Abstract: A flow control for a continuous-flow water heater is used to control the flow of gas to a burner (24) of a heat exchanger (29) as a function of the passage of water, in which only one operating element has to be actuated. The reduction in apertures through the housing wall of the flow control, reduces the risk of leaks. Furthermore, manufacturing expenditure is minimized. To this end, in addition to the operating element (8), a switching element (9) is rotatably mounted on a spindle (7) projecting from the water-carrying housing (5), wherein a rotary movement of the operating element (8) can be transmitted via drivers (10; 11) to the switching element (9), which also has a switching contour (13) by means of which a fixedly arranged microswitch (14) can be actuated, by means of which an electronic ignition and monitoring device (3) can be electrically actuated, by means of which gas flow to the burner can be shut off.

Abstract: A polishing head assembly for single side polishing of silicon wafers is provided. The polishing head assembly includes a polishing head and a cap. The polishing head has a recess along a bottom portion, the recess having a recessed surface. The cap is positioned within the recess, and has an annular wall and a floor extending across the annular wall. The floor is spaced from the recessed surface to form a chamber therebetween. The chamber is configured to be pressurized for deflecting the floor. The annular wall is attached to the polishing head with an adhesive.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to devise a flow control for a continuous-flow water heater, which is used to control the flow of gas to a burner of a heat exchanger as a function of the passage of water, in which only one operating element has to be actuated. Because of the reduction in the apertures through the housing wall of the flow control, at the same time the risk leaks occurring is reduced. Furthermore, the expenditure in manufacturing is to be minimized. To this end, in addition to the operating element (8), a switching element (9) is rotatably mounted on a spindle (7) projecting from the water-carrying housing (5), wherein a rotary movement of the operating element (8) can be transmitted via drivers (10; 11) to the switching to element (9), which also has a switching contour (13) by means of which a fixedly arranged microswitch (14) can be actuated, by means of which an electronic ignition and monitoring device (3) can be electrically actuated, by means of which gas flow to the burner can be shut off.

Abstract: A polishing head assembly for single side polishing of silicon wafers includes a polishing head and a cap. The polishing head includes a top surface and a bottom surface and defines a longitudinal axis extending therethrough. The cap is positioned coaxially with the polishing head and includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface is spaced from the bottom surface of the polishing head to form a chamber that allows the cap to deflect toward the polishing head.
