Abstract: Among other things, there are disclosed embodiments of a cutting device for foods, having two opposed handles and a grid of filaments connected to them. In particular embodiments, a spindle within one handle allows the grid to be wound around it. The spindle may be biased, e.g. with a spring, and may include holding or braking mechanisms to hold the grid in a desired configuration.

Abstract: Voids (26) at the interface of a printed circuit board (10) bonded to a heat sink (24) which impede heat transfer from a heat generating electronic component (12) mounted on the printed circuit board (10) to the heat sink (24), and thus limit the density of electronic components (12) that may be mounted to a given printed circuit board (10) are avoided by a method wherein the adhesive securing the printed circuit board (10) to the heat sink (24) is formed of a pressure sensitive adhesive layer (22) and a thermosetting adhesive layer (28). The latter fills the voids and thus provides for greater thermal conductivity from a heat generating component (12) to the heat sink (24) with the result in increase in heat rejection (30).

Abstract: The discoloration or off-luster border area known as "annealing border", which may form on low-carbon steel strip during box annealing of coils in commercial HNX atmospheres is eliminated by (a) subjecting the strip to oxidizing conditions such that the coil edges undergo a weight gain of 0.08 to 0.8 mg/cm.sup.2 of strip surface and (b) reducing the so-formed oxide during box annealing.
