Abstract: A lamp base includes a housing for at least partial accommodation of a carrier for a light source. Two mutually-opposing guide rails are provided in the housing for the form-fitted insertion of the carrier. The technology is particularly applicable to carriers with LEDs as light sources and addresses problems with adhesive or soldered attachment of the light source carrier.

Abstract: A device for separating liquids from gases with a multiplicity of channels with inlets at an inlet plane, linear segments extending from the inlet plane to helical segments and linear outlet segments extending away from the helical segments. The channels are of uniform cross section across their entire length and in a plane perpendicular to the inlet plane for an undulating profile in projection and an undulating profile in projection in a plane perpendicular to both these latter planes and the inlet plane. The projections of the channel in these planes perpendicular to the inlet plane are offset in phase. The result is a true three-dimensional deflection of the fluid traversing each channel.

Abstract: In a liquid separator for separating liquid components entrained in a two-phase flow, in which the flow is passed through a channel provided with trap pockets for trapping the liquid components and the trap pockets have guide plates upstream thereof the ends of which have separating edges for introducing the liquid into the trap pockets, provision is made for increasing the separating capacity and for reducing the pressure losses by having each separating edge of the respective guide plate disposed at a distance (b) upstream of the associated trap pocket and by making the end of the guide plate curve in the direction leading into the trap pocket.

Abstract: With low-pressure or die-casting methods there frequently occur leaks during the transfer of the molten metal from the metal containing basin or vessel to the mold. These leaks often lead to serious accidents and related operating interruptions. According to the invention these problems are solved by a casting method, wherein all movements of the mold occur in a vertical plane. With a preferred embodiment of apparatus for the performance of the method the mold is placed in a positive or form-locking manner with its casting or pour opening upon the casting hole of the metal containing vessel or basin and pressed against the latter in a fluidtight fashion by means of a pneumatic lifting cylinder. This affords the advantage of a simple connection of the mold with the basin and without requiring a coupling mechanism, and, additionally, the heating of the riser or up tube and/or immersion tube can be omitted, which otherwise conventionally was performed by gas heating.
