Abstract: A knife grip attachment. The attachment includes a body having an upper portion and a pair of lateral portions extending therefrom. A recess is defined within the body between the pair of lateral portions, wherein the recess receives a spine of a knife blade therein, such that a lower surface of the upper portion rests against the spine. In some embodiments, a protrusion extends from a rear side of the upper portion, wherein the protrusion extends over a knife handle when the spine is received within the recess.

Abstract: Extremely high solids content silica dispersions are useful for forming green bodies of near net shape as compared to the shape of the bodies after sintering. The green bodies are particularly useful for sintering to form low impurity-containing crucibles for single crystal silicon production.

Abstract: In a salt concentrate container system for a dialysis apparatus comprising a salt container consisting of a flexible bag provided at its opposite ends with connecting elements for connection with counter elements of a dialysis apparatus, a rigid bracket extends around the flexible bag and is coupled to the connecting elements at the opposite ends of the bag for firmly holding the connecting elements at a predetermined distance from each other.

Abstract: The relay has a structure with a coil, yoke and armature as well as contacts, whereby one of the contacts is connected to a terminal element via the yoke and a plug fuse. The yoke has a yoke section that extends laterally at the relay into the proximity of the bottom side. A laterally projecting spring clip is respectively secured both to the yoke section as well as to the appertaining terminal element. The two spring clips are bridged by the plug fuse attached laterally to the relay.

Abstract: A reduced-noise relay has an inside housing and an outside housing. Inside terminals are connected to outside terminals via stranded conductors. An additional intermediate cap of elastomer is plugged over the inside housing with the stranded conductors in the interspace between the inside housing and the outside housing. Together with a damping frame and a damping plate, the intermediate cap effects a sound decoupling of the relay from the outside.

Abstract: Compounds of the general formula (I) ##STR1## and compounds of the general formula (II) ##STR2## in which R.sup.1 represents --OH, --CH.sub.2 OH, --CH.sub.2 --OCH.sub.3, --CHOH--CH.sub.3, --CHO or --CH(OCH.sub.3).sub.2,R.sup.2 represents methyl or ethyl,R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or methyl, andX represents hydrogen or methyl, are disclosed.Processes for the manufacture of certain compounds of formula (I) and for those of formula (II) are also provided. The compounds are useful as perfume materials.

Abstract: Apparatus for housing electrical components is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a housing in which are secured a mounting member and at least one circuit board. Components are mounted on the mounting member and circuit board externally of the housing. Thereafter, the mounting member is fastened and the circuit board inserted in the housing. Mating contacts are provided on the mounting member and the circuit board to electrically connect components on the board to components on the mounting member. A protective switch is provided to automatically disconnect an input to the electrical components upon at least partial disassembly of the apparatus. The mounting member is disclosed to be a U-shaped plate one leg of which forms a part of the front panel of the apparatus. Another plate is provided secured to the circuit board and forms the remainder of the front panel when the board is inserted in the housing.

Abstract: The sample crucibles inserted in a slide rod are introduced, through a high vaccum lock, into the ion source of a mass spectrometer. The slide rod, together with its drive, is mounted on a lock carriage which runs parallel to the direction of travel of the slide rod. The lock carriage has a separate drive and carries, on the end face which points towards the mass spectrometer, a stuffing box for the vacuum-tight passage of the slide rod. On the rear wall of the high vacuum lock is mounted an O-ring seal, which, with the lock carriage moved in, seals the remaining space between the rear wall of the lock and the end face of the lock carriage, in the region of the slide rod. The sample crucibles can be taken out selectively from the sample magazine, which can slide at right angles to the slide rod, by means of the holder mounted at the end of the slide rod.
