Abstract: A household PEF cooking device includes a cooking product container which can be filled with liquid and includes PEF electrodes which lie opposite one another and between which a cooking product can be introduced. A PEF signal generator applies PEF signals to the PEF electrodes, and a control device control the PEF signal generator. An IR sensor which measures contactlessly is disposed at a distance from the PEF electrodes and connected to the control device. A measuring dot of the IR sensor encompasses an outer face of an electrically conductive region of a wall of the cooking product container, which electrically conductive region can be contacted on an inner face by the liquid when the cooking product container is full.

Abstract: In a precision mechanical-optical system, there is the problem of guaranteeing, for the production of a composite made from a plurality of mounted optical lenses, the mutual alignment of the optical axes during assembly and high strength of the composite after assembly with low expense in terms of equipment. Flanges are formed on the mounts for the optical elements, these flanges projecting outward in the radial direction and for adjacent mounts, abutting each other with facing joint surfaces, and are clamped by threaded connections tightening in the axial direction between paired, opposing bending elements.
