Abstract: The invention is an improvement of the filter unit in beverage makers. Said filter unit comprises a filter insert and a filter lock, can be placed as a whole onto and removed from the brewing container, and at the same time ensures good sealing of all components. For improved handling, the brewing chamber can be filled and closed outside of the beverage-maker, wherein the particularly large depth of the filter insert offers significant assistance. Closing the brewing chamber by means of the filter closure prevents the beverage base material from oozing out due to a ring engaging in the filter insert and additionally ensures its adequate sealing. By widening the brewing chamber, the beverage-making machine provides a consistent quality of the beverages with of different fill levels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a reflector (1) for electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range of 100 nm to 1 mm, having high resistance against weather and corrosion effects, comprising a metal reflector body (2) having a reflecting surface (3), or a reflector body (2) on which a reflective layer (9) is deposited, and a transparent cover layer (4) made of polysiloxane formed in a sol-gel process. In order to maintain the known advantages of sol-gel protective coatings and achieve a technologically more advantageous production method, according to the invention, the cover layer (4) is made of a cross-linked polycondensate product of at least one silicic acid ester and at least one cyclic siloxane oligomer comprising, alkyl, vinyl, and/or aryl groups.

Abstract: A composite material including a carrier g of aluminum, an optically effective multi-layer system applied to a side (A) of the carrier. The system having at least 2 dielectric and/or oxidic layers, namely an upper layer and a lower, light-absorbing layer. The lower, light-absorbing layer contains a titanium-aluminum mixed oxide TiAlqOx and/or a titanium-aluminum makes nitride TiAlqNy and/or a titanium-aluminum mixed oxynitride TiAlqOxNy, while the upper layer is an oxidic layer made of titanium, silicon or tin of the chemical composition TiOz, SiOw, or SnOv, where the indices q, v, w, y and z each denote a stoichiometric or nonstoichiometric ratio.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a holder for an electronic device, wherein the holder includes a receptacle that is specifically configured for the electronic device, a base device which includes an integrated electrical connection element, which is independent of the receptacle, for establishing an electrical connection between the electronic device and an electrical unit, and fixing parts for establishing a detachable mechanical connection between the base device and the receptacle.

Abstract: A holding element with a holding clip for holding a carrier board is soldered freestanding to a printed circuit board (PCB). The holding element has first and second holding arms that extend from a supporting region and form a receiving region therebetween. The first holding arm is connected to a first leg and the second holding arm is connected to a second leg. The first and second legs each have a base in an end region. At least one of the legs has a curved surface in the region of the base so that the holding element can be soldered to the PCB. The holding element being made of a strip material, and the first and second holding arms each having an outward bend forming a transition into the first and second legs, respectively.

Abstract: Holding element with a holding clip, arrangement with a carrier board and a holding element, and aA holding element (2) with a holding clip, an arrangement of a holding element (2) with a carrier board (32) and an arrangement of a holding element with a carrier strip are described, the carrier strip and the holding element being of integral construction. Advantageously, the holding element has two legs, with which a holding clip can be placed on a carrier board. In this way, a stable holding element is produced, which stands without further assistance on a base-board and can hence be easily soldered.

Abstract: A hybrid circuit with a heat dissipation system includes a terminal arrangement wherein at least one of the connecting pins (5) to solder the hybrid circuit (1) on a printed board has a heat transition resistance to the hybrid circuit (1), which is greater in relation to the other connecting pins (2) in such a way that the connecting pin (5) does not reach the melting temperature of the solder used at a given power level.

Abstract: Terminal pins with two lateral portions and a bridge-shaped elevated middle portion are provided. The terminal pin and perpendicularly rising hybrid circuit typically together have an inverted T shape. On the one hand, the hybrid circuit stands on its own on the substrate without further means of assistance and can be soldered. On the other hand, the bridge-shaped construction effects a sufficient elasticity and carrying capacity relative to swivellings, or respectively, accelerations, as well as effecting the presence of two defined support surfaces whose co-planarity is guaranteed by the springing configuration of the terminal pins.
