Abstract: Disclosed is a holographic laser scanner of ultra-compact design. The scanner has a scanner housing having width, length and height dimensions, and a holographic scanning disc for scanning and focusing a plurality of laser beams so as to produce a plurality of laser scanning planes. A plurality of beam folding mirrors are disposed about the holographic scanning disc, for folding the laser scanning planes so as to project a complex scanning pattern within the spatial extent of a predefined 3-D scanning volume. A plurality of parabolic light collecting mirrors are disposed beneath the holographic scanning disc for collecting laser light reflected from scanned code symbols. In accordance with principles of the present invention, the geometrical dimensions of the beam folding mirrors in conjunction with the geometrical dimensions of the holographic scanning disc determine the width and length dimensions of the scanner housing, whereas the geometrical dimensions of the beam folding mirrors and parabolic light collecting mirrors beneath the holographic scanning disc determine the height dimension of the scanner housing. By virtue of the present invention, it is now possible to design and construct holographic laser scanner having minimized height and width dimensions hitherto unachievable using prior art design methodologies.

Abstract: Flue gases from combustion plants have water vapour from the combustion in the flue gas. With a condenser part of the vapour can be condensed and the condens heat be used to heat the return water from a heating system. By humidifying the combustion air with rest heat from the flue gas it is possible by using known technology to cool the flue gas to a temperature in the magnitude of 15  DEG C under the return water temperature and recover still more heat energy. The water content of the flue gas is high even after the condensation, especially if the return water temperature is high. It is an advantage if the flue gas temperature can be still more cooled, because forceful condensation improves the cleaning of the gas from dust particles and to avoid a vapour plume. This innovation reaches these goals by cooling the flue gas with ambient air.

Abstract: A composite for a dental restoration is presented comprising ground, densified, embrittled glass fibers together with fillers and a polymeric matrix precursor composition. The ground, densified, embrittled glass fibers are obtained by grinding glass fibers which have been densified and embrittled by heating glass fibers at a temperature substantially below the softening point of the glass fibers, without significant fusion or melting together of the fibers. The composite is particularly useful as a direct filling material, in that it has the feel and workability of an amalgam.

Abstract: An optical assembly (14) in the excimer laser (3) beam path, varies beam cross-sectional intensity. This variation is expressed by a Gaussian distribution, in at least one direction passing transversely through the beam. An independent claim is included for the corresponding method. Preferred features: The optical element responsible (15), can be moved in and out of the beam. Its microstructure has suitable diffractive and/or refractive properties for the purpose. It is radially symmetrical, producing a roughly constant-intensity central region, with Gaussian fall-off towards the edges. A similar element produces a maximum at the center, with similar fall-off towards the edges. Various distributions may be produced in various cross sectional directions. In two mutually-perpendicular cross sections, the intensities have constant- and Gaussian distributions respectively. In this case the beam deflection is perpendicular to the uniform intensity distribution. There are several elements on a movable carrier, bringing the distribution moderator (15) into or out of the laser beam. The carrier is a gear, turning about an axis parallel to the beam direction, with the optical elements (15) arranged on a pitch circle. In the laser beam path, a variable-focus lens system (19) can change the spot area projected onto the object surface. Spot area is co-coordinated with beam deflection between successive pulses and pulse frequency, such that spot areas overlap by about 30% on the object surface. The focal system, gear wheels and deflection have actuators under electronic control, with inputs predetermining the working parameters. A unit measures curvatures produced, storing them in a memory. These are compared with stored desired values, the deviation being employed to vary the working parameters, to achieve the desired profile.
