Abstract: The invention is directed to an electrical appliance, in particular an appliance for hair removal or hair care, with at least one electric power unit, an electric circuit connected thereto and including an On/Off switch, and a fluid circuit feeding a fluid from a reservoir to an application site which is open to atmosphere and where fluid is withdrawn from the fluid circuit, wherein the On/Off switch, in overcoming an actuator travel, is switchable between two end positions and is coupled to an actuator of a shutoff valve of the fluid circuit.

Abstract: A thin electronic chip card with an IC chip and a galvanic element as an energy store, which has at least one lithium-intercalating electrode and has a thin, flexible housing comprising two metal foils, which bear directly against the electrodes and are connected to each other in a sealed manner with an adhesive or sealing layer, the element is arranged in a recess in the chip card and the chip card and the element are covered on both sides by an overlay plastic film, which is firmly bonded to the chip card and the element with an elastic stress-compensating adhesive, which adheres simultaneously on metals and plastics.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a shaving head for a hair cutting apparatus, with at least one outer cutter and at least one under cutter associated therewith and having cutting edges, said cutters being movable relative to one another by a drive mechanism, with the outer cutter having an engagement surface comprised of bars and slots, which slots are open at least towards one of two lateral boundary lines of the engagement surface, said boundary lines defining the width of the engagement, wherein the bars are shaped in a meandering, sinusoidal or serpentine configuration extending to and from between the two opposite lateral boundary lines of the engagement surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for temporarily fixing two planar workpieces, in particular a processed wafer and a carrier wafer. A thin layer is first applied to the sides of the two workpieces that have to be connected, and the coated sides of the workpieces are then connected by means of a bonding agent. Care should be taken that the thin layers can preferably be applied easily and removed without leaving any residues. The bonding agent, which actually causes the bond, needs only be selected with respect to its chemical resistance and its mechanical and adhesive properties.
