Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for sorting disc-shaped objects, in particular coins. The device comprises a conveying device configured to convey individual disc-shaped objects along a conveyor path. A discharge unit comprising a pivotable diversion element serves to selectively discharge individual objects which are being conveyed along the conveyor path. The objects are discharged according to a previously determined classification for each object, in a classification system which differentiates between good parts and defective parts. In order to discharge an object, the diversion element is designed to be pivoted by means of a drive into the conveyor path such that, by means of the pivoting movement, the diversion element transfers a mechanical impulse to the object to be discharged. The impulse has, with respect to the direction of movement of the object at the time of the impulse transfer, both a perpendicular and an antiparallel impulse component.

Abstract: A casing for an electronic device is produced from a heat-resistant, flame-retardant thermoplastic by an injection-molding process. This thermoplastic is a polyimide-based plastic with halogen-free flame retardancy.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solid or aqueous lubricant concentrate used for the cold forming of metals, which, with reference to the solids content, including a) 20 to 50 parts by weight polyethylene with a softening point above 120.degree. C. and a particle size int he range between 0.1 and 50 .mu.m; b) 20 to 8 parts by weight polyacrylate with a molecular weight of 4,500 to 10,000 and c) 2 to 8 parts by weight styrene/acrylic acid copolymer with a molecular weight of 150,000 to 250,000 and a glass transition temperature of 45 to 55.degree. C., where, under the conditions of use, the acrylic acid component of the polymers in accordance with items b) and c) is predominantly present as salt of one or more inorganic cations, and the softening points of the individuals polymers are distributed over the temperature range defined by the limiting values of ambient temperature and 200.degree.
