Abstract: A stand mixer has a vertical direction, a transverse direction, and a lateral direction and includes a motor, a head comprising a central shaft operably coupled to the motor and rotating about a central axis, and an offset shaft operably coupled to the motor and rotating about an offset axis, and a mixing assembly comprising a transmission assembly mechanically coupling the central shaft and the offset shaft, and a mixer attachment mechanically coupled to the transmission assembly, wherein the central shaft and the offset shaft provide an input motion and the transmission assembly generates an output motion from input motion, the mixer attachment moving in the output motion, and wherein the input motion is different from the output motion.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions including monoglycerides and alkyl esters of fatty acids. An exemplary embodiment includes about 15 wt % to about 99 wt % of one or more monoglycerides of a C4-C28 fatty acid, and about 1 wt % to about 75 wt % of one or more alkyl esters of a C8-C20 fatty acid.

Abstract: A spine of an electrode assembly is constructed by simultaneously deploying a plurality of individual bobbins of lead wire radially around the longitudinal axis of a polymeric tube. A free end of lead wire from each bobbin is electrically connected to a respective electrode and the electrodes are sequentially installed from a distal first location on the polymeric tube to a proximal location. Each lead wire may be helically wound around the polymeric tube between the electrode to which the lead wire is electrically connected and a proximally adjacent electrode, such that each lead wire between adjacent pairs of electrodes has an alternating direction of winding.

Abstract: In the formation of metal vias, plugs or lines, a metal layer is deposited onto a non-planar non-metallic surface of a substrate. The metal layer is chemical mechanical polished with a first polishing pad until the metal layer is substantially planarized and a residual layer having a thickness about equal to the depth of potential microscratches, between about 200 and 1000 angstroms, remains over the non-metallic surface. The residual layer is chemical mechanical polished with a second, softer polishing pad until the non-metallic surface is exposed and the residual layer is removed.
