This invention relates to a method of transferring a discrete portion of a first web onto a second web. The method includes advancing the first web at a first speed and advancing the second web at a second speed. The first web is directed to a converting mechanism where a discrete portion is formed. The discrete portion is then transferred onto a vacuum anvil roll that is rotating at the speed of ...

The invention relates to a digital camera, an imaging device and a method for dental digital imaging. One sensor is used for tomographic imaging and at least one sensor is used for transillumination imaging. The sensors are arranged to overlap each other. This arrangement provides a multiple use and a relative inexpensive camera compared with the ones using one sensor with a large area. Additional...
