Abstract: A disinfection device (la) for applying a disinfectant to at least one fingertip (F) of a user comprises a housing (6; 6a, 6b) with a recess (4) accessible from the outside through an opening (3), into which recess the fingertip can be inserted, a spray unit (8) inside the housing, and a container (7) for disinfectant fluidly connected to the spray unit. The spray unit comprises a spray head (2) which projects into the recess and a valve device (9a) which is fluid-connected to the spray head and is designed in such a way that, when the spray head is actuated by means of the fingertip, it releases disinfectant from the container as an aerosol into the recess so that the aerosol can wet the fingertip.

Abstract: The invention relates to a carrying bag (1) for storing replacement shoes (2), in particular stiletto heels, comprising at least a first bag (1a), and further comprising a second bag (1b) for storing the replacement shoes (2). The second bag (1b) comprises a closing system (5b) by means of which an interior of the second bag (1b) can be closed and released for the replacement shoes (2). The first bag (1a) is fastened to or on a common separating surface (3b, 4a) on the second bag (1b) by means of a fastening system (5a), which separating surface is formed by a separating side (3b) of the first bag (1a) and a separating side (4a) of the second bag (1b) facing the separating side (3b) of the first bag (1a). The fastening system (5a) is configured such that the first bag (1a) is completely detachable from the second bag (1b).

Abstract: Embodiments of methods and apparatus for plating a PCI Express edge connector are described. In one embodiment, a printed circuit board having connectors is employed for electroplating one or more of the connectors formed thereon. The printed circuit board comprises a substrate having one or more layers, and a plurality of connectors formed on one or more of the layers, wherein at least one connector includes at least one short pin and at least one extra pin. The at least one extra pin extends beyond an outer shape of the printed circuit board after fabrication. The printed circuit board also includes connection circuitry formed on one or more of the layers, wherein the connection circuitry is configured to electrically connect the short pin with the extra pin at least during electroplating of said short pin.
