apparent strong turnout suggested liberals and others abandoned a planned boycott as the election was transformed into a showdown across the Islamic Republic's political divide.
On one side were hard-liners looking to cement their control behind candidates such as nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, who said he is "100 percent" against detente with Iran's foes, or Tehran's mayor, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf.
Opposing them were reformists and others rallying behind the "purple wave" campaign of the lone relative moderate left in the race, a former nuclear envoy, Hasan Rowhani.
A sampling of results from around Iran suggested Rowhani's appeal was broad in cities and rural areas, although the tally was too small to draw clear trends, officials handling the ballot count said.

Playing tough defense to be key to Brady Eagles' success
Inexperienced team shows promise.
The Brady Eagles boy's basketball team is showing a blue-collar attitude in the first weeks of practice and head coach Dave Jacobs said he thinks the hard work will carry over into games.
"We are working very hard and the guys are determined to have another good season," Jacobs said.
With the loss of leading scorer Zach Mann, Jacobs said the team will play tough defense and use a balanced offensive attack to win games this season.
"Playing tough defense is what will keep us in games," Jacobs said. "Right now our biggest upside is the willingness to work hard on the defensive side of the floor."
The Eagles have four returners with varsity experience, two of which have started basketball games. Troy Lusk, a full-time starter a year ago, has stepped up in practice and done a good job, Jacobs said. Lusk leads with both his voice and his example.
Replacing a player like Mann who can score in bunches won't be easy, Jacobs said, but the Eagles will attack with a number of players.
"Regardless if you have a player who can score or not you want to spread your scoring around," Jacobs said. "This year everyone will be involved in the offense. If one guy is having an off night, someone will be there to pick it up."
Jacobs and the Eagles will use their stingy zone defense and balanced scoring to hopefully be a contender in the Sandhills Conference.
He said Stapleton-McPherson County will have a very good team.
"They were tough last year and they have a lot of kids coming back," Jacobs said. "They'll be tough to beat."
Sandhills-Thedford will also contend due to their height and decent athletes, Jacobs added.
However, he is unsure this early in the year just how good the Eagles will be.
"It's too early for me to tell right now. I'll know more after we have a couple games under our belt," Jacobs said. "I see us being very competitive like always and the kids will step up."
The Eagles biggest challenge this season, starting Friday in a matchup with Wauneta-Palisade at 7:30 p.m., is adjusting to a new starting lineup and getting used to new players.
Members of the 2013-14 Brady boy's basketball team are (*denotes returning letterwinner):
Seniors—Eric Roe, Austin Widick*.
Juniors—Troy Lusk*, Trevor Mann, Dalton Mays, Cody Most, Jon Taullie and Chase Viter*.
Sophomores—Tustin Golter, Brant May, Fabian Norton, Dayne Porter, Nate Sitorius* and Alex Trobaugh.

A big difference between Android and iOS is that Android allows every user the freedom to access their device's file system. File transfers between a computer and smartphone or tablet are as simple as plugging in a USB cable and firing up your desktop file manager. But what do you use when you need to manage your files on the go? Enter the Android file manager, a vital piece of software that, oddly enough, isn't even included as standard on some phones or tablets. Check out our list of the 10 best Android file managers.
ES File Explorer provides a wealth of file management features and useful extras. The app covers basics with an explorer window for copy, paste, delete and move operations; as well as a sidebar for extras like favorite folders; local storage locations; media galleries; a light media player; and an archive creator. Additionally, it can serve as a cloud storage client for such services as Dropbox and Google Drive, and it also supports FTP and LAN Samba, as well as app management. ES has continued to grow its feature set, with a cache cleaner, task killer, and a new homescreen format.
Astro Cloud & File Manager is another popular and powerful choice for Android file management. Like the name says, Astro includes both local storage and cloud storage management features, which means you can make sense of your internal storage and SD card space while also expanding your reach to the cloud. Astro's clean focus on file management, accompanied by a ton of configurable settings and unobtrusive features has won it many fans.
Mobi System's File Commander is solid file manager with extra features and utilities as in-app purchases. Rather than opening in file and directory view, File Commander's home screen presents users with a series of automatically categorized "libraries" such as audio, video and documents, with buttons leading to your internal storage and mounted storage devices. File Commander also supports remote access, file sharing and cloud storage. Additional tools are available in-app purchases.
