Abstract: A grating with a large aspect ratio is disclosed, in particular to be used as an X-ray optical grating in a CT system and in particular produced by a lithography method. In at least one embodiment, the grating includes a multiplicity of recurring alternating grating webs and grating gaps with a height, and a multiplicity of filler beams, respectively arranged in the grating gaps with a spacing from one another in the direction of the gaps, which beams connect respectively adjacent grating webs over their height. In at least one embodiment, the grating webs and the grating gaps run from a first to a second side of the grating, and a filler beam has a width in the direction of the gaps and this width is at most 10% of the spacing between two adjacent filler beams. In at least one embodiment, the spacings between respective adjacent filler beams in a grating gap do not vary by more than 10% in the entire grating.

Abstract: A ball whisk having a handle with a plurality of pins or blades projecting out of an end of the handle in a conical array. The free ends of the blades are provided with enlarged surface area, ball shaped mixing elements. The whisk blades are of resilient metal. The blades are of such length and the balls are so placed that a plane through the balls on the ends of the blades in the conical array is oblique to the axis of the handle.
