Abstract: The disclosure relates to a portable work apparatus. The work apparatus includes a spacer which is arranged on the front housing and has a contact region. The contact region has a maximum distance, as measured radially, with respect to the rotational axis of the output shaft, the distance being greater than the cutting radius of the cutting tool in a first, non-deformed state of the spacer. The spacer is elastically deformable. The spacer is elastically deformed in a second state in such a manner that the maximum distance of the contact region is at most the same size as the cutting radius, and the spacer is arranged completely outside the cutting plane of the cutting tool.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an electroless gold plating bath comprising a) gold ions; b) sulfite ions; c) iodide ions; d) at least one phosphonate compound according to formula (1) wherein each X is independently an alkanediyl group; R1, R2, R3 and each R4 are independently alkanediyl groups; M is independently hydrogen, a metal atom or a cation forming radical; each n is a rational number and selected in accordance with the valency of the respective M; and b is an integer ranging from 1 to 10. The invention further is directed to the use of the bath and a method for depositing a gold layer on a surface of a substrate. The bath is particularly suitable in the manufacture of printed circuit boards, IC substrates, semiconducting devices, interposers made of glass and the like.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrode assembly for the electrochemical treatment of liquids with a low conductivity. Said assembly comprises electrodes (1, 2), between which a polymer solid electrolyte (3) is situated. The electrodes are pressed against one another by means of a compression device (9, 10; 91) and are configured in such a way that the assembly can be traversed by the liquid. To produce said assembly simply and to ensure that it is flexible and easy to use, the compression device (9, 10; 91) is supported on the electrodes (1, 2).

Abstract: An automated method performed by a content host computer determines whether a client user is a human. A request for access to content residing on the content host computer is received from a client user. One or more advertising video clips are presented to the client user. An entire authenticating reference pass phrase is communicated to the client user in exactly one advertising video clip. An input passphrase is received from the client user. The input pass phrase is compared to the authenticating reference pass phrase. If the comparison shows identity, the client user is granted access to the requested content.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel device for electrolytic disinfection of drinking water, service water and waste water using anodically generated disinfectants. The cathodic formation of hydrogen is prevented by using gas diffusion electrodes as the cathode. Atmospheric oxygen is reduced to hydroxyl ions and/or hydrogen peroxide at the gas diffusion electrodes. A permanent anode can be positioned between two gas diffusion electrodes. The latter then function alternately as a cathode or a second anode. This polarity change enables the removal of the deposits containing metal ions that form during the cathodic reaction from the gas diffusion electrodes. The substances with the disinfecting effect are produced through the use of different electrode materials for the anode and the diffusion electrode either at both anodes or at the anode and cathode.

Abstract: A method and a device for the regeneration of an electroless metal deposition bath containing hypophosphite ions by electrodialysis is described. The method according to the invention and the device differ from the prior art in that the bath solution is led simultaneously through diluate compartments in a second electrodialysis unit having cathodes and anodes, which compartments are separated from concentrate compartments in the second electrodialysis unit on the cathode side by monoselective anion-exchange membranes and on the anode side by anion-exchange membranes, the diluate compartments and the concentrate compartments in the second electrodialysis unit being disposed alternately to one another.
