Abstract: A dental drill head, constituted of a head housing, a wind wheel, and bearings, the head housing being constituted of a head housing cover and a head housing cavity, and the wind wheel being constituted of a wind wheel shaft and wind wheel blades. An anti-suck-back device is configured between the head housing cover and a wind wheel shaft end part to which the wind wheel shaft corresponds. The present invention, which adopts the aforementioned technical scheme, firstly makes it possible to reduce the intake in of contaminants when suck-back is taking place as the impeller is braked; and secondly, while there is still a positive pressure inside the head, the rubber head covering uses elastic force to brake the impeller and completely prevents the intake of contaminants. Moreover, the structure is simple and costs are low. Since the pressing area is reduced and the cavity is arranged between the rubber layers and the head covering, the teeth are less susceptible to touching the pressing portion.

Abstract: A compact device useful for measuring an absorption spectrum of a liquid, such as water with organic contaminants, is provided. The device comprises an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) each emitting light with a unique spectral peak. A reflector shaped as a half ellipsoid reflects the emitted light to form a reference beam. The reflector has an opening to allow part of the emitted light to form a measurement beam after passing through the liquid. Two photodetectors measure the reference beam and the measurement beam to give a reference intensity and a measured intensity, respectively. The LEDs sequentially emit showers of light one-by-one, giving plural pairs of reference and measured intensities for estimating the absorption spectrum. The device receives energy from a separate power-providing device through wireless power transfer. The power-providing device harvests motional energy of the flowing liquid to generate electrical energy.
