Abstract: A bubble level suitable for spaces that are restricted in the vertical dimension has a 45 degree prism attached to the top surface, so that the image of the bubble vial is deflected along a horizontal axis. The prism is optionally rotatable to permit changing the viewing angle in a horizontal plane.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing a ceramic laminate comprising an array of unfired ceramic substrates having intersecting slots in at least two directions formed on a side thereof. The apparatus includes a frame and a vacuum chuck fixture movable with respect to the frame for securing the laminate. A plurality of the blade assemblies are independently movable and adapted for passage through different slots in the laminate to loosen debris therefrom. Each blade assembly comprises a pair of blade portions having opposed and spaced tapered cutting edges biased against the wall of the slot by a spring. The pair of blade portions is adapted for lateral movement during passage along the slot toward and away from the slot wall, wherein one of the blade portion pairs guides the other of the blade portion pairs for contact with the slot wall.
