Abstract: A film capacitor includes first and second contact layers and a metallized dielectric film with first and second end faces and with first and second film sides. The first end face of the metallized dielectric film is connected to the first contact layer and the second end face is connected to the second contact layer. The metallized dielectric film has first, second and third metallization layers, with at least two of the metallization layers applied on the first film side of the metallized dielectric film and at least a further of the metallization layers applied on the second film side. The metallization layers are arranged on the film sides in such a manner that a first overlap with a first partial capacitance and a second overlap with a second partial capacitance are embodied between the metallization layers on the film sides, with the partial capacitances forming a series connection.

Abstract: A machine for processing flat, flexible articles, such as leather, to soften them. The machine utilizes a pair of opposed undulating surfaced processing members having an advance and return movement superimposed on an up and down movement. The opposed processing members are disposed on each side of the article to be processed, and soften the article, as well as move the article along between the processing members.
