Abstract: A filled sugar candy made with a hard sugar candy outer shell encasing a center filling made of a viscous liquid sugar syrup. The hard sugar candy outer shell consists essentially of sugar materials with a low moisture content, less than approximately two percent by weight, and with essentially no acid content. The center filling syrup consists of a moisture content ranging from 19 to 23 percent by weight, the remainder consisting of sugars with essentially no acid content. The center filling syrup ranges from 13 to 16 percent by weight of the filled sugar candy, the remainder being the hard sugar candy outer shell.In a home kitchen, the filled sugar candy is melted by applying heat and agitation thereto to produce a hot viscous syrupy product which homogeneously combines the hard sugar candy outer shell and the center filling. The melted syrupy product is poured into molds and is allowed to cool, whereby the poured product becomes molded hard sugar candies.

Abstract: A flexible resilient valve disc is mounted in a valve body and is biased by its own resilience against an annular valve seat surrounding an inlet cavity in an inlet body member. The valve disc is adapted to be deflected away from the valve seat into an outlet chamber and an outlet body member. Mating pin and socket formations are formed axially on the body member. The valve disc has a central mounting hole which is received with an interference fit on the pin formation. Initially, the disc is flat, but is deflected into a cupped shape by engagement with the valve seat, when the valve members are assembled and bonded together. The inlet and outlet body members have inlet and outlet connections with inlet and outlet passages therein. The inlet and outlet connections are offset in a radially outward direction from the central axis of the valve.

Abstract: An electromagnet for generating the constant magnetic field required in NMR tomography includes a superconductive coil system consisting of at least one circular cylindrical field coil (1) and at least one correction coil (2, 3) concentric with the field coil. The coil system is enclosed in a ferromagnetic cylindrical shell (13) whose influence on the homogeneity of the magnetic field is compensated by the particular dimensioning of the field and correction coils.

The cylindrical shell (13) may be closed at its ends by ring-shaped ferromagnetic plates (14). The cylindrical shell (13), complete with plates (14), may directly form the exterior wall of the Dewar.

Abstract: An electromagnet for producing the constant magnetic field required in NMR tomography comprises a coil system (1, 2, 3, 4) of the Helmholtz double coil type. The coil system is enclosed in, and supported by, a stable cylindrical shell (5). The influence exerted by the cylindrical shell (5) on the homogeneity of the magnetic field, which is generated by the coil system in an accessible interior space defined by it and suitable to receive the body to be examined, is compensated by the particular dimensioning of the field and error coils (1, 2, 3, 4). The cylindrical shell (5) is best made of a ferromagnetic material having low electric conductivity and is constructed of a plurality of axially serially disposed annular discs (6) which are preferably divided into sectors.
