Abstract: The invention relates to a light curing device/base station combination, comprising a heat absorbing element, which is in particular metallic, and which is in thermally conducting connection with a heat source, in particular a light source, and in particular comprising a handle. The base station (12) has for the light curing device (14) a heat dissipating device(27), which lies against the heat absorbing element (24) when the light curing device (14) is accommodated in or on the base station (12).

Abstract: Transplanter which can avoid skips when planting, which skips may occur when seeds in a tray row fail to grow into seedlings. This is accomplished by picking up an entire row of seedlings from a tray, transferring the seedlings to a mechanism which eliminates gaps between seedlings, and then discharging the seedlings one at time to the ground with a desired spacing between the seedlings. A novel tray indexing mechanism is provided which can index trays of varying sizes. The planting mechanism has an air knife mounted adjacent transfer disks for straightening out the foliage as stems of seedlings before they are received by the planting disks, and the planting and transfer disks may be moved towards and away from each other for seedlings of differing heights.

Abstract: The present Invention relates to a hand-held light curing device (10), in particular for the dental sector, with a base station (30) or a rest, on which the light curing device (10) having a light source (10) is supported. A sensor (40) is fitted on the base station (30) or the rest or on the light curing device (10), and the sensor (40) initializes the light curing device (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a light curing device (10) having a light source (14), which is mounted such that it is thermally conductively connected to a heat sink (12), with electrical components which are fitted to a printed circuit board. The components are at least partially arranged in the cooling air stream of the heat sink (12) and the cooling air stream is at least partially guided by the printed circuit board.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container, especially for moisture-sensitive goods, with a container body formed by a wall and a bottom of the container, and a container cover which can be opened and closed. The container has a layer, preferably containing a desiccant, which extends over at least a part of the body and a transponder which is arranged between body and layer.

Abstract: A transplanting apparatus which can plant virtually 100% of the seedlings from a nursery tray, while avoid skips when planting which may happen when seeds in a tray row fail to grow into seedlings. This is accomplished by picking up an entire row of seedlings from a tray, transferring the seedlings to a mechanism which eliminates gaps between seedlings, and then discharging the seedlings one at a time to the ground with a desired spacing between the seedlings while having full physical control of the seedlings. A root ball compressor is provided to provide better control of the seedlings as the compressed root balls are less likely to tip over, and the compressed root balls are easier to be grabbed by the pinch disks.

Abstract: A display associated with a treatment device for dental material, with which at least one operating state of the device can be displayed. The display is a function of the operating state of the device. The display shows different operating states of the treatment device exclusively with the aid of color signals, whereby each color is associated with an operating state of the device.

Abstract: A device (10) and method for determining and controlling the degree of polymerization of polymerizable dental material (14), which device includes a light and/or heat source (18 or 20), with which the dental material (14) is impinged. The device further includes a control device (26) and a sensor (24) connected to the control device (26), whereby the sensor (24) detects radiation (natural radiation) emitted from the dental material (14) of a predetermined wavelength.

Abstract: A camera support assembly including an elongated support, such as a extensible support, which support extends between a base assembly and a handgrip, whereby a user of the camera may secure a camera to the base assembly and, while holding the handgrip, position the camera a distance away, which may be greater than arms length, to capture a still or moving image of the user, of an obstructed scene, or of hard to reach and/or unsafe areas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a closure cap for a container, with a hinge and a lid which is intended to be tightened to the rim of a container body, and with a closure element which is movable to a temper-evident position. The closure element 34 is attached to the closure cap 14 and movable to an intermediate position in which the closure cap 14 seals against the rim 18 of the container body 12. Additionally, the closure element 34 is movable from the intermediate position to the temper-evident position in a single stroke.

Abstract: The invention relates to a light measurement apparatus (34), having a light source to which a light guide apparatus (24) is connected, with the light guide apparatus (24) having a light outlet area (30) on the light output side and the light measurement apparatus (34) having a light sensor arrangement (36), and having a stop for the light guide apparatus (24) to make contact with. The light sensor arrangement (36) has at least two sensors (40a, 40b, 40c, . . . ), to which light from the light outlet area (30) can be applied.

Abstract: A fluid coupling assembly which has a novel female subassembly capable of receiving a male portion, the female subassembly being formed by spin welding two generally cylindrical plastic parts together, one of the parts being a quick connect end portion and the other part being the barb end portion. The female subassembly is provided with a key or keyway to prevent rotation, to mate with a corresponding key or keyway on the male portion to prevent false connections, and to act as a clear visual aid for orientation. In this design differing barb end portions can be secured to a common quick connect end portion.

Abstract: Provision is made of a semiconductor radiation source having a base body on which at least two LED chips are mounted, at least one chip of which is connected to a series resistor which can be adjusted. The LED chips (12, 14) are fitted to the base body (24) using a thermally conductive connection and at least one printed circuit board (30) which bears the series resistor (40, 42) is also mounted on the base body (24).

Abstract: The invention relates to a dental mold flask (10) for production, in particular for injection molding, of dental molded parts, with at least two mold shells (12) via which a mold cavity (14) can be formed for introduction of polymerizable plastic through a filling channel (16), and with an air release channel (42) for the air that escapes during filling of the mold cavity (14). The air release channel (42) has a filter element (40) whose permeability for air changes automatically, in particular decreases, as soon as it comes into contact with the polymerizable plastic.
