Abstract: A cutting tool (2) is specified with a cutting region (4) that comprises a substrate (12) onto which a coating (10) is applied, which coating (10) is subsequently processed, whereby a sharp cutting edge (8) is formed. Furthermore, a corresponding method for the manufacture of the cutting tool (2) is specified. By means of the sharpening of the cutting edge (8) after the coating rather than before, a particularly sharp cutting edge (8) is formed, whereby the precision of the cutting tool (2) as well as its service life is improved.

Abstract: A utensil holder for use in a dishwasher includes a basket including front, rear, bottom and opposing side walls, as well as an upper opening. The rear wall has a height greater than the front wall. A lid member, having a support surface across which are arrayed a plurality of openings, is secured across the upper opening. The plurality of openings receive and arrange utensils to be exposed to a washing operation. A handle member, including first and second upstanding portions interconnected through a cross bar portion, extends from the basket. The cross bar portion includes angled sections that enable a gripping section to be offset. The utensil holder is designed to mount in various configurations to an inner liner of a dishwasher door, or alternatively be supported on a rack in the dishwasher.

Abstract: A utensil holder assembly for a dishwasher includes multiple utensil baskets that can be mounted in various different configurations in the dishwasher to provide a consumer with the flexibility to construct diverse arrangements of dishware, cookware, utensils and the like for a washing operation. In a first configuration, two utensil baskets are interconnected to form an elongated basket which can be mounted to an inner liner of a dishwasher door. In a second configuration, one basket is mounted to the inner liner and the other basket is supported on a rack in the dishwasher. In a third configuration, both of the baskets are supported on the rack.

Abstract: A vertical height adjustment mechanism for a dish rack includes a slide member fixedly mounted relative to a support member, a housing secured to the dish rack, and a latch member. The housing includes a central guide channel that slidably receives the slide member. The latch member includes a support leg, an actuating arm and an intermediate portion joining the support leg and actuating arm. The sliding element includes an end portion that receives and retains the support leg of the latch when the dish rack is in the raised position.

Abstract: The invention relates to carboxamide-substituted phenylurea derivatives and their physiologically tolerated salts and physiologically functional derivatives. Compounds of the formula I in which the radicals have the stated meanings, and the physiologically tolerated salts thereof and process for their preparation are described. The compounds are suitable, for example, for treating type II diabetes.

Abstract: A power-supply apparatus, or ballast, for starting and operating a high-pressure gas discharge lamp is fed from a battery and has at least one current- and/or power-controlled voltage converter which is coupled to a high-pressure gas discharge lamp via an ignition device and to a current/power control device via input and output terminals. A comparator of the current/power control device produces a switching signal dependent upon a lamp voltage input signal, and a capacitor, dependent upon the switching signal, is charged with a circuit having a first time constant and discharged with a circuit having a second time constant. The charge voltage of the capacitor is applied to the output to determine the level and duration of additional power supplied to the high-pressure gas discharge lamp after ignition. When the power-supply apparatus is turned off, the capacitor is coupled to a second reference voltage source and is charged by means of the first time constant.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a motor vehicle headlight including a reflector and/or a lens, a light source coupled to a voltage providing device (W), at least one electrically conductive heating element (H) mounted on or in an enclosing light-transmissive shield coupled to the voltage source, and a switching-on apparatus (E) for the heating element will, in addition to avoiding a coating and ice build-up, in an uncomplicated and cost effective manner provide a dependable, security-increasing, crack monitoring of the light transmissive shield in that the heating element is electrically coupled with an analyzing apparatus (A) which includes a light-transmissive-shield, crack-monitoring device formed as a current or voltage measuring device.