Cheetah Mobile has a variety of utilities out there for Android tablets and smartphones, so it's no surprise that they've got their own file management tool, named, predictably enough, File Manager. The app opens with a home screen view of pre-categorized libraries for your photos, music, videos and documents, as well as buttons for your internal storage and other mounted drives. When working in folder view, a handy feature is a two pane mode that allows you to quickly swipe between two different folders. The app comes with support for cloud storage management and a variety of file transfer protocols.
Solid Explorer is an impressive Android file manager that brings the two-pane interface over to phones and tablets. The two independent explorer panes, combined with drag and drop support makes copying and moving files from different locations a breeze, and you can even set a panel to browse popular cloud storage services, such as Drive, Dropbox and SkyDrive. Solid Explorer also includes support for archived files such as .ZIP, .TAR, and .RAR, an indexed search function, and root explorer mode for rooted users.
AntTek Explorer Ex is another full-featured file manager that applies the two-pane interface for easy drag and drop controls while also coming with a lot of modern extras. In addition to basic file management, AntTek supports file streaming from a remote server, Samba and FTP capability, cloud management tools for Google Drive, Skydrive, Dropbox and Yandex, as well as built in image and music players.
Speed Software's Root Explorer is a trusted name in the Android file management field. Intended primarily for users with superuser or "root" access to their devices, Root Explorer provides access to lower levels of the Android file management, including the app data folder. In addition, Root Explorer also covers file management basics, with some nice extras such as built in support for many archive file formats such as .ZIP, .TAR, and .RAR files, cloud storage management, app management, a text editor and SQL database viewer features.
The name 'Total Commander' should be familiar to many desktop users as it's already a popular third-party file management tool for desktops. Now the dev has made the leap to Android, bringing Total Commander's distinctive two-pane browsing system to mobile users. This apps makes copying, pasting and comparing files and folders particularly easy to handle. Root functions, multi-select, filename sorting, directory history, bookmarking and a light media player are among the extra features, while plugins for FTP and LAN support are available.
X-plore File Manager features a two-pane file explorer with buttons and features displayed in a dividing column in the middle of the screen. The interface makes comparing and moving files around easy, but X-plore's folder view acts like the 'Folder' sidebar of Windows Explorer, expanding outward for an exploding view of your file system. Built-in media viewers, zip file creation and unpacking, as well as LAN and Web storage support are among the many additional features.
The rather unimaginatively named "File Explorer" or FX, offers a nice browsing interface that starts you out with a single window displaying bookmarks, files and additional resources. You can then open up new windows that can be viewed in split view style, à la Total Commander, while also including the ability to create even more windows, for a combination of multi-tab and two-pane interface styles. The app includes thumbnail viewing, a text editor, support for Wi-Fi SMB sharing, a Recycle Bin and an optional Root Explorer plugin.

Why I'm Buying Resident Evil Code Veronica X HD
These were the CONS from Gamepro's review of Resident Evil: Code Veronica HD:
"CONS: Terrible controls hamper much of the gameplay; puzzles are occasionally way too obscure to figure out without help; forced camera perspective feels cheap later in the game; rarity of items and weapons can get you stuck in a corner if you're not careful."
My question to the person that wrote the review is how many Resident Evil games have you played before? Last I remembered Code Veronica was similar to Resident Evil games before Resident Evil 4. The fixed camera angels weren't "cute" in the year 2000. They made Resident Evil the series it is today! Pressing "forward" to move is nothing new to veterans of the series who think the series has recently moved in the wrong direction. The rarity of items and weapons is also a staple in the series. The game would be way too easy and less scary if you had more bullets than you needed to survival. The genre is survival horror after all. Learn how to save bullets.
Destructoid's review of Code Veronica is similar to Gamepro's except a valid point is brought out in Dtoid's review. They ponder why younger Resident Evil Games such as the Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil 0 were overlooked for an HD remake. Capcom probably looked past Resident Evil 0 because that game is short. I remember finishing that game in one sitting. Capcom probably overlooked the REmake is already a remake. Why remake a game for a third time? I mean the first Resident Evil is a classic by all means, but give it a rest.
Speaking of games that need to stop being remade can Capcom stop remaking Resident Evil 4? I mean jeez you can play that game on everything from a Gamecube to an iPhone. Giving the game HD graphics doesn't justify releasing Resident Evil 4 for the umpteenth time. The problem with Resident Evil 4 is it created Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 5 is the worst game in the series. I didn't become a fan of the Resident Evil series because of it's over the top action. I became a fan because the atmospheric fixed camera games. I can not wait for Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS. In the mean time I'll download Resident Evil Code Veronica HD tomorrow and relive the Resident Evil experience I fell in love with.

