Abstract: A transfer device for a foldable container which has an approximately cubical shape when unfolded and is provided with a pour spout at one surface is described; a plurality of such containers, which have been folded into an approximately triangular shape by inverting one half of the container within the other half of the container, are extracted one at a time and transferred to the next processing step.

Abstract: A method for fabricating transformers each having a core made from a lamination body of strips made of an amorphous magnetic alloy comprises the steps of forming a ring-like lamination body using a grindstone cutter and a gas coolant to obtain a developed lamination body, shaping the developed lamination into a substantially rectangular core, assembling windings with the core using a sliding tool for inserting leg portions of the core into windows of windings, covering the core with a core cover and mounting a grounding member so as to ground the core to the ground.

Abstract: Novel crystal modifications of (+)-catechin monohydrate and of (+)-catechin anhydrate more suitable for pharmaceutical preparations for reasons of higher stability against moisture and/or light and distinguished from hitherto known modifications by unique X-ray diffraction spectra are produced by specific recrystallization and/or crystal rearrangement processes and pharmaceutical preparations comprising the novel crystal forms.
