Abstract: A component for a syringe is disclosed. The component has formed a structure which has a friction-reducing effect due to its shape in the syringe. The component can be, for example, a cylinder, a piston or a seal for the syringe. The structure comprises, for example, elevations or depressions which have a linear, punctiform, elliptical or polygonal design. Also disclosed is a syringe which has at least one such component. The use of a component with a friction-reducing structure makes it unnecessary to use an additional friction-reducing coating, for example silicone, which can lead to undesirable effects on the medicament to be administered with the syringe.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining at least one relevant single image, wherein a plurality of single optical images are generated during a continuous optical measurement (3) of a dental subject (1) to be recorded. During the optical measurement (3) an audio recording is generated by means of a microphone (4) and at least one speech sequence (12; 15; 28) spoken by a user (6) is recorded. The relevant single image (7; 8; 24) is then selected within a specified sequence duration between a start time (17, 18) and an end time of the speech sequence (12; 15; 28).

Abstract: The invention relates to a blood lancet apparatus with a base member for the arrangement of a plurality of apparatus components. The base member comprises for example a lancet-receiving device for coupling the blood lancet apparatus to a lancet element, at least one spring element for acting upon the lancet-receiving device with spring force and an actuating element for initiating a movement of the lancet-receiving device. The coupling between the lancet-receiving device and the lancet element is capable of being altered by means of a fixing and/or dispensing device. According to the invention the lancet-receiving device is capable of being deformed by means of a movement of the fixing and/or dispensing device in the longitudinal direction of the lancet-receiving device and by means of an engagement of the fixing and/or dispensing device in at least one recess in the lancet-receiving device.

Abstract: In order to produce a method of providing a workpiece with a coating comprising the following process steps: —coating the workpiece: and —drying the workpiece by means of a drying device which is of increased capacity and is also particularly suitable for very long workpieces, there is proposed a method wherein the workpiece is moved relative to the drying device after the process of coating the workpiece has begun and before the process of drying the workpiece has terminated.

Abstract: In a plurality of stator coils arranged on the yoke, each coil has a pair of ends, each end being adjacent to a respective end of an adjacent coil to form pairs of adjacent ends. A plurality of mutually insulated concentrically arranged linking conductors each has a plurality of circumferentially arranged terminal elements, each terminal element being electrically connected to a respective pair of adjacent ends to form a contact area in a common axial and radial position.

Abstract: A turbine wheel for driving rapidly rotating tools, in the form of a circular disk or ring, configured for mounting so as to be rotatable about an axis. Disposed thereon in circular formation are turbine blades having axially parallel front and back faces curved in the radial direction. The front face has a lesser radius of curvature (R3, R4), at least in portions, than the back face. This feature allows the turbine wheel to fit into the conventional turbine housings without relatively major redesign and with, at most, slight modifications. The turbine wheel can achieve higher torque than previous turbine wheels at the required high rotational speeds. Thus, a greater quantity of material can be applied to the spraying dome or a spraying disk without a detrimental braking. Surfaces to be sprayed can be provided with a uniform coat of material in shorter time.

Abstract: A stator for an electrical machine includes a stator yoke and a plurality of stator coils arranged on the stator yoke. An interconnection arrangement is arranged on one end face of the stator yoke. The interconnection arrangement has connecting conductors which are electrically insulated from one another. The connecting conductors are arranged concentrically with respect to one another and each have a different diameter. The connecting conductors have connections for the ends of the stator coils and for connection to the electrical machine. To minimize the space requirement of the stator and simultaneously allow the stator coils to be automatically interconnected in an automated manner, the interconnection arrangement is arranged inside an area bounded by the stator coils. Furthermore, the connections for the ends of the stator coils include connection projections designed such that they project outward at an angle to the respective connecting conductor to attach the stator coil ends.