Reviews of Littleton Granite & Stone Tile Repair Services
Littleton, CO
Todd was good contractor with whom to work. He was exactly on time. He came in and imediately mask off all the walls, doors, and casework near the areas to be cleaned. When he walked over our carpet, he took his shoes off. When he finished our slate floors, they looked nearly new. We were very pleased with his work and his price was reasonable. We would definitely use his services again and recommend him to our freinds.
Littleton, CO
They were able to do the job quickly, discussed different cost options to repair the tile, the repair looks great and they left the job site clean.
Littleton, CO
They called and said they were on the way and were on time. Did a great job of fixing our granite around the kitchen sink. Very professional and quality workmanship. I would not hesitate to call Marble Tec Systems, Inc. again.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a blank as defined in the claims which is to be used in the production of a dental shaped part, and to a method of producing said shaped part.
2. Description of the Related Art
EP 0 160 797 discloses a blank for the production of dental shaped parts, which blank is made up of a handle and a corpus of different materials. A reference surface on the handle can be formed in such a way that control information for the machining process depending on the characteristics of the blank, can be derived.
Another blank for the production of dental shaped parts is disclosed by DE 196 12 699. Here again, recognition of the type of blank from the geometrical shape of its contours is disclosed.
EP 0 455 854 discloses a blank, from which there can be carved a mating part to be administered to the patient, on the one hand, and an additional retaining or supporting part, on the other hand. A recess is carved into the mating part, which is shaped in such a way that it can be fitted on the retaining or supporting part.
The position of the abrasion-prone tools used for machining the blank is adjusted such that the tools are moved to engage defined reference surfaces on the blank. These reference surfaces can be on the handle, as shown in EP 0 160 797 or they can, as shown in DE 196 12 699, be positioned on the corpus of the blank or on its own reference part, which is attached to the blank at more or less arbitrary places.
The reference surfaces that are provided in the prior art are only suitable for purposes of adjustment of the tool relative to the blank.
It is an object of the invention to make it possible to reliably analyze or identify the tool equipment and/or the type and state of wear of the tool used in the machining equipment employed for machining the blank. In particular, it is intended to provide means of recognizing incorrect tool setups in grinding machines using different types of tool at the same time.
This object is achieved, according to the invention, by the features defined in the characterizing clauses of the independent claims, developments being characterized by the respective subclaims.
The advantage of a blank for the fabrication of dental shaped parts, comprising a corpus of tooth restoration material, from which, in turn, the shaped part can be made by machining, with the blank exhibiting at least one gauge that is geometrically formed in such a way that the tool used for machining is identifiable on the basis of its outer contour by means of the at least one gauge, is that the effectiveness of machining can thus be guaranteed using the intended specialty tool. Whether the blank consists of ceramics, metal, plastics, or any other dimensionally stable material is of no consequence. An incorrect tool setup can be particularly well recognized in the case of grinding machines that use different types of tool at the same time. Both grinding and milling, for example, are suitable machining processes.
The gauge is advantageously assigned to an ideal outer contour of a first tool, as this makes it possible to identify the tool that corresponds to the gauge. In addition, another tool having a different ideal outer contour from that of the first tool can be distinguished with the aid of the same gauge. In this way, not only can the tool matching the gauge be selected, but different tools can be distinguished from each other.
An advantageous shape of such a gauge can be a recess, in which the ideal outer contour of the first tool engages. Such engagement can be made possible, for example, by forming the recess such that the tool having an ideal outer contour fits it exactly.
Advantageously, the gauge exhibits a recess that corresponds to a first diameter d1 of the ideal outer contour of a first cylindrical tool, which diameter is smaller than the ideal outer contour of a second cylindrical tool having a second diameter d2. In this way, at least two tools of identical geometry but of different sizes can be distinguished from each other.
Another advantageous shape of such a recess serving as a gauge is a recess that is tapered in correspondence with the ideal outer contour of a first tapered tool, with the recess tapering to a diameter that is smaller than the smallest diameter of the ideal outer contour of a second cylindrical tool. In this way, it is also possible to distinguish tools of different geometry from each other. This principle is naturally also transferable to any other tool shapes, and can be used, for example, on tools having a rounded end.
Advantageously, the gauge is in the form of a groove or bore, since these are particularly easy to create.
It is especially advantageous when the gauge is designed in such a way that when the tool to which the gauge is assigned is moved into the gauge, the actual state of the permissible allowances of the respective tool can be identified such that the degree of wear of the tool can be assessed and, for example, a certain minimum tool quality can be prescribed. A further advantage is that it is possible to effect a reliable analysis or identification of the tool setup and/or the type of tool used in the machining equipment employed for machining the blank, and the wear condition of said tool.
