Abstract: A structural glass assembly in which one or more glass plates are secured by an attachment device to an adjacent element, the attachment device comprising a plate member partially overlying an edge region of the glass plate on one side only thereof and extending parallel to the plane of the plate so as to form a connection between the glass plate and the adjacent element, the plate member being spaced from the glass plate and secured to the edge region of the plate so as to permit the edge region to flex inwardly or outwardly when subjected to load.

Abstract: A motor-compressor for a refrigerator includes a housing containing a lubricant and a reciprocating compressor driven by a direct-current electric motor having a disc-shaped rotor and stator. The stator is located between magnetic flux closing discs of the rotor and carries electronically commutated drive coils. Goniometric indicators detect the position of the rotor and cause signals to be applied to an alternating current generator which modulates a bridge circuit to provide current flux for driving the rotor.

Abstract: A plug for connecting a plurality of individual elongate flexible conductors with a card edge connector in which an insulating housing is provided with a substantially planar beam for carrying a plurality of electrically conductive contact members that are each electrically connected with one of the conductors.
