Abstract: Attachment for emptying a thin plastic bag containing a viscous liquid, especially a bag filled with adhesive. Said attachment comprising a base plate (3), which preferably is designed as a lid, which fits onto the working container. In said base plate an opening (4) is made, which opening has a tapered section (5), which tapers to a point (8). The side edges (6, 7) of said tapered section being connected to one another at said point (8) via a suitable rounded section. At least along said rounded section an upwards projecting wall (9) has been arranged, said wall forming a guiding surface for the thin bag, whereas on the bottom side of the base plate a wall (11) is arranged, said wall forming a screen near the said point (8). The wall (9) and the screen (11) can together with the rounded section be designed as an insert, that can be clamped into the tapered section (5) of the opening (4) of the base plate.

Abstract: During operation of a solid electrolytic capacitor having manganese dioxide as a semiconductor compound, the impedance and the loss factor increase whereas the capacitance decreases. This can be attributed to a dissociation of the manganese dioxide, in which process oxygen is released which attacks the housing. This is obviated by introducing MnO.sub.2 powder in the housing, either in loose form or, preferably, by dispersing finely distributed manganese-dioxide powder in the material of the housing.

Abstract: A box-like pallet provided with a bottom and two or more interconnected, upright side walls. The two side edges of at least one side wall are connected to the adjacent side walls, in an upwardly and downwardly movable manner relative to the bottom, by means of at least two strips which are pivotably mounted on the side walls.
