Abstract: An apparatus for modelling a shaft in 3D, includes a sensor head adapted to be axially moved within the shaft. The sensor head includes: image sensors placed along the circumference of the sensor head, adapted to take images along an inner circumference of the shaft; a measuring apparatus adapted to determine a measured height position of the sensor head within the shaft. A processing unit includes: a placement module configured to place the images in a virtual space, based on the measured height position and the positioning of the image sensors on the sensor head, a correction module configured to correct the placement, based on comparing overlapping images and/or based on a measured deviation of the sensor head with respect to a central axis of the shaft.

Abstract: An assembly for forming an injection device, comprising: a foot to be placed on a skin; a body comprising at least one needle, the body being movably mounted to the foot for allowing movement of the needle towards the skin, the needle extending out of a second contact surface by a predefined distance for limiting a penetration depth of the needle; first friction means for preventing movement of the body relative to the foot for causing a sudden acceleration; the assembly further comprising second friction means for creating a dynamic friction when the needle is moving towards the skin for keeping the skin stretched.

Abstract: A method and assembly for preparing a drink based on frozen food comprises storing frozen food in various containers in the form of first granular materials and under deep- freeze conditions, crushing a portion of at least one of the first granular materials into a second granular material, and placing the second granular material into a cup. A first liquid is added to the cup at a temperature of at least 50° C. The cup, filled with the foods and possibly the first liquid, is closed, and the content of the cup is ground into a homogeneous mass. Lastly, the cup is opened and served.

Abstract: A device for capturing a predetermined volume of a predefined portion (e.g. first void) of a liquid flow, comprises an inlet, an outlet, and a guide with an element displaceable in a first position for capturing the first liquid portion in a reservoir, and in a second position for blocking access to the reservoir, and for passing the liquid to the outlet. The displaceable element moves in transverse direction to the liquid flow, and has lifting means. The element may be substantially flat, or tubular with an elliptical cross section. A kit of parts and a method of assembly are also claimed.

Abstract: An optical design is described to be used in a color projection system. The system comprises a white light source (52), a light splitting means to split the white beam into color subbeams, optical components to direct each color subbeam on a light modulating means (56) and a dichroic prism (70). The light splitting means and the optical components are arranged such that each of the images of the color subbeams imaged on the light modulating means (56) has equal size and orientation, i.e. such that the magnification of the color subimage on the light modulating means (56) is equal. This is obtained by providing equal light paths for each color subbeam or by providing optical components such that either all different color images on the screen are inverted or none of the different color images are inverted.

Abstract: A system and method for fixing a projection lens 102 and adjusting the position of a projection lens 102 is provided, which is compact and has a high precision. The projection lens 102 is positioned on a base plate 104. The position of the projection lens can be adjusted by providing possibilities for horizontal and vertical shift in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the projection lens 102. This is performed by actuating three points of the base plate 104. Furthermore, by providing further shifting means at the three points of the base plate 104, tilting of the projection lens can be performed, thus providing Scheimpflug correction. In this way, motion of the projection lens in five degrees of freedom is provided by actuating three points at a base plate 104 whereon a projection lens 102 can be easily mounted and removed.
