Abstract: A dispensing apparatus (10) for dispensing a product from a container (12) includes: a product chamber within the container (12); a valve (14) adjacent to the product chamber; a hinge assembly (16) secured to the opening of the container and to which is connected a nozzle assembly (20); and a lever (18) attached by means of the hinge assembly. The nozzle assembly (20) is rotatable between open and closed positions and includes an actuator portion provided with a lever bearing surface (96, 98) which co-operates with a bearing portion (100) on the lever (18) such that, when the nozzle assembly (20) is in the open position, operation of the lever (18) causes movement of the actuator portion to open the valve (14) and permit flow of the product out of the container (12). The nozzle assembly (20) includes at least one dog tooth (112) and the hinge assembly (16) includes at least one slot (68), such that the nozzle assembly (20) and actuator portion can be moved to open the valve (14) only when the nozzle assembly is rotated to a position in which the dog tooth (112) is aligned with the slot (68), thereby preventing unwanted opening of the valve (14). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fluid supply connector (10) for connecting a plurality of fluid lines (44b, 46) from fluid supply sources to a medical handpiece (50) is described. The connector (10) includes a plurality of inlet ends, each to be connected with a fluid line (44b, 46) extending from a fluid supply source, an outlet end (15f) to be connected with a fluid line (21) extending toward a medical handpiece, and a plurality of fluid passages (14a, 14b) each connecting one of the inlet ends to the outlet end (15f). At least one of the plurality of fluid passages (14a, 14b) has a check valve (13, 11e) provided therein for preventing flow of fluid back to the inlet ends. The connector facilitates changing of a fluid to be injected through the tip of a handpiece without changing connectors for each fluid. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The trailing strip (4) is moved by a drive (8). This causes back-and-forth reciprocation at right angles to the direction (L) in which the band travels. The drive is electric, hydraulic or pneumatic, and has a control unit (10). The stroke of the trailing strip is 5-100 mm, preferably 20-50 mm. Its movement is controlled over time, the profile of amplitudes being selectable. The profile is adjustable within time intervals. On the side of the recirculating belt which faces the transverse distribution pipe (6), there is a high pressure cleaner (11). A drive (12) causes oscillation, subjecting the belt to fluid (7) spray between the leading and trailing strips (3, 4). Further details and variants are provided, in accordance with the foregoing principles.

Abstract: A gas sensor of the type that detects the presence of a specific gas by monitoring the absorption of optical radiation transmitted through a chamber containing a sample of gas under test comprises an optical source for emitting radiation therefrom and a detector sensitive to radiation emitted from the source at opposing ends of a circumferential chamber, having optically reflective surfaces, extending around the periphery of a sensor housing. The optical pathway between the source and detector may include a radial portion, a circumferential portion and an axial portion to allow a compact optical path. The gas sensor includes, within a single housing, electronic circuitry for conditioning the electrical output of the detector to provide an output that is a function of at least one selected gas concentration and which is automatically compensated for at least one of temperature, pressure, humidity, and range normalisation.

Abstract: An optical element for the projection of a light beam comprises a solid body (1) of transparent material in which is formed a cavity (13) able to receive a light source (10), the cavity (13) extending along the principal axis (z) of the transparent body (1) and being delimited by a radially inner surface (3) and a terminal surface (2) of the transparent body (1). The surfaces (2,3) are able to receive separate respective portions (I,II) of the light flux generated by the source (10). The transparent body (1) further has a radially outer surface (4) which surrounds the radially inner surface (3). The radially outer surface (4) reflects the portion of the light flux (I) coming from the radially inner surface (3) along a direction substantially parallel to the principal axis (z). The transparent body (1) has, on the opposite side, a central surface (6) and an annular surface (5) surrounding the central surface (6), able to receive that portion (II) of the light flux and the reflected portion of the light flux (I) respectively and to transmit these light flux portions (I,II) in directions having predetermined orientations with respect to the principal axis (z). At least one of the surfaces is rotationally asymmetric with respect to the principal axis (z) of the transparent body (1). The surfaces cooperate in such a way as to shape the overall light flux (I,II) emitted by the central and annular surfaces (6,5) into a light intensity distribution having different divergences in two directions perpendicular to one another and to the principal axis (z).

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanical servobrake (1) comprising a piston rod (4) for directly connecting a brake pedal (2) to a piston (5) of the main brake cylinder (3), an electric motor (6) provided with a stator (7) and a rotor (8) that are concentrically arranged about the piston rod (4), and a spindle drive comprising an axially displaceable spindle screw (9) that is mounted in a rotationally fixed manner and is driven by the rotor (8) of the motor (6). When the motor (6) is activated for the use of the servobrake, said spindle screw moves towards a driving component (10) and pushes the same in the direction of the main brake cylinder (3). The motor (6) is controlled according to a crash sensor in such a way that it (6) is activated on a signal therefrom and, in the event of an accident, the motor (6) is activated by said crash sensor in such a way that the brake pedal (2) pivots away from the driver, thus reducing the risk of injury. Furthermore, the driving component (10) is directly provided on the piston rod (4). Said servobrake (1) can thus be connected as a module to conventional main brake cylinders (3). It is compact and has a simple structure.

Abstract: A luminous body is described, in particular in the form of a planar illumination device for general lighting or for backlighting of displays, wherein the luminous body comprises a plurality of light sources arranged in a housing (1) such as, for example, LED elements (3, 5). The luminous body is remarkable in that the light of the light sources is radiated at least substantially in a direction parallel to a light emission surface (6) of the housing (1), while the inner walls of the housing (1) reflect the light at least partly. Not only does this render it possible to achieve a very homogeneous light distribution on the light emission surface (6) also in the case of a small constructional height of the luminous body, but the fact that no optical waveguide plate is required in the housing (1) also provides advantages in the form of a simple manufacture and low cost.
