Abstract: A scanning light source includes a semiconductor light source and a motor, and scans output light of the semiconductor light source in front of a lamp according to the movement of the motor. A constant current driver supplies a driving current ILED to the semiconductor light source according to a light source control signal. A light source control signal generator generates the light source control signal so as to obtain a light distribution pattern that corresponds to light distribution instruction data. A delay time measurement device measures the delay time required for the transition of the on/off states of the semiconductor light source from the change of the light source control signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are a dielectric substance-electrode assembly in which an electrode is coated with a dielectric and a method for manufacturing the same. The dielectric substance-electrode assembly is formed by forming a lower dielectric electrode constituting a lower portion of an assembly body, sealing a capsule filled with a treated powder and a lower dielectric in which an electrode is formed, and forming an upper dielectric constituting an upper portion of the assembly body using the treated powder which is diffused on and bonded to surfaces of the lower dielectric and the electrode due to sintering heat treatment which is performed by applying an isostatic pressure in a state in which the sealed capsule is placed in a pressure vessel of a heat treatment equipment.

Abstract: Provided are devices, compositions, and methods for surface disinfection and decontamination; the devices generally adapted to contain a single or multi-component indicator composition, and optionally a disinfectant composition, and to dispense the indicator composition and optional disinfectant composition to a disinfectant solution, a surface, or a disinfectant article upon actuation of the device; also provided is an article of manufacture in the form of a removable cartridge adapted to fit a device described here, which may be pre-filled with a single or multi-component indicator composition as described here, and/or with a disinfectant composition, and one or more optional additives.

Abstract: There is provided a drinks stirrer (10) for stirring an infusion pouch within a drink. The infusion pouch comprises a pouch soring an infusion media, a tag for holding the infusion bag, and a string connecting the pouch to the tag. The drinks stirrer (10) comprises a proximal end (14) having a retainer device (32, 34) for retaining the tag to the proximal end, and a distal end (12) having a scoop (20) for holding the pouch. The scoop (20) comprises a slot (24) for receiving the string to constrain the pouch to adjacent the scoop. A drinks apparatus comprising the infusion pouch and the drinks stirrer is also provided.

Abstract: A novel maize variety designated PH4CM5 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are provided. Methods for producing a maize plant comprise crossing maize variety PH4CM5 with another maize plant are provided. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PH4CM5 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are provided. Hybrid maize seed, plants or plant parts are produced by crossing the variety PH4CM5 or a locus conversion of PH4CM5 with another maize variety.