Another advantage is gained when the blank comprises a handle for mounting and/or positioning the corpus of the blank in a machining device and when the gauge is provided on said handle, since thereby the gauge will remain effective throughout the entire machining operation and the corresponding tools can be checked on a continuous basis. Such identification of poor quality tools or incorrect setups will be contributory, for example, to preventing tool fracture during machining.
Alternatively, at least one gauge can be on the handle or on the corpus of the blank or on a reference area, by which means special production characteristics can be taken into consideration. In addition, at least one gauge can be at least two of the said positions.
If the gauge is designed as a universal gauge for prospective tools, advantageously various tool geometries can be checked with only one gauge. A gauge is considered to be a universal gauge if the geometrical shape of several tools can be checked with the aid of this one gauge. This requires that the shape geometry itself consists of several individual shape geometries, of which each corresponds to the tool geometry of its respective tool. By this means, it is not only possible for a more extensive tool setup to be examined with the aid of only one gauge, but it is also possible to examine the degree of wear of a number of, or if necessary all, tools with the aid of just one gauge. In this way, it will be possible to detect incorrect setup with minimum elaboration. Instead of using only one universal gauge, several universal gauges of identical or different geometrical shapes can be used if this would seem necessary, for production or control reasons for example, in order to enable the tool to be driven to the blank more quickly, for instance.
In accordance with a development, several gauges are provided for the characterization of a single tool and this single tool can be examined for more than one parameter of its condition and in particular for its deviation from an ideal condition.
The advantage of a procedure for the fabrication of dental shaped parts using a blank corpus of dental restoration material, from which the entire shaped part can be carved in a machining device by means of a tool, and the profile of the tool selected for such machining is examined before it is put to use with the aid of at least one of the gauges disposed on the blank is that it is possible to ensure, in this way, that said tool is, indeed, the correct tool for the machining operation to be carried out. This is achieved in that the actual values obtained are compared with the ideal outer contour.
A further advantage results if the tool dedicated to the gauge is driven into the gauge and the current deviation of the assigned tool from the ideal is determined, since information about the momentary tool condition can be determined in this manner each and every time the tool engages the gage(s) gauge(s). This can be done several times during an operation sequence. Thus an optimal condition and, therefore, high quality of the shaped part can be guaranteed.
Another advantage results when the degree of deviation of the actual condition of the tool from the ideal outer contour of the tool is determined and this deviation is allowed for when organizing the control of the blank machining operation. A parameter, for example, can be established for this purpose. A tool whose unsuitable condition has been recognized can, in such a case, be excluded from the machining process and new or other tools in better condition can carry out the task in hand. It is also conceivable to reduce down times by causing a change of tool to be suggested only if the machining process cannot be finished with any of the other tools that are already involved in the process. The information gained from the comparison can thus be used for a tool condition-specific control of the machining process.
All in all, it is to be emphasized that the gauges can be positioned anywhere and, advantageously, are not only provided for the selection of the tool by reproducing the negative shape of the tool intended for machining in its ideal condition, but are also available for determining the wear condition of the tool. The exact position of the gauge will be known to the machining equipment or is determined by it.
In addition, the gauge can be designed such that it can identify tools that are designated for the material.
This can, for example, be effected via the geometry or a specific machining resistance when using the tool in the known geometry of the gauge under known machining effort.
The method of the invention is described with reference to the drawings, in which:
The blank of
The material of handle 2 can be identical with, or different from, that of the corpus 1. In the case of different materials, blank corpus 1 will be fastened to handle 2, for example by gluing. For this purpose, handle 2 exhibits, for example, a circular cylindrical flange 2 a having a diameter that is sufficient to ensure secure attachment to corpus 1, and a shaft 2 b for insertion into the machining equipment. Shaft 2 b is designed to fit into a predefined socket on the machining equipment.
The blanks illustrated in
With all blanks, it is essential that the position of the gauges 4, 5 on the machining equipment is known or can be unambiguously determined. This can be done, for example, by scanning.
In the region of the end-cutting surface, the amount of wear of the coating 19 between the ideal outer contour 20 and the actual outer contour 21 is equal to the distance 6 which, with an original coating thickness of from 50 to 60 μm, can well amount to from 40 to 50 μm. The wear of the end-cutting surface can be determined by measuring the depth of penetration of tool 11 into gauge 5.
