Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an intraoral scanning system that is configured to generate a 3D representation of a dental object. The system receives signal information from the plurality of sensor elements, wherein the signal information is associated with one or more events at the plurality of sensor elements. The system determines a sequence of events associated with one or more sensor elements from the plurality of sensor elements based on the received signal information, determines position information of the focus element with respect to at least the part of the dental object based on the sequence of events, and generates at least one 3D point associated with at least the part of the dental object for the 3D representation of the dental object based on the position information.

Abstract: A cooler bypass valve apparatus installed the apparatus between a heat exchanger and conduits coupled to a device carrying fluid that needs to be cooled. A housing includes an inlet port and first and second outlet ports. At least one thermal actuator and at least one valve are mounted in a fluid flow passageway in the housing and operative in response to the fluid temperature to move the at least one valve between operative positions opening and closing fluid flow from the inlet port through the first and second outlet ports between a heat exchanger bypass loop and a heat exchanger cooling loop. In another aspect, two thermal actuators control a separate valve associated with the first and second outlets between open and closed positions enabling fluid flow from the inlet port exclusively through one of the first and second outlet ports or in a combined partial flow through both of the first and second outlet ports.

Abstract: A guide channel for energy guiding chains which can be mounted on a base structure, has parallel, lateral guide elements extending in the longitudinal direction of the guide channel, between which an energy guiding chain can rest and bottom guide elements, on which the lower strand of an energy guide chain can rest.

Abstract: A guide channel for energy guiding chains, which can be mounted on a base structure, has parallel, lateral guide elements extending in the longitudinal direction of the guide channel, between which an energy guiding chain can rest, and bottom guide elements, on which the lower strand of the energy guiding chain can rest. In order to simplify manufacture and assembly, as well as to reduce the transport volume, of a guide channel of this kind, the lateral and/or bottom guide elements are designed as profile rods (2, 3), and mounting elements (4), which can be mounted on the base structure, are provided, on which the profile rods (2, 3) can be mounted in such a way that they have a section (9) protruding into the inside of the guide channel (1), by means of which the energy guiding chain can be laterally guided and on which the lower strand can rest.
