Channel Signaling: Types and Performance

Channel-Associated Signaling

Channel-associated signaling transmits signals needed to manage and control a particular channel conversation along with the channel itself. Traditionally, the signals corresponding to a circuit are transmitted by the circuit itself.

Common Channel Signaling

The introduction of stored program control (SPC) leads to a novel method of marking. The control unit can send signaling channel signals for all circuits which are in conversation on a particular route. This method is called common channel signaling.

Signaling System Performance

When establishing a signaling system, it's necessary to determine the role the intermediate centrals will play in the performance of their control... Continue reading "Channel Signaling: Types, Performance & System Establishment" »

Contract Elements

Real Elements

The real elements of a contract are the thing and the price.

The Thing Under Contract

This refers to the good, right, or merchandise being exchanged. The thing must be possible, according to the Code of Commerce:

• Things to resell furniture
• Sale of samples: The seller must deliver the thing with the same qualities as the sample, and the buyer may refuse to receive what was contracted.
• Sale to the test: The buyer purchases the thing, reserving their final decision based on the results of testing the effectiveness of the goods.
• Confirmation unless-Sale: The contract is agreed upon between the buyer and a trade representative.

Lingual Arch

The lingual arch is a very useful device that is used to stabilize teeth (6-6), maintain anchorage in the jaw, or prevent teeth (6-6) from moving mesially and buccally. It can also widen the incisors and the dental arch.

It is used in mixed dentition (with temporary and permanent teeth) and as a holding arch at the end of treatment.

It is built on metal strips (6-6), adapting hard orthodontic wire (0.8 to 1 mm) in contact with the lingual surfaces. Its union with the band, in this case, is welded.

Nance Button

The Nance Button is used to reinforce the anchorage of the upper molars, stabilize molar groups, rotate molars, and increase the transverse distance between molars.

It is constructed with 1 mm wire, and this goes from one band... Continue reading "Orthodontic Appliances: Types and Uses in Dental Practice" »
