Abstract: The present invention relates to a shaped product, particularly a shaped ceramic article or shaped glass article, having a touch-friendly surface. The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing such a shaped product, particularly such shaped ceramic article or shaped glass article, and also relates to its use, for example in the household, laboratory, building construction and industry fields.

Abstract: A modular cabinet and particularly one to form cabinets or rack type furniture includes a plurality of parallel posts and a plurality of targeted elements stacking on the posts. Each post has a first coupling portion. Each targeted element has a second coupling portion slidably engaged with the first coupling portion. The second and first coupling portions are maintained at desired locations relative to each other through a retaining element located in the second coupling portion. The first coupling portion further has a fixing element to hold the targeted elements at two ends of the posts. The modular cabinet thus formed can be assembled and installed easily. By stacking the targeted elements the structural strength of the modular cabinet is enhanced.

Abstract: A radiation-deflecting system is disclosed which can be used in particular as a lighting system for rooms, halls, stores or the like. This radiation-deflecting system includes at least one radiation source, such as a high power light source, which emits parallel radiation such as a parallel light beam. In the path of radiation (16) of the radiation source there are arranged a plurality of partially transparent mirrors (2), in spaced apart arrangement, which serve as radiation distributing elements (1) and are arranged to be rotatable around the radiation axis and around a second axis perpendicular thereto. The partially transparent mirrors (2) are preferably exchangeable. With the aid of the partially transparent mirror of the radiation distributing element (1) a part of the radiation is branched off and deflected and directed to a predetermined desired location.
