Abstract: The invention relates to a plant base (1) comprising a base section (3) with a seat (2) for a plant
pot, the plant base (1) furthermore comprising a tail section (4) that extends in the horizontal
direction from a rear of the base section (3). 
     The invention furthermore relates to a plant base (1) from the previous paragraph,
wherein a groove/protuberance combination is provided at the front of the base section (3) and
the rear of the tail section (4), the protuberance (6) on the plant base (1) being able to be
accommodated in the groove (5) of a further corresponding plant base (1), the groove (5) and the
protuberance (6) each having a support surface, the support surface of the protuberance (6) being
lower or higher than the support surface of the groove (5), such that when the protuberance (6) of
the plant base (1) has been taken up in the groove (5) of the corresponding further plant base (1) one
of the two plant bases (1) is lifted from the substrate at the location of the engaging
protuberance (6) and groove (5). 
     What is achieved with a plant base (1) according to the invention is that the plant base (1)
continuously retains the same orientation during transport over a conveyor belt .
Furthermore, successive plant bases (1) will be kept a sufficient distance apart.

Abstract: The invention relates to an oil flow control valve (10) for a cam phaser
comprising a check valve (12) in order to prevent a back-flow of oil from the
cam phaser towards an engine oil system. According to the invention, the check
valve (12) is integrated in the housing (14) of the oil flow control valve (10).
Therefore, the equilibrium of a spool (20) of the oil flow control valve is not
influenced when the oil pressure suddenly changes in the oil flow control valve
due to varying efforts in the cam phaser caused by the valve train. This enables
a better control of the spool and, hence, of the cam phaser.

Abstract: A single microprocessor-based interface is connected between a n oninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) sensor (302) and an invasive blood pressure (IBP) monitor (318). The interface effectively emulates an IBP transducer so that the IBP monitor sees the interface as if it were a regular IBP transducer from a fluid-filled blood pressure monitoring line. It receives the signal from an NIBP sensor and determines the blood pressure corresponding to the signal. It accepts the excitation voltage provided by the IBP monitor. From the excitation voltage and a known transducer sensitivity which the IBP monitor is configured to work with, the interface emulates the IBP transducer output signal corresponding to the blood pressure. The interface also emulates the input and output impedances of the IBP transducer. Zeroing of the interface with the IBP monitor can be performed in a way that is similar to that for a fluid-filled system.
