Abstract: The heat resistant subdivision of magnetic domains of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet for improving the watt loss characterized by forming intruders therein is improved by pickling the steel sheet prior to the electroplating of the intrudable means. The partly exposed steel sheets are pickled by HNO.sub.3, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 containing Fe.sup.3+, HCl containing Fe.sup.3+, and/or HBF.sub.4.

Abstract: A hand-held electrically heated tool for applying heat to an object includes an elongated metallic tubular handle open at its forward and rear ends and having a plurality of raised relatively-spaced longitudinally extending vanes formed on its the inner surface and extending between the forward and rear ends thereof. An exposed metal electrical resistance heating element forming a wire tip is mounted in an insulator disposed in the forward end of the handle in engagement with the vanes with the tip extending forwardly of the handle. A spherically concave portion of the insulator reflects heat away from the handle.

Abstract: A keybaord which is capable of varying the pressure required for the keystroke is provided and comprises an inflatable arrangement being a variable pressure bladder which fits over the keyboard between the base plate and the keys. The operator may vary the pressure delivered to the system as desired and may also preset a cycle of time intervals with pressure "on" and pressure "off". Alternatively, the pressure supply may be linked to a number of keyboards and a programmed variable pressure cycle will be delivered to all the keyboards.
