Abstract: A cooler for breast milk or other liquids is disclosed. The cooler comprehends an interior pocket adapted to receive lactation accessories that a user wishes to be cooled. The interior pocket can be adapted to be positioned in a variety of locations within the cooler to enhance or restrict the efficiency of thermal transmission between the contents of the pocket and a cooling element located within the cooler. Also disclosed is a sensor that can be associated with the pocket. The sensor can provide a temperature output to an external device or a display in or on the container delineating a temperature within the cooler.

Abstract: An electrical contact component and a method for the production thereof. The contact component has a sintered contact element and a contact carrier cast onto the contact element. The grains of the contact element are oriented in a preferential direction.

Abstract: A process for producing a Cu—Cr material by powder metallurgy for a switching contact, in particular for vacuum switches, includes the steps of pressing a Cu—Cr powder mixture formed from Cu powder and Cr powder and sintering the pressed Cu—Cr powder mixture to form the material of the Cu—Cr switching contact. The sintering or a subsequent thermal treatment process is carried out with an alternating temperature profile, in which the Cu—Cr powder mixture or the Cu—Cr material is heated above an upper temperature limit value and cooled again below a lower temperature limit value at least twice in alternation. All of the steps are carried out at temperatures at which no molten phase forms.

Abstract: A circular saw blade (2) includes at least two sectors (S) following each other in a circumferential direction and each having an axial run-out region (B1, B2), with the following each other axial run-out regions (B1, B2) directed to opposite sides of the blade saw (2) relative to a saw middle plane (E), and a working element (6), preferably a diamond body, provided on a circumference (U) of the saw blade.

Abstract: A laser carrier baseplate and method of making the same is described. The laser carrier baseplate having high thermal conductivity is used for receiving a coupling apparatus for optically coupling a high power laser to an optical fiber by means of laser beam welding. The location of weld joints required to secure the apparatus to the baseplate is first identified along with the depth and diameter of the weld joints where the apparatus is to be secured. one or more low thermal conductivity inserts are placed and secured at each weld joint.
