Abstract: A rod-shaped electrolysis device having an electrically conductive housing, wherein in the housing, a receiving space for at least one voltage source and an electronic control unit is embodied which is separated from an electrode space formed in the housing in a liquid-tight manner, and wherein an electrode extends within the electrode space, and wherein in the housing, at least one opening is formed in the region of the electrode space. The electrolysis device is characterized in that the housing comprises a receiving socket which is electrically connected both with the housing and the electrode. Via the receiving socket, the residual voltage of a voltage source and also the charging of a rechargeable voltage source may be measured. Furthermore, a data memory may be read out via the receiving socket.

C., and2) from 10 to 25% by weight of a polymer V having a softening point of at least 90.degree. C.andc) a layer VI containing a polymer VII.

Abstract: The heat sealing film and a magnetic transfer strip contain an adhesive layer comprising thermoplastic, immiscible binder components. One component is spherical, amorphous and embedded in finely distributed form in a homogeneous layer of the other, highly crystalline components in such a way that the spherical component protrudes hemispherically from the layer. The spherical binder is a glassy solid up to at least 60.degree. C. and above 80.degree. C. is plastically deformable. The hemispheres protruding from the adhesive layer produce a uniform, fine roughness of the surface. Both heat sealing film and magnetic transfer strip are nonblocking up to at least 60.degree. C. and heat-sealable at temperatures greater than 80.degree. C. The adhesive layer imparts to a magnetic recording medium a uniform thickness of the adhesive joint and a permanent, temperature-resistant adhesive force.
